No... I just got that monitor and it weighs ~ 200 pounds, and I don't particularly want hernia #4... so I'm waiting for help to get it upstairs. lol...

Giant, heavy monitor? Virtual-On?? You've got my attention!

Is that an X-Box on top? I'm not familiar with an xbox verision of Virtual-On... did I miss something?

(goes to Google...) Well, look at that... ! Are you doing a 2-player dedicated setup (with gameplay over Live)??

* RyoriNoTetsujin needs more info like NOW.

That is an Xbox 360 running Virtual On 4 Force. It's a Japanese release, but it is region free, and works on unmodded US 360's...

The monitor is a XC-2930C, 29" Mitsubishi presentation monitor.

I have the 360 hooked up with a VGA cable, and then a VGA to BNC adapter, and then to the RGB BNC plugs on the monitor.

And because I know you'll like it, more V04 goodness:

Oh, and it looks good rotated, too (Raiden IV):

Can't afford a flatscreen?

I was waiting for that... lol.

I like CRT's for gaming, can't help it.

Seriously the monitor looks awesome.

Oh, no, it's not. The UA2 has a PC, and a PC only. This is going to be it's own stand-alone cab. I'm going to post some more pics of parts I've acquired for it. It's taken about a year to find what I wanted.

I was a full sega fanatic in the 90s and still hated Virtua On. Gave this one a whirl - no exception.

You play on the original arcade game?

I know VO is one of those games people either love or hate... there seems to be no middle ground.

SNAAKE · « **Reply #23 on:** April 28, 2012, 04:56:43 pm »

I am on the VO hate train

cuz I got dizzy trying to play it

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #24 on:** April 30, 2012, 09:20:32 am »

Well, got the monitor upstairs yesterday with some help from my brother... that sucker is heavy (the monitor, not my brother)!

I'll take some more pics later today of other stuff I've got for it.

BadMouth · « **Reply #25 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:46:56 am »

Are you converting the arcade sticks to analogue, or does the game work fine with digital input?

Works just fine with digital input.

There are several controller modes, the one I'll be utilizing uses the D-Pad for the left stick, buttons A,B,X,Y for the right stick, and the bumper and trigger buttons for the turbos and fires. I'll be hacking a MadCatz fightpad for this, will be perfect for the job.

how does 360 look with VGA? I've never tried it.

Looks damn good, especially on this monitor!

I'll try to capture some better photos with my real camera so you can see how nice it is.

So an Xbox 360 can be hooked up to a CRT monitor? I'm acquiring a 20" PC monitor very soon and would love to make a 360 cab. Can you please advise what leads/ adapters I would need to buy please HaRuMaN?

Do you need to alter any Xbox video settings at all HaRuMaN?
