Help or I'll Lick The Capacitor!
« on: October 25, 2003, 09:59:16 pm »
Ok, I know at least not to do that, but I am pretty green when it comes to the monitors.  I just aquired a 25" monitor from a Super Offroad Cabinet.  Monitor was discharged before I picked it up (I am still acting as if it were not) and it is still in the cabinet.  I am told I need to get a vga card from unltimarc to hook it up to the pc for mame.  

Kinda trying to figure out where to start here.  Where can i find some info about this montitor? User manuals, faqs, etc.  Thanks for any help you can give me:

Chances are very good that the monitor is a standard res, unless the cabinet housed a game at some point that required a special monitor and the monitor was changed out.  Never assume that the monitor is what was originally in the cab unless you know for sure because it could have been changed out at any time by an op due to failure or otherwise.

The first thing to do is identify the monitor by looking for a label on the chassis somewhere.  Once you know what monitor you have, then you can search for a manual that will tell you where to connect the RGB, ground, and sync from the ArcadeVGA.

Super Off Road games generally came from the factory with a Wells-Gardner model 25K7191 monitor (generically known as the k7000 series). This model is standard CGA resolution only.

I have the same monitor.  It came with my Mortal Kombat II cabinet.  I am currently using an ArcadeVGA card with this monitor with great success.
