I am going the xbox route now, but I thought of that and didn't want to pay the $ for it.
I realized in my first post I posted an xbox 360 vga cable.....I cant find one for orig xbox...---steaming pile of meadow muffin---
CoryBee:
So guys, how would you go about it? Turning an orig xbox into an arcade "board" that will replace a Marvel vs Capcom board in an arcade cabinet.
CoryBee:
I basically just need the xbox to output to the arcade monitor without much hassle. With parts that are in the USA.
I can take care of pad hacking some controllers and providing an amp for the sound.
:cheers:

Here is one option for the xbox.

Ultimarc no longer makes dreamcast adaptors. :o

Includes a sync separator circuit
This adaptor is also the correct type for use with multi-frequency monitors which have a VGA plug (eg W-G D9500) These monitors should be connected direct to this adaptor in all cases, even if you have a J-PAC

To connect an PS to a JAMMA cabinet you need the following items:
D-C Controls Adaptor
D-C to J-PAC/Speaker Adaptor
J-PAC with PS/2 keyboard cable option. see our main order page for this item.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION: When connecting this cable to the J-PAC you need to remove all of the frequency jumpers (ie 15, 25, 31) on the J-PAC, which allows all signals to pass through. Only later J-PAC boards have this facility. On older J-PAC boards you will need a replacement chip to enable this function. Please email for details.
The picture below shows a complete console to JAMMA setup.

Will the j-pac handle all of this?
