Arcade Monitor & NES Question
« on: December 30, 2003, 02:35:45 am »
Hello,
I've been lurking around here for some time now.  My question is does a standard Arcade Monitor + Arcade VGA display NES Emulated games properly (does it look good)?

I'm in the process of building a cabinet and am currently going the TV route (Toshiba 27A33 27").  My cabinet will run MAME, NES, and SNES via the MameWAH interface on Windows 2000.

I'm having seconds thoughts on sticking with the TV due to the quality that SVIDEO offers (it's a little fuzzy).  I'm considering going the Radeon 8500+HDTV Component Out option (earlier thread) or ditching the TV and going with an Arcade Monitor (I've got 30 days to return my TV).

Are any of you running NES Emu's on your Arcade Monitors and if so - how does it look?

Many Thx,
Tenka

I run just about every emulator out there under the arcade monitor.  Most games run 320x200 for NES.

Super Dude - Can you clarify? Like setup (AVGA, or no?) , emulators you run, resolutions, etc?

I use ArcadeVGA on a standard res arcade monitor and run many emulators, the ones that have resolutions that match the ones the arcadevga has are the best, but even if they don't they'll look alot better than s-video.

Is there a way to config. a emulator to run under the Arcade VGA resolutions? That would be wonderful for many users...  8)

Some emulators like Gens and Magic Engine have arcade resolutions that you can simply select in thier configs(like 256x240), theres more than likely a nes emulator that has these resolutions, i also run Zsnes this doesn't have any arcade resolutions but still looks great at 640x480.

What about more recent things, like ePSXe and N64 emulators? Is the radeon 7000 power too slow to run these?
