Monitor Identification help and overscan? help.
« on: January 28, 2016, 04:41:25 pm »
I've been having a heck of a time trying to get a picture to fit entirely on the screen, seems like the picture is cut off vertically and horizontally and no matter which knobs I turn on the chassis or on the pigtailed board, nothing brings the picture in.
I also have no clue what chassis I have.  I know it is a WG judging from the serial number sticker but I cannot find any other identifying stickers anywhere, I even pulled it right out to check.  I took some pictures in the hopes that somebody can identify it and hopefully give me some pointers on the scanning adjustments.

If it's of any help the cabinet was originally a neo gevo mvs1

Thanks

Edit - the knobs on the loose board are "black level - vert pos - vert size - horiz pos"

This is the issue I am having not matter what the resolution is and no matter if it's the windows desktop or an emulator.

You can see the image has rolled over top itself like folding a piece of transparent paper.  It's extremely annoying and I cannot for the life of me cannot correct it with any of the visible knobs on the chassis.

Do the size adjustments do anything to the image? The first thing I would do is cap the monitor. Once you cap it see how things look and take it from there.

Thanks, I just found a 12 year old thread that appears to be about the same issue i'm having with a near identical chassis.  Looks like it could be one of many things.

Looks like a k7000. Grab a cap kit for sure. There is also quite a bit of reference out there for those flybacks with the white knobs. I would probably go ahead and replace that too while you have the chassis out.

It seems to really be an issue in vertical games, horizontal games like TMNT and the simpsons have no rollover at all, guessing it's still a chassis issue. 

Also where on his page are you finding that repair kit, it's a mess to browse.

edit - nevermind, found it.

I didn't realize you were running a pc to this one. This may be a resolution issue  for the vertical games to run at their original resolutions. I would poke around the groovymame subforum to see how anyone else is running vertical games on a standard resolution arcade monitor in horizontal configuration. It may be software.

Choose a resolution with max 256 lines vertical. If that solves the problem great. Otherwise there's a pot that can be adjusted that may help. I can send a pic if you need it.
