Vector only MAME cabinet
krick:
Well, I'm still working on my first MAME cabinet and already I'm planning the second.
I always assumed that eventually I'd have 2 MAME cabinets. One with a horizontal monitor, the other with a vertical monitor. However, I've just realized that I need a third...
A Vector only cabinet with a real vector monitor.
I found this page that sells a product to interface a PC to a vector monitor to run all MAME vector games in their true glory...

Look...Tempest on a Vectrex monitor...
Hmmm... some vector games are on a horizontal monitor.... maybe I need 2 vector only cabinets.
Curse this evil hobby. ;)
Stingray:
Pardon my ignorance, because I have no idea how a real vector monitor works. Is there a way something like that can work on a color vector monitor? It would be really sweet if Tempest were in color in that picture.

i dont think i even play any vector games.... ive tried a few in MAME. but whats the difference between tempest on my 21inch VGA monitor vs that old vector lookin thing? looks the same to me

Sephroth57: Are you TRYING to start an "authenticity" debate?! ;D
There's a definite difference, but it would only be an issue to a REAL vector game fan, probably.
Perosonally, I'm not a huge vector game fan.... (with some exceptions: star wars has a special place in my heart, etc) :)
Sephroth57:
well i agree with authenticity to a point. but to go as far as degrading picture quality to look like it has 80s technology in it... i dunno thats a bit much for me.
