Not that I can think of, however why not buy a ArcadeVGA card to go with the WG9200. I've done this 2 times and the 2 paired together is a perfect match.

I thought that the entire point of a ArcadeVGA is so you can use it with a normal arcade monitor...

The 9200 is an arcade monitor but its a little abnormal in the fact that it can accept a standard VGA cable from a PC video card... which seems to me, would mean you could use ANY video card with it... am I wrong?  I'm not an arcade monitor expert, but is there a certain advantage to the ArcadeVGA in this case?

You are right!  In my opinion, the Arcade VGA paired with the D9200 is overkill.  Plus, you can't get any of the 25khz games to display in their native resolution.  Why spend $100 when you could spend under $30 and get a Trident Blade T64, or a Matrox Millenium G400 for around $15?  The Arcade VGA card is for people that want to use Mame32 with their D9200, making it easier to run (as opposed to AdvanceMame), but you lose the true 25khz emulation.

For perfect unmatched emulation, make the extra effort and go the AdvanceMame/T64 (or equivalent)/D9200 route.  I just think buying a D9200 and running anything other than AdvanceMame is a waste of money.  AdvanceMame is the only way to harness its full potential.  I mean, if you are planning on running Mame32, why even bother with the D9200 or Arcade VGA?  Save your money and buy a cheap PC monitor instead.

What about buying a 9200 and using a ATI 9600 Pro?  I want to run the newest computer games on my Arcade also.  The Arcade VGA doesn't seem like it would cut it in that regard, nor would those <$30 video cards.  Thoughts?
