WG 9200 - Quesions.
« on: October 16, 2004, 06:42:31 am »
Hi guys.

To cut a long story down - I am about to get a WG 9200 27" screen to use in my Mame cabinet (it's the only brand I can get here in Australia)

Now I j have done some research and there is one area I am not sure about.
I know I shouldn't run the unit at 800 x640 - which is fine with me.
The games I am playing range from wonderboy through to MK3. Will all these games be fine on 600x480? and what is ment by high and low res? I have been told that I should run all the games at low res. Would this be correct.
can I hook this moniter up to my 128 video card?

If anyone could point out any issues that I may have with this setup I would be very greatful as these moniters are so $$$$ here.

thanks

Yes, the games you mention are both low res and do not require 640x480.

and what is ment by high and low res?
low res means about 240 lines at 15kHz, high res means 480 lines at 31kHz. There's also medium res, which is about 380 lines at 25kHz.

I have been told that I should run all the games at low res. Would this be correct.
No. It depends what you are running. You want to run vector games in high res. For (most) raster games you want to run in low res or medium res, depending on the resolution you use. Wonder Boy for example is low res while Virtua Fighter is medium res.

Probably, but without knowing the exact brand/chipset of your "128 video card" we cannot tell if your card can output at 15kHz and/or 25kHz.
