Is there anyway to use a SVGA/VGA monitor on a Jamma CGA cabinet? If so what would I need to convert the signal?

Thanks!

Thanks Again!! One Day I will have a Project to contribute to this site!! :)

Right now I am a newbie with limited funds trying to make sure that I get the result that I want without wasting alot of money learning, figured it is much cheaper to ask a bunch of questions & read post, then ask more questions that arises as I read other post.

Thanks!!

Yes, but you will need a scan converter.
