yep all colours on screen are fine.  the game's Zero Wing and the cabinet is a generic Video Master cab.

I hope everything is ok coz i've just ordered a jpac and arcade vga card.

presumably it must be wired up correctly (to the jamma standard) if it's working properly?

i'll have to have a nother look at it tonight and take a photo if neccessary. i dont see how it could work if it's not wired up right

Why not follow the video connector wires from the monitor back to the board?

That's highly unlikely. It would defeat the purpose of being a JAMMA game.

This might sound like a dumb quesiton, but... are you sure you're looking at the right side of the edge connector? After all, there's a component side and a solder side. If it's not labeled on the harness, you can tell by the "key". The key is the plastic piece on the harness that only let's you install it one way. Are you sure it's not just wired fine and you just have everything flip-flopped in your head?

Ha ha, interesting 1st post!

Heres another:



Just found out that Doh! is in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED)!

Quote:

"Expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned, or that one has just said or done something foolish. Also (usually mildly derogative): implying that another person has said or done something foolish.

:end quote

Yep, about sums it up really  ;)
