VPinball on an arcade monitor

[ckong]

  Hey guys,

Two years ago I build my own mame cabinet (see the pictures in my foto galery on www.poldermame.nl). In it is a normal 21" pc monitor. I don't only run Mame on it, but also Zinc and VPinball.

A few months ago I purchased another cabinet with Jamma wiring, an arcade monitor and a 2 slot MVS Motherboard. Now I can play some orignal PCB and MVS games in it. The games look much better on an arcade monitor then on a pc monitor!

But my rom collection is somewhat bigger and therefore I am thinking to rebuild this original cabinet with the use of an ArcadeVga card and a J-Pac to a PC-driven Mame Cabinet (and have the benefits of a real arcade monitor, which can rotate).

However, Idon't want to give up Vpinball, Zinc, Misfitmame, Pacmame, Noname. Can anyone tell me what the quality of the game images of these emulaors will be on an arcade monitor?

Greetings,

Poldermamer

I play VPinball on an arcade monitor and it looks alright.

Newer games with a lot of toys on the playfield looks a bit messy due to the low resolution but games from the 80's work well.

I play the games at 768x576i which looks much better than 640x480i which is the highest 15kHz resolution AVGA supports.

What's VPinball?

What's VPinball?

It's pinball on a PC.  Great program.  I installed it a while back on my desktop pc and its a lot of fun.  I plan on putting it in an arcade cabinet someday....

A friend of mine has Visual Pinball/Pinmame running in his mame cab, and while the games are larger (25" standard res arcade monitor), it's not 'better.'

I'd be real interested in seeing what it would look like on one of the Happ monitors that display SVGA.
