Monitor question
« on: July 29, 2005, 12:07:32 am »
Has anyone ever used a Sony PVM-2530?  It has s-video and a bunch of other connections to it, I picked one up cheap $50 and it looks new and plays great.  I am thinking about putting it in my MAME cab and using it.  I thought i would ask here to see what people think about it.  Any info good or bad will be appreciated!

Thanks guys and gals,
Ken

I found another thread about this monitor, and it seems as though i will have to run advance MAME for this monitor.  What my question is can i use the s-video connection and use the advance mame or do i need the rgb conector?  I would like to use the s-video for ease of install.  Also does advancemame run instead of mame32?  and can i use a front end on advancemame like mamewah?  Sorry for all the quesions, i just REALLY want to play GALAGA SOON!!! ;D

Thanks for ANY HELP at all!
