Now, if you plan to use a PC monitor, then you can ignore the video-on on the JPac and things will be fine.

If you want to use an arcade monitor, then you will need to connect your monitor to the JAMMA harness a video card that can drive the arcade monitor (standard arcade monitor runs at 15Khz, standard PC monitor at 31Khz) and will plug your VGA cable into the video-in on the JPac.

More info can be found in the wiki and the Monitor forum.

NOTE: The JPac has spots to connect buttons 4-6 (which aren't part of the JAMMA specification, so not on the harness), so don't worry about that.

Cheers.

thanks guys for your input.  

one last question, how big of a differnce would the video be for an arcade monitor vs a tv?  are arcade monitors easy to come by?
