JAMMA TEST RIG (tv display or old pc monitor)
hayabusa_fmw:
hey guys
i got a Jamma wired CP
with jamma Adapter
all wired + a Arcade power supply
I want to Hook this up to a TV or monitor
how is it possible?
i would like to test my boards but i can't get image...
(the connector i got is the one used for Arcade monitors)
The thing i would prefer to use a old pc monitor (10 yrs old or 5 yrs old)
I just cut the PC conector of it & skimmed the wires...(but i beleive i will get double image since it isn't the same as a arcade monitor? right?....)
I have an arcade monitor 13'' but... i would need to put an isolation & all those stuff & i don't have space on my desk to do so ect....
spacies:
A tv via the scart plug is a simple solution.
I haven't tried cutting the RGB and sync and connecting through that.
Not sure about the PC monitor. I think there are adpaters for this.

i don't know mine doesn't have it im pretty sure...
never seen it..

NO NO NO!!!! If you try to feed a PC Monitor with a 15Khz signal it will freak entirely! possibly damaging the monitor and the game board that you are feeding it from. You will not get a double image you will get no image at all and probbably some smoking components.
If you are in the UK, Europe or Australia and NZ then you can feed the RGB and sync signals directly into a SCART Plug and feed the TV which is then as good as a real arcade monitor. Because, that's effectively what it is.
If you're in the USA TV's do not have a SCART input, and then you only have two options....
1) Use an arcade monitor...
2) Use an RGB to VGA converter to view it on a PC Monitor.

Another thing that will work that I use to test boards is an old commodore 1084 monitor, they will handle the low res rgb great!
Poke around on craigslist and eBay, I see them from time to time still...
Cheers!
