v-hold and arcade VGA
« on: October 16, 2008, 12:01:17 am »
I just got my ArcadeVGA  card, While hooking it up I noticed the harness to my arcade monitor did not have a wire coming from the vertical sync position. I decided to go for it anyways and the screen will not stop scrolling. I tried connecting the vertical sync wire but it did not do anything either. Does anyone know why this is happening?

You monitor probably has a vertical hold control that needs to be adjusted.  What model of monitor do you have?

What monitor is it?

Are you using a VGA breakout cable?

Not sure exactly what kind of monitor it is, but I figured it out. It seems the cable was simply missing the v-sync wire. Not sure why or how, but I managed to make my own breakout cable with the proper connector and voila! Now I need to figure out why the picture is larger than the screen. Also, I can see horizontal lines on the picture that should not be there.

Thanks anyways!

You're a model for newbies everywhere. Good show. Now for image scan, you can look at my sig for direction.

Yup, sounds like you still need to adjust the monitor itself. Some good ol' fashion tweaking.
