powering monitor, marquee and coin door

<< < (2/3) > >>

subedriver:
Will just be doing mame with it.  So can I leave the power supply in there to power the marquee and coin door lights?  Now on hooking up the jpac I need to splice into a monitor cable and tap into the rgb and sync and ground of the monitor?  My jpac came with a monitor cable that i assume goes from the jpac to the cpu but then how do i connect it to the monitor?  Sorry for all of the silly questions

SirPeale:
The JAMMA harness is already connected to the monitor.  When you connect the PC to the J-PAC it will send the video signal to the monitor.

The marquee *should* be a florescent fixture, which doesn't go thru the power supply.  You'll have to disconnect the power supply, without a load it'll burn up.  If you want to power your coin door lights, tap it from the PC power supply.

I read through ultimarc's page last night and figured thats what i did with the jpac.  Yes the marquee is fluorescent.  Will get coin door power from the cp power supply like you suggested.  Should get my video card tomorrow so will see how it goes.  I'll just remove the power supply from the cab.  Don't want it to burn up.

Please stop PMing me questions, this is what the forum is for.

If you have a split screen then you don't have a 15KHz signal going to the monitor.  Double check your Soft15KHz settings.

sorry bout the pming.  i pulled the 31khz jumper off and the screen stayed on and the leds stayed lit on the jpac.  so i'm assuming that it is outputting 15khz correct?  The jpac has the red,green and yellow leds lit on it.
