I am going to burn my Cab I'm building!!!
BigDaddyE:
No issues when the lcd is attached, works fine.
Rolls vertically and horizontally, with the black bar, which is the edge of the screen, 3/4 or the way, vertically on the screen.
Somebody on here has to have a Nieman CRT and is using an Arcade card... anyone, anyone........
pinballwizard79:
I had TWO of those cards, couldn't get either of em to work on a standard res or medium res monitor even with the "breakout" cable.
Just too much of a PITA, I moved on to the UVC eventually.
I wish I could be more help, it seems like someone posted a good point earlier regarding progressive vs interlaced.......did you talk to Andy about that?
BigDaddyE:
Here's the latest pics, a little better than yesterday, still can't see a whole lot cuz of the flickering back and forth horizontally.
Pinball wiz, I will ask Andy. Rick and Andy are talking behind the scenes, trying to get it to work. I have no idea what you are talking about with your monitors, but it sounds cool!
Eric ???

Fair point of course and I agree with the lack of authenticity, but then the visual accuracy goes pretty much unnoticed to most, and as we build many it helps to be sure of consistency in the components we use - which of course isn't a problem with CRT PC monitors as they operate the same from one unit to the next and require virtually no setting up.
In an ideal world arcade monitors would be plug-and-play, as the obvious advantage is arcade monitors are available in much bigger sizes.

New info:
Bought a voltmeter to measrue hz.
60 hz coming from card.
monitor running at 16 hz.
The card gives me 640 x 480, 32 true color, 59 hz as the preferred. My only other option is default refresh for frequency.
Ideas?
