Arcade Monitor To PC
« on: September 20, 2009, 06:26:37 pm »
After a few months of having the same game in my machine I decided to mame the sucker  :laugh:. Turns out I have a Arcade VGA card laying around my house and nobody is using it so I decided to put it to use! Now I have a problem I pulled out my machine to look at the connector on the back of the monitor its like 2 squares together and I have no idea how plug it into the VGA card. Theres no slot for it so I think I need an adaptor for it but have no idea where to buy one from. Thanks for your help!

Those be the power connectors..... You can just get and old vga cable and cut it up.. or get one with an amp form ultimarc http://ultimarc.com/JShopServer/section.php?xSec=2

 The connection you want is right on the monitor chassis

follow where those other wires in that harness go. It will most likely no have a std vga connector .

Instead of going thru the hassle of getting the extra 4 volts that the arcade vga card doesnt supply im better off using a flat screen
