I bought a "jamma loom" and it is perfect except for the monitor connector.  I have a MAME cab i built years ago and I am converting to a 60-1 board, it has a arcade resolution monitor I bought from HAPPs in around 2000-2001 that I ran from an ArcadeVGA graphics card.  Anyway, the connector to the monitor board has six wires and six plugs ( a pic of the connector that I pulled from the monitor board is attached if can)....but the jamma loom has a 5 pin connector!

Can I buy a correct jamma loom with the connector I need, or someone tell me  how to wire it up, I can cut and splice the wires if I have to, I was just hoping for the easiest solution.  If I recall reading about this stuff (again years ago), maybe the V and H synch can be combined???

any help appreciated, thanks!

Knowing what monitor you have would be a great help in this situation.

The sticker on the monitor says Vision Pro Model No. MTG 1901CN, I will try to attached a pic, and also a pic of the connector on the jamma loom.

I guess I should cut the Arcadevga cord and use the original 6 pin connector to the monitor, attaching that to the jamma loom in place of the 5 pin connector, but what wires do i connect together to go from 5 wires on jamma loom to 6 on the monitor connector?

Thanks!

That's a Japanese video connector. Definitely NOT American standard.

99% sure you got...

red=red
blue=blue
green=green
black=ground
white=sync
yellow-composite sync

i would hack off that non-standard connector and just put the regular connector on it.

IE match up the colors, i would think the white and white would go together, but you may have to try white to yellow
