Title: How should I connect a XX-in-1 board to a TV
Post by: Well Fed Games on July 04, 2014, 11:48:19 am

So I'm considering a budget build using a vertical multijamma PCB and a 27" CRT TV that has composite, S-video, and component inputs. The PCB would have both VGA and regular arcade RGB outs. I know a converter will be involved and there are a few different ways to make it happen, from a $30-ish converter to S-video to an $80-ish JROK component converter.

So, what kind of setup would/did you go for in such a build? #1 priority is something that will not need to be tweaked once the build is on site (likely in my brother-in-law's garage).

Also, my search-fu is weak on this one so feel free to link threads that already address this that i missed. I assume this takes me into "supergun" territory and I am a little hazy on all that.
