If it was already built to hold a CRT isn't it just easier to replace that thing?
If it was using an old consumer tube to begin with making that happen for a different one is not that difficult.

Why rush to LCD?

These days, its possible to convert ("mod") almost any old CRT TV into an arcade "monitor" for a cab, with either RGB or component (DVD) inputs. True, that might involve a little soldering, but is all easier than you might think. Then you just setup Groovymame with a compatible video card (cheaper than you might think!).

This would be a significant improvement from the s-video, direct out of video card, that you had before (that would have been all 640x480i I think).

If you choose to take the CRT route I promise to help you / advise for any modding required ;)  If you can find an appropriately sized CRT TV with component/DVD inputs then no modding required, I can sell you a GreenAntz transcoder (cheaper than you might think!) and you just plug it in to get going.

Good to hear from you Old Man.

There were a couple of things I would have appreciated your advise on but I think they'll offend the mame police. Might drop you a PM.

Hope you're well and enjoying life.

Starts off his thread talking about how dead the forum is, immediately gets his feefees hurt, and self fulfills his own prophecy.

Just trying to avoid a silly argument with tossers like you.

However, I did not say the forum is dead. I said this section of the forum gets very little traffic.

On a recent thread questioning whether the forum is dying, I commented  it doesn't help that some of the experts are a-holes looking to slate bods less knowledgeable than themselves.

I believe you fall into this category.

With nearly 11,000 posts one would think you are probably quite an expert in retro gaming, yet all I ever see from you is trolling.

Well, thanks for all the name calling.  Keep editing your post until you get the insult just right.  That’ll show me.

Would you like me to edit my last reply to get my insult 'just right'?
