Title: Will this monitor work with this PCB (general)
Post by: anthony691 on March 26, 2003, 07:55:15 pm

Do you think that my Run and Gun 2 standard CGA monitor I yanked would work with an Arkanoid PCB? I just really don't know. I want to be sure before I shell out the cash.

look on www.klov.com to find out what monitor a given game uses.

They are both standard res (I think), but I was wondering the whole vertical-horizontal thing.

Most vertical game will just display on their side if you put them on a horizontal monitor.   Should work fine as long as you reorient the monitor to vertical.

What do you mean reorient? Turn on its side? Thanks

Yeah, he means turn it on its side.  There is no difference in output of vertical/horizontal, just orientation.

As for the monitor, it should work fine (esp. if both are JAMMA boards, which I assume they are).

Sounds good to me.
