Having video wired wrong wouldn't cause excess heat... The only thing I can think of is that if you put the PC in your arcade cab and its not getting enough ventilation.
: I still havent got my saturn to work so id decided to try and get my pc working on my monitor. To My amzement the horrific cable i put together to do it actually worked.... sort of. Using Advanced Mame I set all my screen resolutions and then loaded up robocop after about 10mins it crashed out, the whole pc froze, so i went to plug my pc monitor back in and then realised that all the components in my PC were practically melting with heat.. ooops. Having checked the PC2Jamma page today the only thing that i can see ive done wrong is not connect a cable from Video Ground to Ground on the Fingerboard is this the reason my pc nearly blew up ???
