Ok, I still can't get anything but garbage on my arcade monitor. It is a series of blue lines spaced about an inch apart. Also a thin green line runs vertically down the left side. I have the red blue and green lines going to the coresponding JAMMA pins, the h and v sync twisted together, and the ground, sync ground, and the 3 color grounds all soldered to the JAMMA video pin. I tryed messing with the h and v syncs. I tryed changing the hsync seting in arcadeos. I turned the brightness up. All I gotten for a whole days worth of work is the same garbage on the screen, and now sound does not work in arcadeos.

I have tryed reinstalling arcadeos and mame. I even tryed reinstalling my soundcard drivers. Still, arcadeos boots with no sound. I change sound = 1 in the .cfg. I change the sound to soundblaster in the default configs. When I load a game, it dumps to arcadeos and says to choose a card. I go back and choose soundblaster (it is still selected but I select it again). THe game loads/plays fine with sound, but when I exit back to arcadeos, my computer restarts. Also my mame.cfg is becoming corupted. Instead of being listed neatly, it is listed in two long lines with black squares replacing returns. Its crazy. I know this isn't a simple thing to do but sheesh! Thank god you guys are here.

Anyways, I was thinking it may have something to do with my monitor being a Japanese model. I don't know the exact specs, but it is a Nanao. All the knobs are under the control panel. I have figured them all out except for a little switch labled SS SW. It goes from A to B. It may be the switch for medium/standard resolution. I have a JAMMA PCB I have been using to test with, and flipping the switch only makes it get a little brighter. Any ideas? Anyone have their arcadeos.cfg and mame.cfg for download? Or would that even help? THanks for any help you can give!
