Use the original arcade monitor if ya can. It look WAY better than a PC monitor(plus you already have it) It may be a pain at first but read up on it and you will be very happy with it. It just is a lot more realistic. Check out mya page to see how i did it.
: First of all, this is a great board!!!
: I just dove into this hobbie and have a couple of questions:
: I just aquired a Cal-50 cabinet with some guts left inside. I am going to run the system with either an AMD K-6 450 or P133. I also am buying a HotShot Controller board.
: Questions:
: 1 - Why don't I just buy a 19" computer monitor instead of having all the problems I am reading with Arcade monitors?
: 2 - There is a JAMMA board in the machine still. What is it, and do I need to use it for anything(keep seeing things about people modifying them)?
: 3 - I am going to use the spinner controller that was left in the machine. There are 4 wires out of it. How do I wire/convert it to use with the PC?
:
: Any other suggestions for a novice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!
: Thanx!
