First, congrats on the new cab. You are half way there. But unfortunally, you have to have patients, and read though as much of this site as possible first before trying anything or buying anything else. Read the "Controls" section for how to hookup a keyboard, or emulate keystrokes from your joysticks. Second, you can't simply hookup RCA Compoiste or s-video to your arcade monitor. If the monitor in your cab is original, then its probably medium res, which means you can only drive it at a certain requency (24kHz I believe) at a specific resolution (something like 600x200). You will have to make sure you buy a graphics card which can output this.
Read through the site first, and ask questions here.

: I'm new at this.
: I have a saega virtua fighter cabnit and I am stuck on getting those little switchs to act as keyboard clicks. tranlation= how in the h@#$ do I hook up the two joysticks(4 little clickers each) and eight buttons plus any other that I will need to add.
: Any suggestions??
:
: I know that you cannot turn a monitor or tv on its side because it will do weird things so how are people spinnin and turnin there's. My cab still has a monitor but some guts are missin so how can I tell if it still works or not and can I hook it up to a video out from a rca or s-cable source if it does.
: thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated if I could spell.
: p.s. I also have old game systems I would be willing to sell.( com 64, 3 nintendos 8-bit ,Atari 600, Atari 2600 , gamegear, clear gameboy, and a super nintendo. and a lot of cool periphials:)
