Remember, VGA signals will damage an arcade monitor. You can use a frontend and/or Mame settings to get around this. I am getting all the parts together to build the LPT port switch Brian details on his PC2Jamma site. He has instrux for the cable too. Just remember don't turn on the arcade monitor with a straight VGA signal!

ATI seem to be a popular choice for Video cards. I am going with one of the Xpert models.

: Anyone make an adapter to go from VGA(pc) to an arcade monitor or do you have to make your own cable?

: Any help would be appreciated!!!! I woul als like to know what video card is recommended.
