...but check your blue input. Make sure the connection is still secure. It may seem counterintuitive, but if the monitor is not getting a blue signal, it can appear "overwhelmingly" blue.

I know what you're thinking: there shouldn't be *any* blue, right? Essentially, the monitor does not have any instructions "where" to put blue, therefore blue is everywhere.

: Hi,

: This weekend, I connected everything in my cabinet together, and fired up arcadeos with incabinet=1.

: The first thing I saw was a messed up picture, scrolling heavily. So I adjusted the v-pos, v-hold and
: v-height (to it max) until it was stable and not scrolling anymore.
: However, this picture:
: A) is just blue, no other colors, and very unsharp, i.e. I can't read anything.
: B) is way to small (approx. 1/4 of my monitor-size)

: When I go to mame (by pressing random game): again a messed up-scrolling screen.

: I looked through the config-file, and found the
: scan_h and scan_v settings. Dunno what these mean, but in MAME, there are such alike settings too, so now I'm wondering:

: Do I have to adjust these settings (both ArcadeOS and MAME), do I have to check the wires (blue colors only) or maybe is it something else ?
