Well I am not totally sure if you do a real pc2jamma conversion... I just cut the end off of a standard vga connector and soldered the correct wires from the cable that went to the monitor.
you need r,g,b,grnd,vsync,hsync. Go here to see...

Then just send a signal that is arcade compatable and WOOWOO!!! it works... at least it did for me.
You might have to fiddle with the v-hold and h-hold but it should work.

Hope that helps some anyway.
: upon hunting around on the net, i read about someone using a VGA-RGB cable w/ 5 BNC(coaxial) connectors to hook up there monitor.So is it safe to say you could plug one end into computer, and the other end to the arcade monitor and run Mame w/ the -ntsc option.(providing you didnt use the fingerboard method and went straight from the computer to the monitor.)I am using a Voodoo3
: 3000 AGP w/tv-out.Do you know if this is an ideal card? Thanks for your time.
