In Reply to: connect jamma board to vga or tv?? posted by Russ Prince on 16, 2000 at 2:54 PM:
: Is this possible? I built a cabinet for mame games with a 21" vga monitor in it. Is it possible to connect a jamma board to the monitor without too much hardware? I know the h-sync is different, but is there a way?
Not without significant electronics betwen the jamma board and the monitor. VGA monitors just aren't designed to sync down that low.
: Also, is there an easy way to hook up a jamma board to a standard tv? If so I could just buy a tv tuner card and get the signal to my monitor that way.
This should be much easier proposition as an arcade monitor runs at more or less the same frequencies as an NTSC TV. Just hook up the r,g,b + sync from your JAMMA board to similar pins on your TV's SCART connector.
: Thanks for any help,
