Everytime I think I'm getting this cab stuff straight in my head it all goes wrong again.. too much information. I'm sure you've all been through this. Anyways, I'll write pretty much my whole situation and hope to god someone can make sense of it (please please please..). Here we go:
Dell Inspiron laptop (running Windows ME, GeForce 2 go vid card[s-vid, tv outs], usb ports)
2
JAMMA cab (6 buttons per player, arcade monitor)
Need to keep the cab usable with PCBs. Only the connections I need help with (ONLY?), but I could do with lots of it! Any thoughts will do... ArcadeOS seems to be out of the question because of USB..
Beyond all this, if I ever get it done it should be pretty nice, a metal cab with 26" monitor.. I'll find some way to get my laptop to sort of slide in and hide away. I've not seen any examples for this kind of setup so once it's done and I submit it it should be useful to someone as confused as I am now!
Thanks for you patience
