I am trying to make a hacked VGA Cable so I can plug my Arcade Monitor into my PC. I cut the end off of a Gateway Monitor and here are the color of the wires I have: Red Green Blue Grey Orange White Black Brown Yellow Which ones do I actually need to use (Besides R,G,B) I understand that I...

Thanks for all of the input.......I feel more comfortable knowing I can replace the monitor without the fear of getting Zapped. Or at least not to play with the red wire. The guy lives about 30 miles away, and I will be out that way on Saturday so I thought I'd just pick it up. As far as...

I just bought a used but working Arcade Monitor to replace my old non-working Monitor. They guy I bought the Cabinet from said the monitor stopped working one day, and I estimate the monitor has not been working and sitting there for a couple of years now. My question is.......... Would it be...

Sony PVM 1910 19" Pro Trinitron Video Monitor I have the chance to pick this monitor up for about $150 just wondering if it can do what I need it to do. I want to use it as a MAME monitor in hopes that it will display native Arcade resoultions. I would like connect it directly to my PC video...

Gotcha, so it would be pretty hard to get the specs on this with the info he gave me. I'm requesting a pic of the details close up. He said it came from a working Mortal Kombat cab. I just want to make sure it is an actual arcade monitor and not a VGA monitor. I have seen too many people selling...

I have the chance to pickup an arcade monitor but the only details I have right now is that is a 19" Phillips monitor. I am going to find out more details about this, but I was not aware that Phillips made arcade monitors.I looked online but couldn't find any arcade monitors made by Phillips...

Thanks for the quick reply. To fix the redish color, I would definitly need a cap kit then???

I have a chance to pickup a Street Fighter 2 machine pretty cheap but it has some issues with the monitor. I have a couple of pics, but the quality of the pics aren't that great. The guy who is selling this said it needs a cap kit. He also said that the picture has a redish tint(see from the...

Where did you get the specs from?? I Looked on the Wells Gardner site but could not find anything. If it is VGA/SVGA only that wouldn't that mean that I can't run arcade resolutions on it?? That would make it possible to run Windows resoltions only, making it more like a PC monitor. I just...

I have a chance to buy this specific Arcade monitor, but I would like to know some details on it. He said the monitor was removed from an arcade simulator and comes with 15 pin VGA cable and video adjustment extender. What is a video adjustment extender?? I want to use it for my MAME cabinet...

Does anyone know why an orangish red Hyduken will appear from Ken or Ryu.......If so how do you do it, or is it something that happens every once in a while?? This is one of my all time favorite games, but I could never understand this.

Does this mean the game will still stretch to fill the screen, but just look much better?? Basically how an arcade monitor would work, or would you get the black bars around the picture??

check this out Has anyone heard about the second version of the ArcadeVGA card??? I heard with this card you can plug in regular arcade monitors to the PC and regular PC monitors. The rumor is that you can run games in their native resolution on you PC Monitors now. Does anyone have any...

I am in the process of getting a game board so I can do some testing on this. As of right now when I turn the power switch on I do hear a humming noise. I can't tell if it is coming from the monitor or what. I would assume so since I do not have a game board plugged in. Can I get any useful...

Well the problem is I can't test it because there are no game boards that came with it. He said you could hear sounds but could not see the image on the monitor. Am I better off trying to get a new monitor, or are there ways to get the monitor up and running??? I was thinking of getting a board...
