Golden Tee Fore - 2004
----------------------

So I purchased the GNOBES HD-CONVERTER MODEL GBS-8220 to display to my 60" LCD Panasonic.

Good news is that I can at least see the video being displayed to the television, which I couldn't see by simply plugging in the output from the video card to the television. The problem that I have is that the screen is crazy jumpy, all over the place.

From what I read, people had this issue with a lot of different converters when they were trying to use medium resolution. I have an odd issue with my board that I can only use standard resolution, so that is how my board is set via DIP switches. I have tried with DIP switch 1 set to on, and switch number 2 to both on and off, and the result is the same, a jumpy image.

I tried to use the auto configuration button on the converter, and initially it was slowing down the jumping screen, but then the screen basically stopped refreshing all together (image was stuck).

Can someone help me fix this issue? I am hooked to the 5-pin RGB connection on the converter and am connected to the correct R,G,B,Ground,Sync cables from my JAMMA harness.

I have a users manual for the converter if anyone is interested. Apparently it is much to large to attach to this forum.

Please make this thing work. I have invested a ton of time and money creating this arcade cabinet.

Thanks!
 
Here is a link to the exact converter that I am using, apparently this is the same as what many people are calling a YATON. Please help me fix this jumpy image.

So now it doesn't jump anymore, but freezes the picture completely. For some reason, no matter what I do at this point, I can't even make it behave the way it did previously (showing the screen, and playing just very jumpy). I don't really get it.
 
Arent the later Golden Tee's run from a PC? If so, I would think VGA would be possible directly from the video card

Sorry, I should have stated this is a Golden Tee Fore setup, so it is the older machines, not the current LIVE machines.
 
Even so, by 2004 most games were switching to VGA feeding monitors with digital sync circuits (e.g. WG D-series). You sure this game can't do VGA by itself? That's really, really odd if it can't. Pore over the dipswitch documentation a few more times.

I think it would work fine if I could use the medium resolution (EGA) dip switch setting on my machine. Unfortunately, there is something wrong with my particular Golden Tee where when I put it in medium resolution mode, it continues to reboot over and over. If there wasn't that problem, I wouldn't even need to silly converter anyway. Murphy's law I guess.
