hello,
i am trying to put a mame cabinet together. got x-arcade tankstick ordered. next it would be monitor/tv and graphic card. have a few questions.
1. graphic card? i have ultra 6800 and ATI X2400 that i want to use.
i hook up 6800 to lcd - some games look ok but most look graining. lcd is at native resolution something like 1600x1200 (don't remember exact no.). when hook up with 21in. tv thru s-video cable- it look blury and screen kinda messy up with some emulators like makaron and mugen. so my question is what did you do wrong-settings/hookup?
do i need a newer card or arcadevga card like arcade vga 3000 from ultimarc (what benefit from this card)?
2. monitor vs tv vs lcd
i know lcd resolution it too high for most game. what do you guys suggest low cost vs high cost. like i said i have 19in. lcd both wide and standard 4:3, 21 in. tv with s-video, no arcade monitor (if needed, would like one with vga input so can connect to pc)
3. which front end: i like to run mame, neogeo, makagon,dreamcast,mugen and maybe couple pc games.
thanks alot for all the help and comment = try to learn as much as i can. ps. some more questions might come up later.
