Hi all, I recently picked up a Sega Astro City. I'm assuming the monitor in it is std rez only, but some sites online claim that some Astros have 15khz/24khz monitors in them. There is a switch on the remote card with the sync pots on it, but flipping it doesn't seem to do anything (I'd expect the picture to go wonky with a 15khz board in it).
Sorry, I don't have the monitor make / model at the moment -- suppose getting those and doing some googling would go a long way -- but I guess I'm mostly just curious if there's a way to differentiate between dual and single res monitors.
Edit: I dug through my manual with my limited understanding of Japanese and, apparently, there's a different connector on the chassis for 24khz -- sweet. I assume it's just a matter of moving the connector from the 15khz slot to the 24khz slot, assuming they don't use different connectors. As soon as I get a screwdriver that'll fit in the screws to my back panel I'll pop it off and take a look.
It would be nice if there was just a switch I could flip to go from 15khz to 24khz (and I assume I could rig something up to do that if I really wanted to), but there are probably reasons to not do this? Anyone have any input?
