Ultimarc ArcadeVGA 5000 & J-PAC Jamma Interface | eBay
All cables included to link the two devices. Super easy way to interface a PC to an original arcade machine. These cards are hard to find as they have been discontinued for years. This is the latest version of this card as well.

Oh wow, had no idea they quit making those. Thought CRTs were still a thing (so much better than LCD).

I collect arcade games and mame does not play right on a LCD monitor
You can buy a second hand video card and patch it yourself using ATOM-15. It will patch most AMD cards using the ATOMBIOS platform.

FS Parts: - ArcadeVGA Ultimarc
I have two of these brand new, never used. Maybe someone needs one as a spare or for use on a Windows XP/7 machine build. Not worth the drama - will sell elsewhere. Sorry, I edited the price to $65. I thought I paid less for these when I bought them. I just found payment transaction. Sill...

Don't do it!
Just spend $15 -$50 on one of (the many) compatible AMD GPUs and download CRTEMU drivers for free and use Groovymame.
I stopped using my arcadevga card ages ago because they aren't very good. They limit the number of modes meaning there are tons of games that you can't play at the native res and refresh rate.
If you change the refresh rate on old sprite based games you create problems like lost shadow effects and screen tearing.
Groovymame automatically selects the correct native res and refresh rate for each game and generates modes on the fly. It means you end up spending more time playing and far less time messing around with settings...
It also gives you the option of using far higher spec and more recent GPUs so you can use your PC for other emulators.
Dolphin (Wii) and Dreamcast / Naomi emulators require a far better GPU than an arcade VGA card...
