![]() ![]() So, I was rewiring everything JAMMA (oh, the joy) to use a Gallag JAMMA adapter and get rid of the old dodgy wiring.ĭuring that process I found out that the adapter I had was incorrect for the video part. Posted in Arcade, Cocktail | Leave a reply JAMMA wiring To be honest, I explored a few options and was hesitant about that, but, it’s a clone so it doesn’t have to a perfect replica of what it was before, and when I saw a gorgeous the image was on the other monitor I was planning to use, there was no doubt it was the right direction to take. I know some people will cringe when reading that, but, it was time to upgrade the monitor to an LCD one. It was OKish on older games like Galaga and Pacman (even tho you could see some colour differences) but definitely not acceptable on newer ones, and the whole point of upgrading to a 412-in-1 was to get access to newer games too. CGA is 15Khz so the image is fine but the issue is, it really is a CGA mode, with a palette of 16 colours. When connected to the VGA output, everything is fine:īut here’s what happens when you use the CGA mode via the JAMMA harness: It’s tiny, it’s got Galaga too, plus 411 other games, it will fit without any issue and connects to the original arcade monitor. Posted in Arcade, Cocktail | Leave a reply 412-in-1 and monitor issues This is how much bigger the new screen is compared to the old CRT! I really like this solution because it didn’t require any dangerous drilling in the monitor case, or uncasing.Īlso, I could simply remove it from the cab and use it as before, although I won’t do that □ The glass on top of it will secure everything in place. I made the lid window bigger and once it’s closed, the monitor can’t move at all! I could then just let the monitor rest on them: One is a bit longer because it had to go across the “pit” where the PSU is: I used the brackets from the old blinds I had replaced during the house renovation (you really need to keep everything -)) to attach those to the bottom of the cab. I measured the thickness of the monitor and cut 2 MDF panels that would be just high enough so the monitor is flush with the lid. Actually I’m not sure I could have, because of that weird stand.īut like I said, the back was symmetrical and it was easy to let it rest on its back with some support, so I came up with this idea: I didn’t want to attach the monitor to the lid of the cab. It is a weird looking monitor, but the bezel is super flat, and the back of it kinda symmetrical and “level”. What I didn’t know was it has a PVA panel with a viewing angle of 178 degrees, which makes it perfect for a cocktail cab! So, I had kept this Samsung 971P monitor for a while in case I needed a 4:3 monitor for an arcade project. ![]()
