I invited the builder/seller to come along for a friendly discussion of cab design but no word yet.

Setting up a old pc for mame etc atm. If i bought a gpu with svideo out would it work fine on a sony triniton crt tv? It has an svideo input. Don't like how the image looks on my lcd I do have another spare gpu but it only has hdmi and dvi outputs

Not sure if this helps but on my radeon HD48xx only displays in black and white from the svideo.
Maybe I've the wrong cable :pac:.
I think there's a thing called crt emudriver you can use.

You might be outputting in NTSC instead of pal

Couldn't see an option to change that.
The TV can do NTSC if its via RGB scart with consoles , can't do it over composite though, weird.

There is no such thing as NTSC or PAL when it comes to RGB...

RGB is simply the RED, GREEN, BLUE video signals and the sync signals which can be 50Hz or 60Hz.

PAL & NTSC are encoding standards where the 3 colours and sync signals are all mushed together on 1 wire.

The reason you get a black and white picture with composite is that the TV doesn't understand the colour encoding standard being used but can figure out the sync signal.

The only way to get a black and white picture with RGB is to connect the 3 colour signals together.

Would it be possible that the SCART port being used isn't RGB SCART, and is just a composite SCART port perhaps?

Very likely alright. A lot of TVs with multiple SCART sockets only support RGB on one of them, the others are S-Video and Composite only.

As well as the RGB video signals you also need to supply 1V or more to SCART Pin 16 to tell the TV to select RGB mode otherwise it assumes the signal is composite and uses the composite video signal.

Some consoles with poorly made RGB cables may not supply this signal to Pin 16.

Nice evening of gutting a tv.

DIY bracket will be on show tomorrow.

Anyone tried one of these: UMSA - Ultimate SCART Adapter

http://arcadeforge.net/UMSA:::15.html

Or would something like this suffice?

Your Aero looks minty now. Well done dude. You can come out and clean mine next

See a guy has hacked an MVS to output over hdmi

http://hackaday.com/2015/02/13/hdmi-audio-and-video-for-neo-geo-mvs/

Now I know an MVS should really be displayed on a crt but this is impressive none the less.

eddhorse

Bracket making for monitors is a pain in the hole.

Lads, where'd be the best spot to get some cables and spade connectors to make a kick harness daisy chain? Really have to get the thumb out and get SF2 running!

You'll get them in Halfrauds if you're only after a few,
you'll also get bent over.
Bring a button with you and do a test fit.

Think they were linked here recently. Amazing looking yokes but for the price, just buy a proper candy.

Looks a little like a simpler version of Deathsmiles.
At least that's what the biomechanical horror theme reminds me of.

Stolen from another board, this is pretty much perfect for me.
