Title: Ms Pacman/Galaga reunion with LCD monitor
Post by: yks104 on August 23, 2014, 11:58:52 pm
I have a JAMMA reunion board and wanted to put it in a bartop setup. However it looks like it's only compatible with a standard arcade monitor. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

There are arcade monitors to vga or even tv options. There are also a lot of lcd flat monitors which accept a arcade monitor signal. You might not get 100% authentic scanlines, but it will show your game. Seeing as they used one in the actual anniversary cabinet as well.

the cheap CGA to VGA converter will work fine for your project.
