CDI to Jamma?

Post by tlh » Thu Mar 26, 2009 5:33 am

Has anyone ever tried connecting the CDI to a Jamma connector on an arcade? Can this be done. I want to figure this one out, but it seems a bit complex. For example, the arcade monitor is RGB, so I think that you would need to change signal output from SVideo to Component first and then trace the vertical/horizontal sync. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks,,tlh

I have located the rgb signal output on the motherboard, but I am afraid that if I tap here it will bypass the signal out for the optional video card. The main benefit for doing this is too get a pure rgb signal out on a ntsc system. If I can do that, I can wire it to my rgb arcade monitor. Has anyone tried this?
