TV in MAME Arcade

[guarapo66]

did you usted soft15hz ? how does it look with a tv?

[TheGangVideos]

we're trying to hook a tv to computer for emulator use.but we cant find a VGA to RCA cable

[jackmarshak]

go to newegg (.) com but keep in mind, not all video cards support it. VGA to RCA get low ratings because people don't realize that only a handful of cards will work. I suggest picking up a cheap video card with TV out from ebay. I got one for around $10 including shipping and it works great for all my emulators. Actually building a MAME cabinet now for my 27" TV using that card with an older PC.

Use a video card that has s-video.

I tried hooking up an old tv using the RF modulator and it looked like shit. so i just ended up getting a tv that already had s video built in it.

why tv? you can go to any surplus store and pick up a 27 inch computer monitor for 5 bucks, the old style anyways

[Pervypriest]

@TheVintageGamer Because a Tv is basically an arcade monitor, you will get the smoot colourfull graphics from an arcade monitor. A pc screen is too sharp and run at the wrong refresh rate..

So a crt Tv is an great way of adding arcade realism to your mame cabinet..

Highly recomended, I did that a few days ago and wow. What a huge difference

[strijkie143]

how do you get full screen on your tv. I get bars on the sides and on top and below of my screen when i use s-video cable. please help me out!!!!!!!

[chaosmutt]

the monitor looks big for 20", mine is 27" and it looks about that size

[trixster6d9]

you should try maximus arcade frontend, i love it, I use it my custom built arcade check it out!

[adidas1984x]

can you make a video of how its all hooked up and the view of the inside of the cabinet

[amiga2000]

are you using gameex? what do you think of it now that you've had it running for months?

[Incito]

I like it. There are several different themes you can download and choose from to compliment your arcade's style. Good amount of support too.

[sntsa]

can you make a tutorial on installing the tv to the computer

[Incito]

We'll do.
