@JoJoRockets52 (xatzis5000) unfortunately the monitor was to old and had washed out colors so i can't tell if the board provides perfect picture. i suggest it though, because its a cheep way to hook up an arcade monitor to a pc...

@xatzis5000 how well did it work?
-
@JoJoRockets52 I did, you must connect the monitor to the RGBS output with the 5 pins.
has some on screen options to adjust to.

@xatzis5000 did you ever try this?

looks pretty illaborate.

Thanks for this video (very helpful). I went out and got the ArcadeVGA card and wired the monitor to connect to it. No problemo. But now how do I get the monitor to have power? I still have the transformer and powersupply in the cab but since I disconnected the PCB it no longer turns on. Any info is really appreciated.
Hi, awesome cab....
I have an arcade monitor and i want to connect it to my pc, i couldn't find an agb vga arcade card so i order a VGA to RGBS/CGA/AV/S video converter found on ebay
it claims to convert vga 31khz to cga 15khz...
Do you think its gonna work propperly???

Hello. Thanks for this informative video. I'm looking at creating my own mame cabinet. I'm also a total noob with electronics. Does the amp power the monitor also or does the monitor still require being powered by the cabinet's power supply?

@mandobear The monitor is power from the cabinet's power supply. All the amp is for is to boost the 1volt input signal to 5 volts for a brighter, better picture.

Question: it looks like the vga breakout cable goes from the computer to another vga breakout cable?, couldn't use just use a male to male vga cable to go from pc to the volt amplifier without having the splice under that tape? or are those two different types of cables? what type of VGA is that coming off the volt amplifier?

@sparky1821 The amplifier takes the 15Khz vga input and converts it to 15khz rgb output while amping the 1 volt from the video card to 5 volts. The cable appears hacked up because I used the same cable for a different project in the past and had to splice it all back together, but essentially you are correct.
