here is a pic of the monitor working with my japanese 1FZ board via my supergun. Absolutely gorgeous picture, this ipad camera really doesn't do it justice but it was more convienient to upload them to photobucket with it than getting my SLR Canon out. I'll upload much better pictures later, seriously the picture is amazing! If I can get my other consoles working with it I'll have my own little PVM.

here is a pic of the cable he made me, I asked to have a break away headphone jack cable as this monitor doesn't have speakers obviously. I also have a cable that has a male headphone jack and male Red and White stereo cables. So right now I need a pair of speakers that have a volume control on them, anyone have any good suggestions. probably could find some nice ones online.

Congrats, Cliff! Looks great :)
Any plans for making a new enclosure or are you just keeping it in what it's already in?

I remember someone on shmups forum that did something similar with an arcade monitor but made a wooden enclosure for it and it looked great. I'll see if I can find the post...

EDIT: found it: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 56#p633056

I figured the "NOT FOR HOUSEHOLD USE" sticker referred to the case?

Thanks, now I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head all night :lol:

Sync stripper has arrived and just as predicted it has fixed my problems up, well mostly haha

Saturn, SNES, Genesis, and my Supergun all look magnificent on it.

My Analogue Interactive CMVS unfortunatly has a bit of a darker picture, not bad though just wish it was a tad bit brighter. Talked to Christoph about it and we deduced it was the 75 Ohm resistors he built into the video encoder so I just have to max the brightness on my monitor and live with it.

My RGB modded N64 has absolutely no picture at all and I don't know why, works just fine with my XRGB mini

and my Dreamcast has a scrambled picture, so no TATE dreamcast shmups I'm afraid :(

I'm getting my PCE modded for RGB so hopefully that works with it but so far its looking pretty damn awesome.

I tried posting a pic but seems photobucket is down for maintenance so I'll do it later
