do you think that the red cut off on monitor is too high?  at the end of the video you can see how low red is bleeding into the black.  Does that game offer a monitor test screen?  A pic of that might help.

hi all

i was wondering if we could start a thread for electronic parts.  other than the typical cap kit.  for instance, if i need a cap thats not in the cap it or need a potenitometer, or resistor or diode, where do i go.  I would like this thread to contain info like that.    All respond with great links to sites with parts.

thanks

www.mouser.com the only place I ever buy stuff from. IMO mouser is far easer to use than digikey.
also www.greatplainselectronics.com for some other hard to get stuff mouser does not carry

hi all

i have looked in the manual and it states that the monitor will accecpt a 15k signal, but doesnt exact spell out how to do so.  Anyone have an idea how to do that.  Pics or a simple instructions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

well here is a long story made short.  Gotta games family 3000 in 1 system.  it spent more time in shipping going back and forth from where i bought it than actually working. hence the headache.  HD works, system says hardware issue.  so with my frustrations i was hoping to find a simple xxxx in 1 card to plug in.  I have looked into building a mame since at that point i would know how to build and trouble shoot the issue.  The HD from the Games family works.  So i have all the ROMS but the intimidating part is setting up hyperspin and all of the other software that goes with it.  The tutorials are not up to date.  So building a mame is somewhat intimidating without a guide.  if there is a complete up to date step by step tutorial out there, let me know  i would be a very happy camper.

thanks

thanks  i was thinking that mame would be my only solution.  i was hoping for an easy fix

hi all

i am looking for a xxx in 1 card.  but here is the catch.  i would like to play both vert games and horizontal on the same system.  I have a 25" med res horizontal monitor. Oh and it should be able to work on a med res monitor.  all the ones that  i have seen state hor or vert monitor.  and usually standard res.  is there maybe another piece of the puzzle that i need? 

thanks
