I've had one these and they are pretty decent. They usually need you to switch a jumper on the monitor's chassis. I'm not entirely familiar with all GT cab games and monitors though - you don't want a medium res only, or VGA only for your Crisis Zone needs.ĭual res 29" monitors are also out there (many sega games, like house of the dead). These monitors are great - you can do so much with them. A buddy of mine got a couple of GT games in non working conditon, but the monitors worked and he is putting one of the monitors in a candy cab he has. Some of the newer Golden Tee type games that I've seen have the coveted Tri-sync monitor that does low, medium and high resolution AND some of them do a switch automatically. Here - just bite the bullet and spend $150. If you were talking about replacing a vector monitor in a tempest cab after you necked the monitor and had PCB issues anyway - I'd say MAME the hell out of that and get a 19" 4:3 LCD monitor instead of spending $400 for a new monitor and $250 for a working PCB. $22 - Chinese Converter off e-Bay (cheapest I could find)

$20-$40 - Mounting plus wood (cheap $20-$30 LCD mount plus wood & nails, etc.) You can get a 22" though, but that's way too small. Even if you talk someone on CL down, they aren't going to let one go that cheap. Thankfully, I didn't alter my cab too much to where it didn't fit.Īlso -you're not going to really save that much to make an LCD work : Then, the picture had artifacting and lag, and I found a 29" a couple weeks later for a reasonable price, which worked out way better. I could not fit a 26" LCD into my 29" cab, and all the jimmy-rigging to make it work made it look ghetto. Replace that CRT with a LCD w/ converter and it probably will look pretty ghetto, picture will be okay at best and it will not play as good. Replacing it with an LCD will do NEITHER.

I'm not one to really care about keeping a game original - so long as it looks good and plays good, I say who cares. I've tried to do a similar thing to what you are doing - and let me tell you - just buckle down and get a 29" CRT. If it did happen to output a reversed video, there would have to be a reverse video dipswitch or setting in the service menu. It almost certainly had the yoke wires reversed like every other game of this style. Though I am 99% sure that it doesn't output a reversed video. You will need a converter to change the 15k standard res signal coming from your board to a 31k signal compatible with an LCD monitor. Crisis Zone is standard resolutionĪlso, your Hong Eun mp-29a monitor (which is what many of these shipped with - yours probably did too) is also standard resolution. The Namco Super System 23 has a DB-15/VGA-style connector, but DOES NOT put out 31k.
