After selling my cabinet a couple years back (some may rememeber the Rocketcade), I've got that desire to build yet another MAME machine, this time using an Alien vs. Predator cabinet instead of a homemade one. For my first project, I used the U3100 VGA monitor from Wells Garnder. The cabinet I am looking at currently, already has a 25" arcade monitor that is in very good condition. According to KLOV, these are the specs of the monitor in these machines:
Scan Freq: 15.72 KHz
Scan Period: 63.6
Active Video: 46.9
Video Delay: 11.9
Sync Pulse: 4.7
Scan Line: 456 pixels
Resolution: 336 pixels
Clock Freq: 7.16 MHz
Since I have very little experience interfacing arcade monitors to PCs for emulation use, I was wondering if there would be any games that simply would not play on this monitor. I play everything from the classics to games from the mid-90s.
Also, I plan on using a JPAC to hook everything up. Can someone reccomend a good graphics card that will work with the given monitor specs above.
Thanks for any help you can give me, and have a Merry Christmas!
