    Yeah got the room done finally! Slapped an 19 inch in to play Mame on. Got it on a Temp table til I can get a swing arm for it. I complete my Mame Collection I have every fucking Arcade game I could find.







    Few cosmetic touches and it will priceless. Not sure if I want to build an Arcade cabinet or not. Damn my wife for taking the bigger spare bedroom!

    Just curious, but why did you buy a 16x10 widescreen for playing arcade games?

    Or... Are you talking about the CRT in the picture?

    If that's the case, yeah - build a cabinet, then send me dvd-r's of all your roms. ;)

    Coincidentially, as I now see that you're using a CRT computer monitor (and not the TV, as I originally thought) for your games, might I suggest a video card that supports NTSC output, and a cheap CRT TV that has A/V or S-Video inputs? You'll find that the monitor you're using right now has a higher resolution than all of the games you're playing on it, and you're going to notice a bit more 'edge definition' than on a standard raster monitor.

    Get yourself a TV set and you're in business. (unless that doesn't bother you, in which case, go right on wit' yo bad self.)

    The CTR is only for Mame. As I have a Graphics card with all of the above. The LCD is for the 360 and PC games. The old arcade games look like shit on the LCD. Well because it's wide and lower res look like shit.
