Thanks for the link Chuck. I had run into Bob Roberts for the cap kit but missed that page. Jaz, no need to worry as I'm certain it's my monitor because..... IT'S DEAD NOW! :lol: I tried a tip to press sw301 on the chassis here at arcadecontrols.com . After doing that, the monitor wouldn't turn on a...

Thanks Matt, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.

I've installed the ArcadeVGA card and put the original monitor back into the machine. When I do this, I cannot get the picture to fill up the screen horizontally once NuCore starts. The BIOS and Ubuntu status screens fill the monitor edge to edge. I have adjusted the horizontal size controls as much...

I got mine from a 3rd party distributor via Ebay with Bing.com cashback, otherwise I would've gone straight to Ultimarc. It's the only, as far as I know, distributor for Ultimarc products in the US. He also posts at arcadecontrols.com. Took a few weeks to get here. Wasn't Pinball Life originally pla...

The ArcadeVGA does display at the proper levels, and it looks just as it did with the original hardware. I'm looking to get a little bit of an extra boost with the amp to put it closer to the color/brightness levels the LCD was at.

Unfortunately the LED backlit Dell G2210 is not the solution for poor LCD black level. I gave it a shot and it was only marginally better than the Dell E2209W I was originally using. Not recommended if you want the proper black levels. Yesterday my ArcadeVGA card finally came in, and so the original...

Eric, All LCDs will show the blueish background since they are not capable of blacks like a CRT is. LCDs have a backlight that is always on, which then bleeds through the screen. I did test a LED backlit LCD, and while it did show some improvement, the blacks were still not good enough. I plan to po...

I'm pretty sure that the G2210 uses the same shell as the e2209w I was using, which is slightly curved in the back but not enough to be a problem.

NOS glass, must be picked up from Illinois Pinball in Bloomington, IL. See this post on rec.games.pinball for details: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/browse_frm/thread/a721763f0f976ecf I'm in SoCal and thus out of luck unless someone would like to make some extra money shipping me ...

I've tried everything I can think of to get an acceptable image (to me) from my LCD monitor but have decided to move back to the original 19" CRT. Anything I used to tint the screen would reduce the color saturation too much, and the monitor outline could still be seen. I really like the flat i...

Count me in for one.

Thanks for the help. I found the pixel clock settings on my monitor after switching over to VGA from DVI (the motherboard I bought has both). I've dealt with Powerstrip before on the Windows side for custom video settings so I'm not new to the concept but it is a pain, especially with no nice GUI. G...

In regards to the perceived speedup I'm seeing, I was able to find a video online to compare to. Go to 4:50 in the video to see the Bonus Wave Multiball intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaTCsNek9A8&feature=related Then I took this video (via iPhone) of my game's Bonus Wave intro: http://www...

Thanks Eric, that's what I thought it could be. I used "alsamixer" to set the volume levels as you said and that helped increase my headphone volume. I've got a few more impressions after playing around for a bit longer: Is it possible for it to run too fast? I feel like some animations ar...

I'm up and running, at least somewhat! I hacked together a mount out of wood for the LCD monitor and stuck the computer on top of the cabinet to get the system running. The game plays perfectly (I only have RFM) as was expected. I'm running an Intel system with a E7400 2.8ghz processor. NuCore repor...
