Technical Area / Re: Crash Course - How to use a TV for monitor.
« on: April 09, 2010, 11:22:32 AM »
Looking at the images explaining what to connect to which pins on the scart connector - I'm not quite sure how to make a test setup with a TV for my Centipede board.

The pinout is as follows:

There are no Red/Green/Blue grounds mentioned in this pinout table. Is it just connecting the RGB and the composite sync from the board and it's a done deal?
Maybe the Video return pin on the board has to be connected somewhere?

I'm sorry to bring up an old post - but it seemed relevant for my question.

Arcadeflyers have the flyers for it.

As for books, I can recommend "The ultimate history of video games". Not only arcade related, but a lot of it is - and it's good reading.

Yes, he just used the pictures of Crazy Kong from klov.com - it would be nice to see some pictures of the cab he's selling.

Hey Michael. Thought I would join this forum too, instead of just lurking around as an unregistered user.

Great you godt the TV Issue fixed. I did read about entering the service menu on a LG TV just requiring pressing either "menu" or "ok" on the TV and remote at the same time.

Isn't there a model number on the case of the TV, or on the chassis itself?

Some TV's need a dedicated service remote to enter the service menu, and others need only a specific sequence of button presses on the normal remote.

The overscan and possibly the centering deffinately needs to be adjusted a bit on that TV - but it shouldn't be a problem, when first gaining access to the service menu.
