MAME it.... nooooooo.... :'( :'( :'( :'(

that's a nice looking machine - congrats!
-
yes i'm going to mame it because i have no other choice
the monitor is not working anymore the power supply is dead i think no pcb inside
so its mutch easier to put an pc in it and mame it with a ton of games

Don't use a computer monitor. You'll easily found a TV of the same size of the original monitor, and via the scart connector and advance mame, you'll have an accurate arcade picture quality.
Does KIII has a jamma loom by the way, or does it is a dedicated wiring inside?

I was a dumbass and traded away my KI, which was mint! :-\

yes i'm going to use an tv for the cabinet and will do it via scart
the cab is whole original wired inside

my cab is almost finished
but i have a question i got a TV +-25"(hitachi) (not an arcade monitor)
i connected it via S-video to my pc but the picture is not over the whole screen and on this tv are no potmeters to change the screensize
is there an option to make the screen bigger?

You've got two options.
- When using some ATI graphic cards, you may have an 'overscan' option in the display setting windows. Just check this one and it will solve your problem.
- Try to find the 'hidden' technician menu of your tv, and you should have access to the geometry settings.
PS : S-Video is not the best signal to uses for displaying games on TV :ghost: You should try the AVGA card into scart connector for an optimum picture quality (RGB power :) )

i have a ati card
i know that s- video is not the best
but it looks better than i thought
