Oh boy... I like this board. Thank you again for the warm welcome in the Galaga 88-PCB-Thread.

One of my childhoods greatest memories is playing Track & Field (Hyper Olympics) in the local pub.
I´d love to have one of those machines. Maybe somebody has a spare one hidden in the basement.

Thank you for listening!
Stefan

There is a Hypersports becoming available in the US most probably. Some pics. Don't know price yet.

i was a bit more in the first one... but hypersports would do fine, too. and "oh my god".... those machines are drop dead beautiful. xevious, pooyan.... damn. sometimes the cabs are nicer than the games they were playing.

IMHO replacing the monitor is less work than hooking up all the converters..

i doubt that. have to find one that fits first.

Not trying to push. This one has been on Marktplaats for very long now:

14" with new tube. It's very close to the German border Infact it is only 189 km. from Trier

Just so you have your choices

ok... this looks cool ideed. though 14" is quite tiny...

Ok, it is your choice. Happy gaming.

it is also the choice of my wife.
if it was up to me our appartmend would be packed with dedicated cabs. no bed, no kitchen. just games and pizza service.

....  my problem now ist how to connect ist to vga. anybody with a very simple solution for an absolute beginner?

first, welcome here.

second, there is a simle answer, you can´t  

Galaga´88 is a 15K lowres game, it doesn´t output VGA signals.

The only solution to use it on a VGA monitor is to hook up additional devices, like a cga2vga scaler and a sync splitter. And of course a SLG3000 for the scanlines. You can check out Bencao74´s website for more info about that.

But please don´t use thta equioment, you don´t really want to use a VGA monitor. The game is intended to use with a 15K monitor, so why not hook up one of those?

But to be honest, I am a bit amazed that you thought that you could hook up a Galaga ´88 PCB directly to a VGA monitor! Obviously you didn´t do a lot of research on forehand.

i did no research at all when i bought the pcb but of course I knew that the galaga 88 has no vga-out. i just did not think about it when i found it on ebay and bought it. actually I did send the guy a price I was willing to pay.... and he accepted one minute later. so... there was my galaga 88 pcb.

the reason for me to connect it to vga is simple: i have no other choice at the moment because i have a coctail cab (not a sitdown as mentioned before). i bought this cab with a 60in1 two years ago because I liked its design. it did fit in our appartment and it was a compromise to my wife. she liked it too cause it was a piece of furniture for us. unfortunately it came with a vga-monitor.

 i could of course put a real 15k monitor in it... but that´s something I might to in the future. at the moment I don´t have the time for that. I just want to play that game again with a beer next to me in my livingroom.

so I guess I will go with this little box and the scanline-generator. that will do for me. if i ever have the chance to get my hands on dedicated cabs for my own real arcade i can assure you that I will only go for the real thing.

Hello Tyrem, welcome on DLF!

I have restore my original cab, the thread on dlf you can find here:
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3335.0

heyho... i can assure you... I SAW YOUR POST.
i think it was one of the reasons to get me a galaga 88 pcb. somehow this is my game. it also was one of my first games for the pc engine. i still own it.

Great you got the game, any chance you will show a photo or 2 of your setup? - and welcome here BTW!

Cheers
Michael Trier (yep, thats my name  )

of course I will, Michael. I have to put it in my sitdown cab. it used to run a 60in1 till now... and that leads me to aproblem I did not think about so far... the 60in1 has vga and audio-out. the galaga 88 does not have those features. i guess i will take the sound from the jamma harness... but what about the vga output? a total newbie-question for sure... but is there an easy solution to my problem?

and by the way... what a coinsidence with your last name.

price is not THAT off 

yeah, true. saw that one last night, too. was hoping to get one in europe though... but if the price is okay I´d also buy it from him.
cheers mate!
