MAME it.... nooooooo....

[Superully]

that's a nice looking machine - congrats!

[count3rkill3r]

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?

That Game looks absolute mint... I also suggest restore it, no mame! 

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

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

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 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
