Thanks for sharing your experience with these converter boards, Mike! Some of these things would have not have been easy to figure out, so I appreciate your willingness to put a video together and share. 😃
Thanks Mike. This is one of the best step-by-step instructional videos on using these converters. I have been using one on a slot machine for a few years and it works great. I tried one on another machine unsuccessfully. Now I suspect the clamp settings were the problem. One other note, these converters can misbehave if they don’t have enough amperage, Im surprised the 800mah wall transformer worked.
Great video. Converting my first one and after seeing this fixing the other 3 that “someone” didn’t finish setting up correctly. 1 game jumps other 2 are pink lol. Thanks so much for this!
I'm #160 like... I was leery to try but now I'm going ahead with this. Worth it. I can try the modifications suggested for WiFi and clearing up artifacting later. Just get this going might be all I really want! Thanks again.
Sir, thank you for this vid, it helped me troubleshoot an issue with the converter,Also the full breakdown of the converter itself is very informative! Thanks!!
I've watched a few of your videos and this one just got me subbing. I've been trying to resurrect a troublesome K7000 from a MK2. I'm getting close to condemning the K7000 chassis and slapping in a GBS8200 I have laying around. I had no idea about the MK1 and vertical position or probably would have even thought about it.
Don't do it. The MKs look horrendous on lcd using this converter. It doesn't show in the vid, but trust me, you'd be way better off sending the chassis to someone who can fix it (or getting a working replacement) than downgrading to lcd on this game.
I know you posted a while ago but very helpful vid! I have two questions 1) I installed the vga /rbg adaptor .my cab has a perfect solutions switcher. Silver strike works fine but Golden tee complete. has a jumpy screen . What can I do to fix this? Do I have to adjust the clamp settings? Put in a Resistor? Any other setting change? Not sure 2) this was happening before the adaptor board instal. I’m having issues with the sound on silver strike. Very low and makes a weird noise at times. Any tips on how to fix? Is there a wiring harness loose somewhere? Thanks in advance
Another great video! I don't deal with medium resolution monitors much, so first I've heard of "clamps." What is the clamp for and are there any references I could read about?
Great video. On a slightly different subject I have a monitor with a broken flyback that is unobtainium... was wondering about replacing the chassis with one from aliexpress... have you tried one of those?
Great video Mike! Definitely saving this one for future reference. Question, do you have any knowledge on running an arcade PCB to a PC VGA CRT or a TV CRT? I have several arcade PCB's but not enough arcade monitors. I do have however plenty of VGA monitors & TV's-with various inputs (and all CRT's which I like better) that I could use. Any help along these lines would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks! You can use a VGA CRT just fine. You’d still need to use this converter but it would work the same as the LCD. As for using a commercial TV that you don’t want to RGB mod, you can get one of these… m.aliexpress.com/item/2251800316533125.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt
@@duncamon1234 don't go to composite, the quality will be horrible. Your arcade machines should work great with one of these 8200 boards. In my experience (CoCo 3 RGBA, not arcade but similar) RGBHV would not work, so I combined the sync signals with 1n914 diodes and it works great!
Great video ! I have a fast and furious I’m trying to convert and I’m stumped trying to figure out how to connect the monitor to the vga converter itself, while also also connecting the vga that is connected to the computer monitor in the cabinet. Is there anyway you can show how the monitor itself gets connected to all of it.
If I’m not mistaken, that game is native VGA output. You shouldn’t need the converter. All you need to do is just run a VGA cable from the computer to the LCD/LED monitor.
Hello. I’ m looking for a D-sub 9 pin to VGA 15 pin converter. I need to replace an old CRT monitor on a old wheel/tyre balancer machine with a flat SAMTRON LCD monitor (VGA 15 pin connector) in a mechanic's workshop. The signal that comes out from the wheel balancer machine is a 9 pin connector with the following: 1-Ground 2-NC 3-Red 4-Green 5-Blue 6-intensity 7-NC 8-H-sync (grey wire) 9-V-sync (white wire). I don't know if the original signal is CGA. Maybe it is. Do you think that this "GBS 8200 CGA/EGA To VGA Converter" is the right converter for me? I can see that you have connected RGB wires, Ground wire and only one sync wire. Where the signal is coming from? An old PC with a 9 pin conncetor? If I buy this converter, where do I connect the pin # 6 (intensity)? Or it's not needed? Thank you. Best regards from Portugal.
A buddy of mine picked up Golden Tee 2005 and no signal. Noticed the small interface display bored CGA/EGA is fried. Can see at least three small diodes cooked. Would doing this conversion be beneficial with a vga monitor setup be the best way to go? Great video
I've got one similar to this only its vga to cga, for thier price they are decent enough it allows me to use my pc on my big blue cab and have some sega games running from a model 2 or 3 emulator on a crt, for the most part it works very well but you need a decent quality graphics card and cga cable or the picture will look blurry.
Hi there Mike. Great video. You have cleared up a few tings for me. Just got one question. I am using the converter on an Arkanoid (original Taito board). All seems to be fine except the picture is just a tad bit unstable. Slight wobbling on the screen (VGA Computer monitor). When the Vaus moves and the ball is in motion there is a jerky left-right movement on screen instead of the ball following a perfect vector and smooth. Any help is greatly appreciated!. Pete
Thanks. Try connecting a second VGA cable to the converter’s VGA pass through (input) as a dummy connection to add a little extra resistance on the sync line.
I've got a California Speed I'm converting, I've noticed the image is pretty jumpy also. Is it unusual to have to add the resistor to a newer game like that?
Thanks a lot Mike! Many forums on Golden Tee 2005 say that the GBS8200 will work on some and not on others of the same config. They were running into the same problem I had, very erratic screen or no signal. Your video fixed it for me, I was ready to send it back. One quick question, my color starts out fine but starts to fade slowly. Any suggestions?

@MikesArcadeMonitorRepair thank you so much, will this output the 25khz I need to hook up to the monitor automatically or is there some sort of set up I have to do?
No. It will only work for 15khz standard res monitors. My apologies. There is no way for you to use a medium res 25khz arcade monitor that I’m aware of, but I’m not much of a Mane guy.
@@MikesArcadeMonitorRepair aw bummer I was really hoping to be able to use this monitor in my bare bones 3-koam z back cabinet that I'm trying to put together
I am using with an 8-liner and cannot get the colors right.
Some boards require you to turn/adjust the color pots on the converter all the way up.
Hey! I’m trying to convert my Mario bros and I’m stuck on the wiring! The colors don’t seem to match up. Has anyone converted an old Mario bros?
Mario Bros has inverted colors. You need an inverter, then the converter.
I have problem with Tekken Tag Turnament. Do I need some filter before converter? All the other games works fine on the same converter except TTT.
What is the issue?

Game freezes for few seconds
You sure it’s not a PCB issue?

It's strange because even though your video is 60fps, Mortal Kombat looked like it was dropping frames. Not as smooth as it normally is.
Have you ever run this with Double Dragon? I can't get a steady image no matter what I do.
Have you tried hooking another VGA cable to the VGA pass through input to act as an 8k-10k resistor on the sync line?
@@MikesArcadeMonitorRepair yessir. Seems like no matter what I've tried I can't get a steady image with that game. Here's a video:

Hmm. Odd. The title and high score screen is stable. Try a physical resistor on the sync line like I describe in my video. I also assume you’ve pressed the AUTO button as well?
@@MikesArcadeMonitorRepair I've tried the auto button, no dice. I'll have to see if I have any resistors with that value and give that a try. Have you tried any other vga converters? I'm trying to find one that doesn't make 90's Midway games look like trash.
I ordered one of the HDMI output ones from Amazon but it never arrived.
What if one of the colors is missing?
Then you likely have a wiring problem or a PCB problem but make sure the pot on the converter isn’t turned down.
i know this sounds funny but how do i get it in english on the screen?
found it ha ha....

My menus are all Chinese, how do you get English?
Google the manual. You have to go to the language option and select English.
Will this work using a PC?
I don’t understand.

Screen is shaking. But other than that it's nice
How do you stop screen shaking/flickering?
