I was just playing mark of the wolves and noticed that right at the top of the monitor it's a little wavy. I tried adjusting it, but it's always there. It's not terrible, but a bad sign at least.

so, is this what a cap-job fixes? Are they hard to do? If not, what do I do? It's a huge monitor and looks great otherwise! I don't want to replace it with something smaller!!

This happens on my home cartridge system, bishOp. In fact, my MOTW cartridge does the same thing!

I thought of that and checked it with SamSho4 and Bust-a-Move. No dice....about the top half-inch. Maybe I'm adjusting wrong?

I don't know, but I can't get it to go away.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm......... I don't think you need to adjust your monitor to play MOTW. Has it always been this way?

Try adjusting the monitor horizontal fequency or hold (if it has one)
Is this AES through a TV or monitor ???

no, This is a 29" arcade monitor on my 2-slot jamma conversion. I just got this machine, so it's probably always been there. I tried it with my games and it shows up on all of them.

I'd like to know as well. My 2-slot does the exact same thing.

But it only shows up some times. <img src="graemlins/help.gif" border="0" alt="[Help]" />

Funny thing that the new converted cabinet that I just got does the same thing as well.

Its like the picture looks fine until it gets to the top and then for about a quarter of an inch it makes this waving crazy thing. Like its not tuned right or something.

I tried messing with all the adjustments for the monitor, and nothing seemed to work, so I just made the screen a little bigger and pushed the wavy crap off the screen.

My monitor looks a bit over scanned now, but hey looks fine to me! :D

so is it possible this is a neo thing then and not the monitor at all? Could someone try connecting an extra Jamma game up to thier neo and looking for the wave we're all talking about?

Is this a known problem? Someone told me that the neo only produces something like 49.2 MHZ instead of 50.00MHZ and that causes issues with some monitors and televisions, but I didn't see it on a datasheet so I don't know what to believe.

I don't want to do a capp job on a perfectly good monitor!!
