I'm thinking of getting a Vewlix.
I'm also concerned about the way my old 15khz games will look on an HD cab.
Considering the absolute brilliance in upscaling the XRGB can pull off, would this be a viable solution in the cab?
Also would the XRGB-mini do the trick?
Thoughts and recommendations appreciated.
as an owner of a VLX and someone who has jumped down the hole of playing JAMMA games in it, here's my advice.
DON'T.
seriously.
If you do, there's things you need to take into account:
1) Wiring
Rather than drop $600 (yes, Six Hundred American Dollars) on the JAMMA kit, I created my own harness, which I made completely removeable, but had to splice into the power connectors to make. The control section is completely removable as well (no splicing needed) the test/service buttons also require splicing.
2) Power
the Wei-ya PSUs in these are the same as the AWSD and they SUUUUUUUUUCK. Seriously. I'm not a big fan of wrecking the original wiring too much if it's not needed so the Sanwa SWN-JVS PSU is a direct drop in... for $200.
3) Display
I dropped an XRGB 3 into mine, and no matter how much I played with the settings, I could never get it looking good enough.
4) Sound
By the time I was concerned with the sound, I didn't have the will to chase down that problem..
I'm seriously considering abandoning the pipe dream all together and getting the JAMMA kit. the $600 for it is hefty, but atleast it would be running within Taito's suggested config.
I hope my experience helps
