I am trying to hook my Dreamcast up to my Super Neo 29 cabinet.

I have a JAMMA fingerboard and a Dreamcast VGA adaptor. (not sure if I need the vga adaptor or not).

How can I output the video to the jamma fingerboard?

I am not sure the best way to get this all hook up so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!!
Bill

I don't know about the specific monitor in your super neo cab, but if it only does 15 khz then you won't need the DC VGA box. If your monitor does do 30 khz then you're in luck and you can use your dc vga box. I'm not too knowledgeable about candy cab monitors, but the only ones I know of are the new astro cities that do 30 khz.

If you're monitor only does 15 khz, then the easiest thing to do would buy a DC Scart cable (make sure it has RGB). They are pretty cheap, and all u will need to do is open up the scart end and solder the corresponding wires to your fingerboard.

If you want to open up your DC then you could just solder wires directly to the av out, but the scart option will leave your DC in it's happy form.
