Your Existing Monitor

Please note: There are over 4,000 different arcade machines and many different configurations of your monitor. This kit will only handle the connection of the buttons/joystick/switches and coin-selector, but does not handle the interface between computer or game system and the monitor. As a rule, the monitor in your machine should support VGA resolution and if it does, it can connect to a computer and run 640x480. If not, you will want to consider upgrading the display to a CRT Monitor, LCD or old-school tube TV. You can lookup your machine here and in some cases find the type of display.
