    I really wish you had made a more in-depth video on the installation. I have this same exact cabinet, and I have absolutely no clue how to go about installing a new arcade power supply. I have the newer MiSTerCade that has the 5v jumper letting me use the cabinet power supply. The problem I'm having is that the video output looks wrong. Everything looks fine with the board that came with the cabinet; but when I install the MiSTerCade, the colors look blown out, like as if the contrast is too high. I noticed that the chassis has spot for a contrast adjustment, but the potentiometer is missing. I wish I knew how you got yours to look right. I've been pulling out my hair trying to figure this out!

  • @MisterScientific
    @MisterScientific 3 роки тому +1

    Quick question. You mentioned you would like to have a cabinet for each orientation for 3 total. I assume 4:3, rotated 3:4, but what is the other orientation referred to? The taller displays that games like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man run on? What are those displays/ratio called? Also, were there ever any pre-HD era 16:9 arcade cabs? I feel like there would be some, but can't think of any off the top of my head.

    • @RetroRGB

    Does anyone know the video output resolutions on the mister? Currently using groovymame with calamity ati card drivers for super resolutions. Horizontal always fits perfect and only requires vertical adjustment between each game using the crt remote board pot.
    If mister is doing native res instead of super res, do you find you have to adjust horizontal as well as vertical when switching games?

  • @grafxgear
    @grafxgear Рік тому

    I don't know if you will see this. But, how did you wire the Meanwell into the cab? My guess is the original mains goes into the MW power supply then piggybacks to the deflection board. The alternative is you split the mains where it comes into the cab and routed it to both the MW PSU and defection board? Your wiring is out of site and hard to duplicated. Any input would be appreciated.

    • @RetroRGB
      @RetroRGB  Рік тому +1

      the original chassis has it's own PSU, so I just spliced the AC input - One to the original chassis and the other to the meanwell for the arcade boards.
      Replacing the chassis with a better one and using a better meanwell for the whole thing would better though. You'd just have to find a chassis to match the CRT.

    • @grafxgear
      @grafxgear Рік тому

      @@RetroRGB Thank you so much. I already did a full recap of the chassis with a few upgrades. Increasing c561 to a 220uf x 250v helped with most of my blooming issues. c451 is timing critical and shouldn't be modified, but replacing it with an exact match fixed my fold-over issues. It's a cheap tube / chassis and I spent WAY too much on high quality caps than it is worth... but the results are fine. I ran into the exact same issue in that I can't fill the bottom of the screen no mater what I adjust. When I'm more motivated I'll replace the whole tube / chassis. In the meantime I got the same MW PSU as you, I just wasn't sure where to wire it in. Now to hit up Porkchop Express.

    • @RetroRGB
      @RetroRGB  Рік тому

    What's up with the vertical orientation on the monitor? Everything seems up a bit too high, or not filling the screen? (I know very little about arcade CRTs so I'm sure there's a reason?)

    • @RetroRGB
      @RetroRGB  3 роки тому

      That's a combination of the CRT's controls and the fact that each core will output slightly different video (same with swapping different arcade boards). Cabs with external controls usually have H&V centering, so this isn't a problem with those. This cab has the H&V controls buried, so I just leave it alone - It's close enough that it doesn't bother me.

    Not really sure why you went to such lengths to avoid enlarging / adding a hole on the back, given you happily drilled larger holes all over the front panels. Using your hole saw on the back would have allowed for USB-A and full-size HDMI. You could even fit flush mount USB hub (there's ones that fit circular holes).

    • @RetroRGB
      @RetroRGB  3 роки тому

      Simple: The holes drilled in front will be used with MiSTerCade, real arcade machines, Raspberry Pi...pretty much everything I can think of will use them, so if I ever put the MiSTerCade in a different machine and turn this into, say, a PGM box, I'll still use them. Alternatively, cutting a hole for HDMI and USB is ONLY something I'd use with an emulation solution, so I didn't want it to be permanant.

    Hi ! I'm always hyped by your videos. They contain good quality and a ton of tech info.
    I'd like to have your opinion on a subject that is vastly talked about among hardware defenders compared to FPGA or RPI.
    It's about INPUT LAG. Some of these people say that these devices (even hooked to a CRT) produces Input Lag because of the USB controller's nature and because of software based emulation structure. They also say that the best game to test the lag is Punch Out on Nes and they cant finish the game on RPi because of that.
