Steamlink in Vewlix Cabinet, removal of 220v PSU
Posted: March 2nd, 2017, 12:57 am
Hey all, I'm hoping someone can help me out with an issue I'm having. I've got a Vewlix L cabinet that I've been working on and I'd like to be able to stream the glorious PC versions of my games directly to it rather than build a new piece of kit to toss inside. The issue that's roadblocking me is the monitor, it squishes my 1280x720p streaming signal down to 640x480p. I did some digging and it appears that the steamlink doesn't seem to recognize the EDID of the samsung monitor that the cabinet is equipped with.
Has anyone been able to successfully run a steamlink in fullscreen at 720p? If so, how?
Another problem I'd like to be able to address is the removal of the 220v JAMMA system (PSU, PCB) the cabinet is currently equipped with, as I intend to eventually get an appropriate CRT cabinet for any JAMMA games. To do that I need a control board and an AMP. Does anyone have any recommendations on that front? I had my eye on a howler board for my control panel ( http://www.wolfwareeng.com/ ) but the site hasn't been updated in nearly 3 years. Brook boards are certainly an option but they're extremely pricy, I'd rather not pay $200 to get the controls working properly. I'm less knowledgeable about amps with volume control and I'm not sure where to look for one that would suit my needs. If anyone can point me towards a reliable business or person(s) to purchase parts I would be very appreciative!
