1) Take the R, G, B, Sync & GND from the JAMMA edge connector to the cables with the white plug (bottom left)
2) Take +12V and GND from the JAMMA edge connector to power in (top left)
3) connect VGA lead from Naomi cab to the right hand vga on the video converter (you dont need to use either connector on the JVS)

You can do that, but you'll end up regretting it at some point. Build an adapter with an edge connector + fingerboard.

Don't make this too hard.. If I understand correctly, you have a board like this:
http://www.starcab.net/product_info.php ... cts_id=400

You need to make your own cable that has VGA in one end that plugs into the adapter above, and the provided RGB cable into your upscanner in the other end, in the CGA INPUT connector. Google VGA pinout, you need to hook up R G B GND and SYNC.

Connect the monitor VGA cable to "VGA OUTPUT"
Connect your naomi game/PC to "VGA BYPASS INPUT"

Shouldn't be more complicated than that I imagine, and no soldering required.

That would work too. If you need a JAMMA fingerboard and plug I have some I ordered from JAMMABOARDS

From my experience, it is the best converter so far. Sorry to invism, but the converter introdused commonly at everywhere, has lag encoding signals,of witch manufacuture admits,plobably will not satisfy everyone here. NAMCO's doesn't have any, except, you may need to rewire test and coin meter, when hooked to SEGA JVS I/O board. Of course, no need for that, if wired directly to them.
All very well, but impossible to buy..

I take it the Konami one, form a Windy, doesn't have lag?

The Namco one in question, is it the one found in the cyberlead?

No lag here.

The Namco one is from the Cyberlead.

Note, you can do the stereo/mono thing with the Konami too :) Although I'm not aware that it can do virtual stereo.

Well I tried it today I used the end of a VGA lead and all I'm getting is a rolling screen could this be power or wireing the VGA lead wrong ?
