I'm getting a unstable/rolling picture on a cab with a MS8-25 when trying to play Tatsunoko vs Capcom. I set DIP 1 on the board to ON, which enables 15KHz video output, and I set the Capcom I/O (which I am using to convert to/from JVS) to CSYNC video. If I mess the V HOLD on the monitor, I can ALMOST get the image to stop rolling, but it'll keep rolling just a tiny bit and is never ever completely stable. The game is basically unplayable in this state. 31KHz video seems to work perfectly fine when tested on an external display, but the MS8-25 does not support 31KHz so this does not help me.
Anyone got any ideas? Do I just need to play this somewhere else?
Thanks!

It's not set to widescreen is it? It shouldn't affect vertical sync, but what do I know.
Hold SEL when you boot it up. Remember to save settings if you make changes.

Thanks, Nem! 99% sure it was set to 4:3, I didn't notice any letterboxing. When I get some more time to play with it tomorrow I will double-check this and see if it makes a difference (guessing it's in the TEST menu?).
I may be able to test on a friend's MS9 this weekend, so if I get the chance I will also try it as-is on that and see if we have the same issue.
Will report back!

Finally got around to trying this again... test menu is indeed set to 4:3, and the picture rolls vertically no matter how much I adjust V HOLD. Tried widescreen for funsies, no change. Still haven't had a chance to try other 15KHz displays.
Works perfectly fine in 31KHz though! Just not on this monitor/cabinet.

- Try an other VGA cable
- Did you try to put switch 1 to the left (capcom converter) ?

Will try another VGA cable and report back.
When I had it flipped to the left (which I believe is H/V), I got a completely distorted and collapsed picture. I switched it to the right (which I think is CSYNC), which got me where I am today... I can try a different cable and flipping the switch again. Will also report back.
Thanks for the tips!

OK, just tried this again with a new cable, got the same result. When I went to verify the switch position, it was set to the left, which I believe is H/V according to this webpage. So now I'm confused, 'cause I swore this was set to CSYNC (switch to the right) previously. So I flipped the switch to the right (CYSNC), and... with some adjustment to VHOLD, I have a stable picture. Go figure.
Lesson learned.
Thanks for the help, everyone!
