Title: Replacing the monitor on a Game King with a standard VGA monitor?
Post by: knagl on May 01, 2012, 12:29:57 AM
I have a friend trying to replace the stock CRT monitor with a flat panel typical computer VGA monitor on a Game King.  He says he's got the touchscreen issues worked out and that it's a non-issue, but that he needs to know how to wire a regular VGA monitor into the connector in the back of the machine.  Can anyone lend any insight?  Does the Game King in fact spit out VGA video?

Essentially, he's trying to create a homebrew LCD replacement solution for the older CRT monitors, rather than spending $500+ per machine to buy the drop-in replacement kit from Ceronix, for which I can't blame him.  Any help on the video wiring, anyone?

Thanks in advance.   :89-

If the GK is any thing like its predecessor PE+ the video will be inverted.
See the PE+ thread on this matter..... (also Ceronix)

The PE+ is CGA which would likely leave us dead in the water like we currently are with the PE+. Does anyone know for sure if the Game King is CGA or VGA?
