Ask if her if the cga support is digital or analog?
I'm assuming your machine outputs 15khz analog rgb but I'm guessing.
Ok, I asked. Now... I wait...

I'm trying to restore a Sega Champion Baseball arcade machine, but I'm having some problems. Today's problem is the Sega Champion Baseball board, which arrived today, does not fit the connector inside the cabinet. I'm sure there are more technical terms, but I am a novice when it comes to this stuff and therefore, I do not know how to solve this. At some point someone turned this cabinet into a Ms. Pac-Man machine. In the photo you can see the Ms. Pac-Man board on the right and the Sega Champion Baseball on the left. Notice the big difference in the pinout size. The Sega board does not fit. Any idea what I do from here?

I'm going to take a listen, thanks!

It's Berzerk.Scratch that, the coin door doesn't look right.
Turns out to be Sega Champion Baseball, in fact, the original control panel overlay is sitting underneath the blue one we see in the photo. I peeled it off.

Maybe I'm confused with the use of the term cga/ega. When I hear those terms I think of digital/ttl video as opposed to analog video. I didn't think any arcade games output cga/ega. Maybe by cga/ega/vga they mean analog rgb 15/22/30khz.
I wrote to the company that is selling the LCD monitor and they responded:

Your question:
Can the Vga scan 15khz?
Our Answer:
The VGA is 30 - 80KHz
The CGA is 15 - 30KHz
So I think I can get this monitor for the cabinet. I think...
-
We'd have to know if it's vga can scan 15khz. I think so, because of the cga support. I think most modern vga monitors support combined sync but most don't scan below 30khz or support cga.
I think this is the same exact one https://www.8linesupply.com/shop/parts-supplies/19-wells-gardner-multi-resolution-led-display-with-protective-glass/ and if that info is correct, it does do 15 khz. So I might be in business.
-
The pinout and schematic is there. I see RGB + combined sync. Standard resolution means 15khz, all typical for the time.
So with the monitor I'm looking at, I wouldn't need a converter?
-
What does your old machine output? I think they are typically analog RGB + combined sync at 15khz.
You'd have to get the specification of that monitor's vga input. Vga typically doesn't scan below 30khz and uses seperate horizontal and vertical sync. There's a good chance this monitor scans 15khz on vga and takes combined sync but that's something to check. Otherwise you'd need a converter.
I understand you don't want a crt, just curious if sourcing a replacement crt is possible.
Where can I get that information? This is really all I have for info: https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7306

I'm trying to restore an arcade cabinet from 1983. The CRT monitor is shot and honestly, I'd rather have an LED/LCD screen in it's place. (Don't get me wrong, CRT, when working, looks great)
I don't know much about how to connect the monitor and most of what I see out there has DVI and/or VGA ports which are clearly not going to connect on an old system arcade cabinet like this.
Will this work? https://na.suzohapp.com/products/accessories/49-3223-01 Does this need an adapter to connect it to the arcade machine?
Thanks!

The Sega sticker in the corner says "Champion Baseball" and the cabinet does like about the same...
Funny you said that. I kept ignoring that because of all the Atari labels. So today I opened it and found more Sega labels. Then I decided to do a search and found that same link. I'm with you, this has to be that game. Everything seems to match.

I picked up this cabinet today. I have plans for it, but my plans may change if I can figure out what was the original video game that came with the cabinet. Currently, as you can see, it has Ms. Pac-Man. This is not a Ms. Pac-Man cabinet. It looks like it had a Sega game in it at some point. I did look up model number 522, but I found nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
-
Also Timber, though it's even less common and the control panel is different.
Control panel I can always change, it's the outer cabinet that's important. Hmm, even more scarce, eh? Looks like back to plan A which is to build. Sadly, I don't have the specific dimensions. Going to have to wing it.
-
I'll be honest, I was going to say Root Beer Tapper, too.
As a kid, all I saw were Tapper machines... then at some point in my life, when I came across older games, I only saw Root Beer Tapper and got annoyed.
ha! You might enjoy this video from Video Game Stars then, it's literally a minute long:

I'll check out those links though

I want to build a Tapper cabinet, but I recently thought, it would be a lot easier if I could find a cabinet from another game (cheaper one...) and use that. Is there another arcade game that used the same exact shaped & size cabinet?
-
This turned out to be more interesting than I thought it would be. I want to thank mr_me for helping me out. Thanks again!

You are just breaking the seal on MAME. Get ready, its not like other emulators.
Basically, the romsets change just like Os said. You need a matching set to your version of MAME. What I would do is go to pleasuredome.uk and download the latest MAME romset (warning it's big) then get the corresponding version of MAME and never update MAME ever again.
Another solution is to still do the first step and download the latest romset, but then run a utility like CLRMAMEPro that will "fix" the roms you have in another directory by ensuring they match up to whatever version of MAME you are using.
A good forum for answers is Build Your Own Arcade Controls. They spend all their time on this stuff. I believe there is even a spinoff version of MAME out there somewhere that behaves much more like a "normal" emulator and doesn't require you to know the difference between complete and split sets (or whatever they are calling them now).
"You are just breaking the seal on MAME. Get ready, its not like other emulators." Yeah, that's what I'm sensing
Much of what I'm reading seems like a foreign language, but I am picking up what you and Osgeld are putting down. I will try my best to take everyone's advice. Thank you. I appreciate the help, cause up until now, I was completely lost. Now, I have a direction.-

I can't seem to find a workable Tapper (Budweiser) ROM for MAME. Granted, I am completely new to Mame. Use other emulators before, but not this. Went to mamedev.org, downloaded their 32 bit version for my Vista machine, got that working, but the Tapper ROMS keeps saying I am missing files. Anyone know what is going on? Or know of a Tapper Rom that works?
I am trying to avoid Roms for Atari 2600, Atari 800. etc..
-
I really want a Tapper arcade cabinet, but odds are I will never find one. So I thought, I'll make one.
Does anyone know the dimensions of the cabinet?
Also, what size was the monitor? Think I read something like 27 inches, though that seems too big. Also, was it 4:3 or 5:4?
-
I can't imagine these sell well to collectors. I would think if it had the Atari branding, people would go nuts for it.

According to this web article Mitsubishi ordered all their Atari prototypes and paperwork destroyed; implying Mitsubishi had some Atari prototypes. Not sure when the article was written. http://www.atarimuseum.com/ataritel/ataritel.html
Geezus. That's sad. Also sad that I missed that on the site.
-
Trying to find more information and photos about the line of telephones Atari was working on in the early 1980s. It's fascinating stuff, but Atari Museum has very little information. Does anyone know where the prototypes have gone (thinking the trash, but hoping otherwise)? Are there more, higher quality photos? Did the kiosk ever make it out of the Atari offices? Thanks all!
-
Please keep track of when all those people die and then get the stories from him.
LOL!

Back to the point of the original post, thanks Ikrananka for that information. Much appreciated.

Is the CGA support digital or analog?
Our Answer:
The CGA supports Analog
Well, regardless, I have decided to go a different way with this project.
