S1500 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Well, do you have a laptop with an S-video out port? I have one, just never got around to hooking it up to my HDTV. Or do you have a video card on your PC that has a DVI out port? Have an HDTV? Cable 'em together & you can play it on the tele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable 'em together & you can play it on the tele. yes, I have an "s" video out on the laptop. my tv has "s" ports as well. not sure about the second choice you gave me, so lets go with the "s" video out solution. im not sur if my tv is hd, its a 1998 projection tv.

monzamess Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 ok, I dont have mame coming out of my speakers on my tv. why not? do i need to hook up rcas? Yes. Hook the headphone jack of the laptop to the red/white RCA inputs on the TV. You need one of these, available at most electronics stores and WalMart etc: http://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Stereo-Male-RC...WY9MXRJVKW6MNP8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalstar Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I have the final piece (audio cable) in my build to have a "behind the TV" mame box. Should be set up by tonight. Should be fun sitting around with 4 people, a few beers and MAME on a 32" TV The final touch is a 4 port USB hub for the controllers which is in the shape of an audio cassette.
