Probably thinking of JNX, looks like he still sells them. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn=snk-guru

Thanks @plasticfactory ! As many people have said in the past plasticfactory was great to deal with :)

Dim picture issue? Mine ended up being the in between fingerboard that I made that attaches to the IO that the UVC taps into. I had to cut the traces that went from the male side to the female side (IO board, not needed) on the fingerboard for video. Basically the signal was getting sunk because...

Wanted to share my tips and tricks for setting up modern and old games on a high res display in vertical mode. All of the below is what I use on my Chewlix and a 1440P 16:9 display. I am not a fan of dead space (black) and prefer some kind of CRT shader applied to classic games vs a blocky...

That's more what I was wondering if the line expects 12v then supplying 5v more than likely would cause issues.

Mine is yellow closest to vga as well. Looks backwards on Still Greens picture.

Picked up a Chewlix from a friend, I needed something to play newer games and wanted an easy to rotate vertical cabinet. I am typically CRT only but this has been a really pleasant surprise. I have already changed out the monitor, speakers, art, etc. Figured it may be helpful for anyone looking...

Is that how it looks on an official cab or some of sells art? I was having a hard time finding pics of officials stuff. If its being printed, why would you not do the same thing as when in horizontal mode, leaving the frame alone. Maybe its a me issue, but this looks way better to me....

Well that's kind of the point, if I buy the vertical set, i would expect it to fit the vertical monitor layout :) Most people play vertical shmups in vertical layout not horizontal. They would fit fine if they were scaled down to be a little thinner.

Maybe its me and I am daft but the vertical artwork borders that are for the sides of the monitor don't fit when the monitor is in vertical mode? They are sized for horizontal mode? I would expect the vertical kits with the art oriented up and down to fit on the sides in vertical mode? You can...

Its dependent on what the GPU itself can output based off an EDID table. The videoamp saves all the EDID information you write to it, so as long as the gpu can output one of those res based on its bios it should. Its all dependent on your hardware you are using, all the videoamp is doing is...

You write the EDIDs you want to the vga boards memory, so they are there on bootup. If your bios works inside those EDID you should see your bios, I have a newer system with a 5600x on my Blast City and the bios shows up in 640x480. Your GPU still has to support the resolution at a driver...

Thanks for posting them, they are at least allowing me to use vert mode until I can track some metal ones down :) Also, random note, i have the same exact color vewlix sitting beside a blast city....twinsies!

Yeah and you could also maybe use PLA since it is a stiffer material, I didn't use it though because when it does break it tends to be more catastrophic haha.

Well the 3D printed work, but don't work :O They fit, the screwed in and they are currently holding up my monitor but there's a tiny bit of flex in the material so the monitor isn't flush at the very top, the weight pushes it back a little bit maybe half an inch. Good try though, I can use them...
