I mainly occasionally swap between CPS2, MVS and CPS3. I should be fine right?

Let's freaking go! Clean as a whistle! You're my hero. You all are. Thank you guys so much for the help. Hope this thread helps someone else out there

Ok I got it open and I think I found the corresponding connectors. Mine looks slightly different from your photos but I think I'm looking at the same thing? The VGA is indeed connected how you said. The connector above it is red on mine and had a connector plugged into it but I'm not sure if it...

Got it! Thanks so much for the detailed info! Will try my luck with this and report back. Anything I should be careful of while I'm in there? I imagine I won't need to touch the CRT at all. Just hunting for one connector seems pretty straightforward so I'm not too worried about getting...

Legend. Let me give that a try and report back. Sorry, how do I access it? I have a Japanese manual for new net city that I'm Google translating through but I don't see instructions for getting to the monitor chassis. Is it this back panel of the monitor I need to remove?

Gotcha, that makes sense. If I were to change the connection on the monitor chassis, would that need to be switched back when I hook up my CPS2 or MVS boards? Or could I in theory switch it and forget? If it's something that needs to be switched back and forth maybe the Jammafier is a good...

Apologies for my most likely incorrect terminology. I meant JVS I/O but actually theres just a VGA connector that I'm running the harness VGA into which I assume runs up to the monitor chassis. It seems to be a direct connection, no PCB in between. Correct, the audio terminates to RCAs. Not...

Thanks! I'll check that out. I'm no expert on CRT tuning/adjustment, I mostly have experience tuning the shape/bounds of the image but I can probably figure it out. Is there anything in particular you'd look at first in there though? H-sync maybe?

I got this custom harness off eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174871198968 VGA comes off of that and goes into the Naomi I/O. EDIT: Just heard back from the seller, it's the original monitor. Never replaced There are buttons to adjust the monitor under the control panel, which I've tinkered...

Oooh the retro scaler seems to be in stock, could be a viable solution. Noob question, would this be able to get power without any additional add on to the net city + JAMMA/JVS loom setup? I'm currently bypassing the Naomi I/O on the cab and just running the loom up the arm to the joystick...

Got it! Thanks so much for the detailed response. That does sound like the same issue. Did you have any problems with audio or the somewhat rare interrupted frames I described on CPS2? I'm assuming those could be PSU related but I haven't opened it up or anything beyond volt testing yet. It...

Gotcha. I looked into these when I was first figuring out how to convert the JVS to JAMMA. They seem pretty hard to acquire, also I was hoping to avoid introducing any lag via going through the PCB but maybe it's negligible on these. I wonder if your issue was the same and if so is it related...

For sure! Seems OK to me, better in person of course.

Hey y'all, first time poster and new retro candy cab hobbyist here. I recently acquired a used Net City cab and some arcade boards, purchased separately. I've had pretty good luck with my CPS2 Super Turbo board and my MVS but my coveted Darksoft 3rd Strike board has some graphical and sound...
