Hi Guys,
i've got two questions regarding mistercade.
Basically n00b questions but i tend to aks first before i pdoduce smoke.
I've been a MiSTER user quite some time using a ultimatemister via RGB SCART.
For my restored cabs i've bought brooks ultimate fighting boards, but those seem to have some conflicts with mister unfortunately.
Problem is, they alway go into N's switch mode instead staying in the 360 mode i've forced them.
This destroys everytime the mapping to the mister control, and i got to setup up every time again when i start the ultimeate mister.
So f*** that, i got myself the mistercade kit, so it should be plug and play.
GENERAL SETUP OF THE CABS:
Signal: Consumer TV's via RGB SCART, JAMMA is provided by FrankJs DYI Supergun/Meanwell PSU.
Questions:
1) Video OUT
As the mistercade got RGB level adjustments and Franks Supergun also, i think taking out the video signal out of the supergun is not ideal.
It would recommend set up all 6 pots correct. At least that's what im thinking since there's no schematics, where i see the signal path.
The mistercade has a 2nd DB15 on the XL addon board (hope that's the correct name) where it puts out consumer levels, while its TTL levels on the "main DB15".
I think it would be better to take of the Video signal directy on that DB15 instead of the MiniDIN of the supergun. Less components in the signal chain, also the double RGB adjustments.
I would use the VGA->RGB SCART cable from the ultimatemister that i got. It's a good one which is recommended on mister github page.
What would you suggest?
PS: the 15Khz ini files should be the correct ones? Still haven't figured out how those calculate, but as i understand 240p =15kHz / 480p =31kHz.
(probably got to compare the mister.ini's from the ultimate vs mistercade, but i guess you boys know it.
2) Buttons 4/5/6
Currently i got B4 enabled on the supergun microswitch for the MVS.
Am i correct that i NEED to set all those "MiniDIPS" to OFF on the supergun (in that position they go to the CS kick instead of the JAMMA Edge), otherwise i could damage the HW?
I think i understood it correct, but the wording JAMMA EGDE was not used consistent through some doc's i've read through.
In one document it was one way, on the other exactly the opposite whats been told in the other, that confused me (those where not mistercade documents to be clear).
Sorry 'im not used yet to all Arcade "slang".
In my world Edge would mean the actual Jamma connector.
I've got someone making me a CPS2 Kick for the supergun<>mistercade, but until then i like to try the new mister setup without damaging the DE-10.
Thanks for answering my n00b Q's.
