Hey guys. I've just received my pandora's box DX. I plugged it in to one of my cabinets that runs Metal Slug X. I had sound and picture but the screen was flickering. I swapped it over to my lethal enforcers cabinet and it worked fine, even though it was upside down and back to front. No big deal there. I'll put some pics up of my tube and chasis that was flickering. Could it be that its's not 15KHz? Does metal slug X play on a higher resolution monitor which is the reason for the flickering? I'm making a new loom for it to eliminate the wiring as an issue but I don't want to spend to much time with that cabinet if its just never going to work. Hopefully these pictures aren't too average
There was also an a jamma adapter connected between the loom and pcb that has what seems to be a power lead hanging off it. That lead is just floating in the cabinet doing nothing. I couldn't find any information on it. What does it do?
And my last question is am I able to physically switch the horizontal and vertical picture on the monitor from an external switch or directly from whatever pcb I have in the cabinet. Some games have it built into them when you boot up but others dont and I have to get into the back of the cabinet to switch the wires around. 1st world problem but I would like to just be able to flick a button on the cabinet if it's not going to blow anything up
