Since starting the Gigantor Project I destroyed 2 of my 2 Hantarex Arcade monitors
I was searching on ebay and other platforms, but didn’t find any Arcade monitors for sale, so I decided to add a SCART output to my Gigantor wiring to use an old and cheap TV as monitor.
Today I finished all the wiring for the Gigantor, I want to be able to use JAMMA and other PCBs so I decided to go with the Austrian “Novomatic” 50pin D-SUB as my main connector. I believe this should be the most durable type.
The finished wiring consists of one primary female 50pin D-SUB which can be connected to different PCBs via (still to do) converters. From this there are 4 main connecions:

1. Video: 15pin male D-SUB connector wired according to the VGA standard
2. Audio: Stereo female TRS connector
3. Controlers: 38pin female Centronics connector with own pin assignment
4. Mains: 9pin Connector to Hantarex US200

On the Video part follows a SCART connector which also needs +5V for switching the TV to RGB mode which is routed via Chinch connectors.

Today was the first test and YEAHHH … everything works perfectly … playing Arcade games on a 42″ Full HD rulez

Everything is wired in a way to replace any part at any time, for example it’s no problem to replace the SCART connector with an Arcade monitor connector, or completely replace the PCBs with a MAME computer.

At the moment I have no camera, but I will post some pictures at a later time.
