Groovy Mame on My BVM-D24E1WU: Where Do I Start?

[wingzrow]

So I've finally calibrated my BVM-D24E1WU, & I'm now ready to feed this some emulators through a PC. What do I need to get started? I've already got an Extron RGB 203 Rxi I found cheap on eBay, but have no idea where to go from here.

What cords do I need to order? What kind of Graphics card do I need? I'm sitting on a Radeon 6970, & a MSI GeForce GTX 980ti, but have no idea what I would need to do with them.

What's my next course of action?

What cords do I need to order?

VGA to VGA to connect your PC to the interface and 4x BNC to 4x BNC to connect the interface to the monitor. You might end up using only three in RGsB mode, but safe is safe.

You need a supported ATI video card. One listed here: http://geedorah.com/eiusdemmodi/forum/v ... .php?id=65

Can you link me to those cords on Amazon? I can order them now & get back to you once they come in & I have everything connected. Just anything you're sure would be quality would be great. Also, the person I bought the BVM from says the Radeon HD 6970 worked with groovymame when he tried it, so I think I'm good on that front.

Edit: If the card I have doesn't work for whatever reason, what graphics card do you recommend I order instead?

There's a list of compatible cards on BYOAC, but it's down again, probably for several days.

Extron came in, BNC cables came in, & I've successfully sent a 1360X768 image to the BVM, but the colors seem "off". The image in general seems too dark & not very sharp.

Do I set a specific color space on windows 7 to make it better? I'd like to try a few upscaled emulators before buying a dedicated card for 240p games.

I didn't even know that the D24 would accept 768p. Maybe this confuses the decoder board. You should try 720p instead.
