NEC XM29+ control over RS232

Post by mojo »

I am developing a supergun with digital control of the video output, and I was thinking it would be cool if it could also store settings for an XM29+ monitor so you could save and load them for each game at will.

The manual for the XM29+ only gives a few basic commands to switch inputs and turn the monitor on/off, but I want to control things like the picture geometry. It is a bit of a long shot but maybe they included commands to do that and didn't document them. People often use secret commands for debugging or factory calibration and diagnostics.

Does anyone know anything about either the commands or any software that can control the monitor? It looks like NEC may have provided some at one point but I can't find it now. If the software allowed greater control I could reverse engineer it.
