Ultimarc J-PAC issues w/15 kHz monitor

Unread post by lymando »

I got a free j-pac with my recent candy cab purchase and decided to set it up with my MiSTer (at least until the MiSTerCade comes out this summer).

That said, I noticed an issue once everything was hooked up. First everything seemed green. I thought it was my monitor but adjusting it didn't solve the problem. I then got a tip to Flip the switch on my IO board (to auto). This helped but then the reds were off.

Well after reading it seems this is an issue others are having while using the j-pac. Curious if anyone has found a fix for this.

I have seen similar issues with JAMMA type adapters including J-PACs, when using an IO board.

One solution I know which works is remove C6 on the underside of the IO board it's the 100uf on the SOG switch, and just jumper it with a wire.

I have the same combo and everything works ok. I had to adjust a few settings, especially brightness.

For me there was too much pissing about between games for it to be a workable alternative to groovymame but it did work.
