    have you got sound drivers installed on the pc? I only ask because i had a similiar issue and believe it or not the sound drivers where causing the problem.

    Or it could be the way hyperspin is launching the file. you should check out the hyperspin forum for info on how to set that up.

    Hyperspin is a bit of a pain to get working alright I myself have put about 30-40 hours into it and I have about 30 consoles set up with all artwork and videos. It's worth all the hard work though when you have that lovely interface to play on :)

    A tv won't accept a 15Khz signal if memory serves
    A standard European CRT TV will run at 15KHZ using scart(RGB), it is essentially the same thing as an arcade monitor, I ran a few different TVs in my jamma cab for years when my 1st arcade monitor died
    see here for more info
    http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=77370.0
    many users on arcadecontrols.com have replaced hard to find or expensive arcade monitors with t.v's over the years.

    And you will either need to run soft15Khz or use and arcadeVGA
    An arcadevga will output 15Khz all the time, soft15khz is a piece of software to set windows to output 15Khz it only works with certain video cards so you will have to check for support before buying a video card

    Best to ask the experts in the monitor section of arcadecontrols.com or somewhere similar about that, afaik some TVs have a live chassis and they are not as easily de-cased as others and you would need to have some sort of isolation transformer if you decase it
    I think I've read a thread about de-casing trinitrons at some stage and booked marked it, give me a min
    *can't find it but you'll find alot of info on decasing TVs through google

    I had one with the rear case removed and the front bezel still in place

    This is a TV using an ArcadeVGA, as you can see it has alot of screen burn from a bookies and was shorty replaced with a smaller Mitsubishi black diamond 21" which are ten a penny, I'll try find some closeups

    Lads another quick question i decided to connect my pc to my sony trinitron using a s video cable seemed the easiest option..im using maximys arcade but is there anyway to get the picture to fullscreen on a 16:9 widescreen without the black border or is that something i have to live with...as i know most arcade games where 4:3

    Sorry, no idea, I don't think any real arcade games were 16:9 until recent years which probably aren't emulated yet
    But if you want authentic arcade graphics for the classics I'd use a 4:3 TV and arcadeVGA/soft15 through RGB scart.
    there's tonnes of 4:3 tv's available for free, I a few a day in the ikea recycling hut.
