I had a look at your old thread and I don't think you ever posted any pics of the cab in the end?

Would be easier to troubleshoot if we could see what kind of cab it is

What made you buy that stuff?

To turn it into a Mame machine, you need to buy a Jpac. This allows you to connect your pc to the jamma harness, your video card to your monitor, & arcade controls to your pc - all in one little unit.

That stick & buttons is likely overpriced for what they are too, but they'll do the job for you

So no one can help me? all i wanna know is how to power my monitor so it turns on when i turn my mame machine on

Is your monitor powering on now as is? If so, you don't need to do anything with it.

Just get a jpac as Enternow said, and use it to wire your machine to a computer.

Then plug in your arcade machine as normal, and plug in your PC too.
