Ah - i see - that's a little trickier - uses RGB from what I recall.
I had a similar roadblock many moons ago and ripped out the cabinet CRT and put in a normal TV CRT - tried that for a while and then just moved to LCD. Back then getting the arcade crt working was more hassle than it was worth and I opted for an easier path.

Getting a normal cheap CRT tv with RCA might be a cheaper option - those things sell for dirt cheap. I can appreciate you wanting to keep the whole 'old school' look and feel with staying original though

Used GameX on the cabinet and PinballX on my virtual pin.
Wanted to keep the frontends sort of consistent from the same developers on both.
GameX works really well

Thanks for the update - if I ever decide to build another cabinet will consider keeping the CRT

Saw it's relatively inexpensive on Amazon
