Accurate recreation of vintage arcades is becoming increasingly difficult. CRT monitors are rare nowadays and, even if you find one, it will probably not support the 15.7Khz horizontal frequency used by many old arcades. A good alternative is a CRT TV with a SCART connector. If your system has a VGA output and you can configure it to use an horizontal frequency of 15.7Khz then you can use this adapter to connect it to the SCART input of a TV. This project is an enhanced version of my previous adapter. Visenri told me I should use a PIC16F18313 so it could generate the status signal itself. The adapter is easy to make, unexpensive and powerfull. You can se the project at https://hackaday.io/project/165634-the-ultimate-vga-to-scart-adapter.
