Dreamcast VGA Adapter

[mosdef]

Does anyone have any experiences with VGA Adapters for Dreamcast? I'm looking for one. What's a good one and where can I buy it?

I have one that I got from Electronics Boutique. I forget what brand it is...but it works great.

I have one. If you're interested in buying PM me. It has svidea out, A/V out, VGA connect (of course), support for 4 speakers or two headphone sets. It's in perfect condition.

not all games work with the vga adapter as far as i know...

 

[Deeko]

I've never seen one that didn't. And supposedly, if you have one that doesn't, you can start with the regular A/V cable and then switch to the monitor after it turns on, but I haven't tried it, cause I've never played a game that didn't work.

I *think* some imports have trouble with the vga box. I could be wrong. It's happened before

If you happen to have a backup of a game you legally own, you can hack the ip.bin file to give it vga support.

There are games that don't work with vga box, and no switching/plugging/unplugginng will make it work. I have proof in the shelf of games sitting behind me

I have one that can switch between VGA and TV out. While it is kinda pointless it makes the swap trick easier, you just hit a switch and because my dreamcast sits next to my pc, if I have a TV out only game I simply connect the SVideo up to my pc and get it going from there.

You should get a DC vga cable - these work with every game.

beat mania. Sorry, but i dont get it. your previous post said it doesnt work with all games, and this next post says the DC VGA cable works with all games. Im not sure what you mean.

I just recieved that levelsix.com vga cable (no box. just a cable) and it doesnt work with virtual tennis.... (which sucks because i want that on my monitor.)

mosdef-

you started a similar post a few days ago and said you got the naki box for 9.99 at buy.com. What happened with that? did it suck? I have the blaze box but im returning it because of the vga cable i got at levelsix.com. it was cheaper, but the picture looks the same on both.

mine is damn coo. i love it on my 19" .20 Samsung.

I've wondered about the VGA box. How does sound get out and does it require it's own monitor connection or does it act as a pass-thru from the PC?
