I have a Dreamcast (US), a bunch of games (J), a "VGA ADAPTER FOR SEGA DREAMCAST PERFORMANCE", and a DC boot disc, which if I recall has a reindeer that shows on boot up but it might be a different disc, a VGA monitor, and no TV. This boot disc doesn't display it's start up screen on a VGA monitor under normal circumstances.
Using very tricky timing and some series of steps it was possible to boot many a game on VGA with the disc and the VGA Adapter (even some games that aren't spec'ed to show on VGA), but I forgot the timing/methods (the lack of a TV makes it tougher too).
Does anyone have a method for booting foreign games to VGA? Perhapse there is a newer boot disc that loads to VGA?
Thanks in advancement!
How do you load J-games on a US-Dreamcast and VGA monitor?

Innovation has a DC import boot disc called "SGC"
At my local Gamestop in 2001, they sold the Innovation "Super Game Convertor" which allows one to boot up any original Japanese or European Dreamcast game on a USA DC console and vice versa for Japanese & USA DC games to work on a European DC console as well. It retailed for a cheap-ass $19.99 USD back in the day. The only thing this "Super Game Convertor" disc won't do is boot up CD-R copied DC games but it has to be original DC GD-Rom disc only. ^_~
Plus this "Super Game Convertor" disc has built-in support for PAL RGB and DC VGA Box compatibility also.
Back in the early 1990's, Innovation was known as the "Utimate Video Game Club" based out of CT, USA that sold import video game consoles + import game software too for the USA market. ^_~
