Is it a service to mod your Dreamcast or an actual Dreamcast console?

Whaaaat?

Dreamcast spits out native 31KHz RGB+HV. It's a dodgey back-yeard solder job.

ok, after re-reading the auction is seems that the modem unit is now an internal speaker, powered by the modem cord. the rgb port supports a ps2 rgb cable.

You don't need an additional graphic card. The DC onboard graphic chips could output VGA graphic. IIRC if you short a certain pin at the vedio/audio pinout, the system would change to VGA mode. :o

In order to be able to use with 15KHz and the 31KHz both corresponding monitor, it is the sufficient cable which makes the plug general-purpose type exchange. When it is needed, it is embarrassed, but we request the burden of separate 480 Yen.
