Dreamcast VGA- Will SVGA cord work?

Post by evil_ash_xero »

I just ordered a VGA box for my Dreamcast, but I keep seeing tons of SVGA cords on Ebay. Will these work, or do I need to get VGA specifically?

Yes, SVGA cables will work fine. They are the same 15pin cables. The "S" in "SVGA" merely indicates resolutions higher than 640x480, which did mean something about cable quality 20 years ago, but doesn't mean much today.
