Dreamcast VGA Cables

Post by evil_ash_xero »

What kind should I get? I see the official ones on Ebay, but they're like 150 dollars. Anybody recommend any of the other ones?

The only thing that differs is the built-quality. In terms of picture quality they're all about the same as the DC outputs native VGA already. The VGA cables just shorten the right pin to enable VGA.

Given the fact that there are games which don't work with VGA (e.g. Bangaioh), I would recommend to get a VGA output along with on/off switch installed directly into your DC. Makes it easier in the long run.

The ones with boxes have a reputation for bad audio on the phonos/RCA's.

I bought a cable and its worked since day one.

You've been warned.

This one is fine. I have it, TV switch, no audio hiss.
