Blaze Dreamcast VGA box power issue

Has with a Blaze VGA box ever turned their Dreamcast on with the box connected only to not have any signal, and the VGA box power LED not light up?

Does anyone know to test the internals?

Re: GAME GEARing like a boss

The Mega Man game was pretty sweet. It was a remix of several Mega Man titles, though I believe there are differences.


Also, look into getting the rechargeable battery pack which screws onto the back of the game gear

Good luck finding one of these!



I love that guy's reviews. It's probably because we share similar tastes for awesome games.

Sega has a power bar / power strip

I actually had been looking for a power strip for all my old systems when I came across this awesome blast from the past.

Can't really find them anywhere though. Of course I checked eBay. Anyone selling these? I remember they were pretty common back then.

Difference between Official Sega AV cable & Retrobit

I have heard of color variations and other issues when people use their AC adapters on SNES and NES.

I saw them selling a gold-plated AV cable for Sega Genesis. Has anyone compared the quality to an official Sega AV cable? I have a model 2 but currently only RF :(

Re: Dreamcast VGA box vs VGA cable?

Either way. I recommend the Blaze VGA box. It has the best quality image of all VGA box or cable I have ever used for the DC. It even has passthrough for video (composite and s-video) and audio (digital and analog) just in case the game you're playing doesn't support VGA output.

I heard the version that the Assembler crew have is mostly barren of enemies.

Re: Tails

I like how they give Tails his own ending in Sonic 2 and Sonic 3. Even though he wasn't the headline character, he still got the respect of the developers to put in the end sequence for his character. I am not too much a fan of the voice of new, Dreamcast and beyond Tails. I thought the Adventures o...

Exactly what I'd do.



Wow! I didn't even consider that. Probably cheaper and a lot less hassle to get one of these. Thanks guys.

Re: Warning Forever

I remember introducing this game to my school by playing it in a computer lab room. One kid asks what it is and then it slowly invaded all the screens in the computer labs. Solid game and solid indie developer although haven't heard much from this guy in years ( http://www18.big.or.jp/~hikoza/ ) If ...
