If you don't run your Dreamcast VGA, you're a scrub.

Wow that's a cheap way to go about it too. Only downer is I don't see an RCA option for the few games that won't run and I think I may own one of those which is a problem. I've got around $40 in amazon credit so it would be free too if that worked out.


If someone could get the retrobit adapter that's been around under many makers for over 10 years along with a VGA to HDMI cable wouldn't that work as well/better too?

Might be the only reason to keep my 32" Samsung around. It has some other weird inputs too (sadly no s-video though).

Or are gaming on a CRT TV.

True, but if you're debating going VGA, then that's not your issue.

Okay, you know what? I don't need you Europeans teasing us lowly Americans with your SCART superiority. We already feel bad enough having been deprived of it.

Hey, we also get letterboxed games that run at 87% of the usual speed. Let us have our one thing :lol:

Fair point. PAL is a pretty unfortunate standard for SD (although you did get slightly higher resolution with your 576 vs our 480, so there's that).

I had a great pickup yesterday of three PS2 games. Spent 25 Canadian Dollars for these.
