Now thats an unfounded comment. If you know anything about PCs and TVs you can make that happen. 90% of consumer graphics cards have had atleast an Svideo port on them for the last decade. And if you have a newer tv with VGA, DVI, or HDMI ports it is a simple cable connection to make that happen. I used two 15 inch crt monitors via VGA and a 32inch crt tv via Svideo on my computer for five years before the TV stopped working.
Solid wireless peripherals, even modern console controllers, make the argument even less valid.
I am referring to running that Dreamcast not a computer with multiple outs. I was pointing out difference of running the Dreamcast on JUST on a Computer Monitor vs Large HD screen.
Ideal setup for the Dreamcast would be HD supporting full screen 640x480 VGA with VGA box having built in bypass switch to allow Non-VGA games to run through S-Video.

Haha, that's the only OT video anyone watches on my channel. Lately I've been using a controller in my left hand and a mouse in my right. Takes up a lot less space.

I'm getting it on Monday morning, I'll meet the guy when we are going to work.
Now this is going to sound alot more harsh than I meant it to be.
Let me quote you the post that was made before I made my statement:

FPS on the big screen is sooo much better.

NO where in the first post did he say that he was playing the FPS on the Dreamcast on a small computer monitor. He did say that he was playing them on his PC, to which you said that they are better on the big screen. Do you see where I am coming from?

Looks like we both are looking at the statements from 2 different perspectives. I see what you are saying and my interpretation because of initial talk about a Dreamcast keyboard. Okay thanks, Sorry I should have been more clear on my statements. Anyways Ivo hopefully you got that Dreamcast keyboard.
I never tried playing a FPS on DC unit I got a keyboard. When my keyboard came in I tried one with a normal controller for shits and giggles. I think it was Quake or Unreal Tournament. I deemed it absolutely unplayable. Naturally I then tried it with the mouse and keyboard and it was fun.
