Dreamcast VGA mod slight problem....

Post by spinksy »

Right, I have just completed the VGA mod on a Dreamcast of mine. (done this twice before with no problems).

Put it back together again and all works ok apart from the screen is slightly off centre on my TV.

Theres about an inch gap on the left hand side of the TV - this maybe something to do with my TV, I'm not sure.

Is there anything I could have done wrong to cause this?

Any help is appreciated.

Is it the same TV you've used previously? Maybe the sync is off? I don't know enough about VGA signals.

Seems the answer is that the TV isnt upscaling it properly - apperantly quite common when doing the VGA mod on old consoles.

If your TV won't do 640x480 VGA, that's possible.
