Quick Question: Binary Star DC VGA Box

Post by Lythinca »

Hey guys. Someone near me is selling a Dreamcast Binary Star VGA box. It looks alot like the regular VGA box and I was wondering:

Is the Binary Star VGA Box: Any good? Like is it a good quality and good support VGA box?

Thanks.

EDIT: It looks alot like the regular DC VGA Box. Heres a pic of both:

^Thats the Binary Star.

^Thats the regular VGA Box.

Both look similar to each other, and if you look on the Binary Star VGA Box, you can see the space that usually says "DC VGA BOX". The sticker isnt in the space as it looks to have been peeled off.

So both look similar, and both appear to have a space for a sticker that would say "DC VGA BOX".

What do you guys think? Do you guys think these are the same?

That one you showed from Znet is the exact unit racket sells. Just save yourself some trouble and buy one here.

Or if you want a straight cable.

I use the box and it is perfect ( save the fact that the RCA sockets are a little flimsy)

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad.

I would buy one from here, but the problem is: I need this project finished before the 28th. If I order it from the Mr. Racket, it wont be finished until after the 28th. But if I order it from canada it will be here tomorrow. Like, for $23 I get the box and free express overnight shipping, Its worth a shot.

You said yourself that it looks like pretty much the same cable with just the sticker missing on one. If time is of importance, then sure give it shot. It is probably the same unit.
