Now I have my Dreamcast hooked up to my HDTV, and it looks phenominal. Any tips for using my import boot disc with the VGA connection though? I have a DC-X Import Boot disc, and I wasn't able to get it to load.
I suggest anyone that has their Dreamcast setup with the VGA cable try playing Daytona USA on it, I never saw that game look so amazing.
Some games will not work with VGA and DC-X, like Shenmue II PAL, but otherwise should be fine.

I could not get the DC-X disc to load, any suggestions?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you will not see the DC-X loading screen! Once you hear the DC-X disc load and stop spinning, open the lid and put in your import. I just tried a few games and they all worked fine like this.
So, it works normally, but the DC-X loading screen with the loading arrows will not display through VGA (at least not for me).

Some are, some aren't. If you have a UG account the "Dreamcast Game Catalog" says which are and aren't, I think.

Do not have an account on that site.

I used DC-X to play my Shenmue 2 retail copy in VGA...

I've never been able to get it to work. Mine is also a retail copy. I had read in other forums that this game had problems displaying through the VGA cable so I gave up.
If you have any suggestions, let me know! I get audio, but no visual. Edit: I'm trying to play it on an HDTV instead of a computer monitor, if that makes any difference.
