Just bought my first VGA adapter

Post by zarathstra »

Wish me luck! I'm finally taking the plunge and getting the most out of my Dreamcast. I went ahead and purchased everything through the Racketboy store. Figured I might as well support the site at the same time!

Dreamcast games look great in VGA!

1. Be sure the HD or Monitor supports 640x480.
2. A few Dreamcast games are not VGA compatible.
3. If you have a VGA CRT Monitor, the Lightgun works!

Rock on zarathstra. I highly suggest playing Propeller Arena and Outtrigger with it.

Definitely Propeller Arena. I have no clue why, but, the game looks like absolute shit over composite and svideo, but looks amazing over VGA.
