Heh heh, great video! Informative and amusing at the same time. Your highly animated hands alone have got a lot more personality than a lot of TV presenters I can think of!
Nice, educational video! Might have to pick this up, though I like my VGA pretty well. My TV only does 720p so I don't need the HDMI 1080p conversion, this might be worth the $38. I only wish that Plasma Sword, one of my personal favorite DC games, worked with the VGA box, grrrr. I'm eager to see Soul Calibur and Toy Commander all spruced up!
Picked up my Sports Black Dreamcast today.....just ordered up all the parts for my 720P :) Guys if you are wondering just get the VGA cable off Ebay (about $25) and they have the video converter on Amazon for $38 the company that makes it is Linkstyle
@AdamKoralik You can upscale an image to be 720p with an upscaling device. Just because it's upscaled doesn't mean the image is interlaced. So by saying this my point is this is not true 720!
Nice, planning to pick this up soon. I'm pretty satisfied with my VGA box personally, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to get a better picture quality, especially since it isn't that expensive.
I know that you're a huge fan of Shenmue. I picked up my copy in great condition for $30 recently and I'm very eager to see what the fuss is about. But I'm gonna wait until I get this converter box before playing it for the first time.
did you try street fighter 3 double impact in 720p if not can you post a video of it.also if you could do resident evil 2 and 3 as well that be great thanks.
Hey adam, got my hd converter but have a strange problem that no one can help me with. when i set my box to 420p or 720p the screen flickers but on 1080i it does not. still looks awsome but i wanted 720p.. any ideas would be much appriciated... thanks
Hey Adam, does your converter work with your PAL Dreamcasts as well? I live in Australia and would like to get one of these for my setup. The difference in power plugs and voltage I can get around but I need to know if it will work with a PAL signal. Cheers.
@TheBigClaw It should. The Dreamcast VGA box works fine with my European Dreamcast. So, my guess is that output would work. But I haven't actually tested it.
Hey bro, great vid on that beautiful picture! I just had a question. I'm confused as to whether or not i still need a VGA box (with) this device. Should I buy both of em?
@AdamKoralik I'm surprised you didnt try that route yet. I saw another vid on here and it didnt look as crisp as the 720P on yours, but maybe you can find one with a selector.
If I get this, I always have adjust the settings every time I want to play the DREAMCAST? And why can't I just get the computer cable and plug it in? If I have that white thing and a PC cable and a HD TV why can't I do that?
@AdamKoralik ok i will be honest, i just bought my new Dreamcast and all i know it brings the component cables (YRW) since i dont know about this setup much. If you can private me what i have to buy based on my new Sony PS3 LED TV. I really want my dreamcast to look like this since my monitor is beast. All i know is that i have Component with R/L, 2HDMI and Headphone jack. Please help me i buy anything to play my classic games like shenmue,sega bass fshing,resident evil,parasite eve ect... Tha
Adam, i sold my Samsung that had VGA but now i have the PS3 Sony 3D Display will i be available to do this on my new monitor? It only has HDMI and Component cables plus a headphone jack. Let me know and nce setup man.
@Willo3G I had a box that took VGA/Component and upscaled/converted to HDMI. The VGA box i had for my Dreamcast was a dud, however, the component worked. So i used my original XBox and overall it worked pretty well. Based on my experience this would work fine.
Could you have a look at my Jet Grind Radio LP and tell me if it looks better than it would if I used this method to record it? Thanks in advance if you do.
@AdventureAndySnM If you're using real hardware, then this is the best. But that video looks to be in widescreen so I'm guessing you played it on an emulator.
@AdventureAndySnM I haven't used the emulator. So I really can't say. I would assume if the emulator is running perfectly (I hate emulators personally) then the emulator probably looks better.
Back when I first got the original Dreamcast, I was stuck in Salt Lake City, UT for the Jobcorps and we only had TVs with RF. I didn't mind cause the game was so amazing, it was worth playing in any video signal.
@AdamKoralik Hey great video fella, i just recieved my hd converter havn't hooked it up yet just trying to decide weather to connect to my tv using vga or componet what do ya think? thanks....
I cant find a box like your one. I found a VGA to HDMI box. Do you think i'll get good results if I bought that or its better to find a VGA to composite box?
@tingfung01 It sold out like a few minutes after I made this video. I've considered getting a VGA to HDMI adapter to try that myself. I just haven't been motivated enough yet to spend the money. The reason I did this, honestly, was just so I could capture the footage since I can't capture VGA or HDMI footage.
I LMAO when I saw the 480i and RF Shenmue II versions. Cool always trying to bring the Dreamcast in HD eh Adam? And where do you shop when looking for Flat Screen TVs? Every flat screen TV I've had has had VGA computer connections. Tube TVs (actual television sets) are very hard to find with a VGA connection, aside from being a monitor.
I got this to work but couldnt get it to work through the component cables it worked through my VGA port on my Samsung LCD..So how would u transfer the signal through the component not the VGA?
@AdamKoralik Or maybe i hooked it up wrong?I cant say I had the dreamcast going through input,had the the the samsung lcd on output,and had the component hooked up through one of my hd selector it worked only on 480/600 on the PC section I cant say
I tried a set up like this back when i had my HDTV. My HD box thing can use component/Vga to HDMI, that box works, as i tested it with the original XBox with component. My VGA box for Dreamcast was dead on arrival sadly
dude i don't mind people's opinions but really you bash on RF WAY!!! to much i still play my dreamcast in RF and ive compared it multiple times to AVI or VGA and sure they look better but i don't give a damn its better then swaping out about 30 to 40 different cords just to play it. and personally i think VGA is stupid to use if i was to use it it would be for my hd monitor and not my fucking television
@AdamKoralik i meant big hd tv's, like mine which is 2 years old samsung 40" lcd it has vga, mate every hd tv today has vga. really is silly what you did
@AdamKoralik I fell in love with a HUGE Mitsubishi 80" DLP that was reasonably priced. And the first thing I thought of was, how I wanted to pair my awesome little DC with this beautiful large display. And then I saw that it had NO VGA connection. It's not even an option on any Mitsu DLP!
So, because my DC comes first, I bagged on getting the purdy DLP.
But now, with your adaptor discovery and info, I will get to see my little-white-box-of-awesomeness display in all its 80" glory.
@RETRONGAMES79 Actually it's a model that came out this year. The reason I went with a plasma was because it was one of the few models in my price range that didn't have a complete crap out when I sent it a low res signal from an older video game system and had no noticeable input lag. That's why moron.
@SegaFanatic5188 in that tv, there is nothing at 240p, not even youtube, as far as i can tell there is no lag at all, not from satellite, or from the bluray player, or form the appletv.
@RETRONGAMES79 Yes because you can clearly measure input lag from something that requires little to no input at all.
As for 240p, hook up an old system like a Sega Genesis or an SNES and see what happens. Many HDTVs see this as 480i which results in a multitude of problems such as choppy framerate, jittery picture, and odd artifacts.
@SegaFanatic5188 for old consoles, and any console, Plasma tvs are the best
they work well with any kind of resolution always showing a great quality, even when receiving high or low resolution, the quality is always good.
and LCD, LED only works well if you receive signal resolution equal to its native resolution, if you receive signal below its native resolution, they destroy the image quality with blurry jaggies, etc. laags.
@TheFred128 Plasma TVs have fixed resolutions, just as LCDs. If you want to have non-interpolated variable resolutions, you have to use a CRT or some other analog panel device.
@81kingtut I like the plasmas, they work well with all types of resolution, low and high
and are good with older consoles as well.
but lcd, led only shows a good quality image to receive a signal with a resolution equal to its native resolution, and if the LCD, LED has a native resolution of 720p only going to be really good if you get 720p or higher, if only native 1080p will be good if you get 1080p, or very close.
@ANDYxHAMILL If you could get a SCART to HDMI adapter, why would you then change if back to an inferior analogue signal by then converting it to component?
@ANDYxHAMILL I don't think it would change anything. The box would probably require a step down (or step up) converter though because the electrical standard is different.
schrodingers youtube video! for you, in the past, at least. are there any of vga--> component boxes that are purely analogue electronics with no digital scalers? because really the minimum you need to convert vga to component is some op-amps and flat panel scalers are usually better than the cheap scaler electronics in these boxes.
Just watched this and I bought one before the video was done playing to add to my vga adapter that I got the day before watching this. Both items will be mounted internally once the stuff comes in the mail. Gotta hate living on a ranch at times.

@SegaFanatic5188 who da fuck buys plasma today? you are buying some shitty 4 year old tv, thats why moron
RETRONGAMES79 2 months ago
@RETRONGAMES79 Actually it's a model that came out this year. The reason I went with a plasma was because it was one of the few models in my price range that didn't have a complete crap out when I sent it a low res signal from an older video game system and had no noticeable input lag. That's why moron.

@SegaFanatic5188 well they are at least comfortable with the LED i bought them, no shitty plasma for them...

@RETRONGAMES79 That's nice. Tell me how well it handles a 240p signal and how bad it's input lag is.
SegaFanatic5188 2 months ago
@SegaFanatic5188 in that tv, there is nothing at 240p, not even youtube, as far as i can tell there is no lag at all, not from satellite, or from the bluray player, or form the appletv.
RETRONGAMES79 2 months ago
@RETRONGAMES79 Yes because you can clearly measure input lag from something that requires little to no input at all.
As for 240p, hook up an old system like a Sega Genesis or an SNES and see what happens. Many HDTVs see this as 480i which results in a multitude of problems such as choppy framerate, jittery picture, and odd artifacts.

@SegaFanatic5188 for old consoles, and any console, Plasma tvs are the best
they work well with any kind of resolution always showing a great quality, even when receiving high or low resolution, the quality is always good.
and LCD, LED only works well if you receive signal resolution equal to its native resolution, if you receive signal below its native resolution, they destroy the image quality with blurry jaggies, etc. laags.
Plasma has always been better than LCD, LED
TheFred128 2 months ago
@TheFred128 Plasma TVs have fixed resolutions, just as LCDs. If you want to have non-interpolated variable resolutions, you have to use a CRT or some other analog panel device.

@81kingtut I like the plasmas, they work well with all types of resolution, low and high
and are good with older consoles as well.
but lcd, led only shows a good quality image to receive a signal with a resolution equal to its native resolution, and if the LCD, LED has a native resolution of 720p only going to be really good if you get 720p or higher, if only native 1080p will be good if you get 1080p, or very close.

hello! how does vga direct to tv compare to this 720 component connection? great video btw. DREAMCST FOR LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

@neoknux009 Its pretty similar, personally I prefer the 720p upscaled image. The color is better.

*gives crap* the benefit of this setup is that ur viewing 480p rather than 480i.

480i is washed out and blurry, 720p is sharper and more colorful.

wouldn't it be easier to get a scart-to-hdmi adapter and then plug a hdmi-to-component cable into the adapter?
ANDYxHAMILL 3 months ago
@ANDYxHAMILL SCART doesn't exist in North America, so no.

@AdamKoralik but in england where there is scart would it work?
ANDYxHAMILL 3 months ago
@ANDYxHAMILL I don't know, I can't test it.
AdamKoralik 3 months ago
@ANDYxHAMILL If you could get a SCART to HDMI adapter, why would you then change if back to an inferior analogue signal by then converting it to component?
nekomacouk 3 months ago
@nekomacouk i'm thinking for recording with a roxio where you need component cables!
ANDYxHAMILL 3 months ago
do you need the code breaker if you're using component? does living in england change anything?
ANDYxHAMILL 3 months ago
@ANDYxHAMILL I don't think it would change anything. The box would probably require a step down (or step up) converter though because the electrical standard is different.
AdamKoralik 3 months ago
schrodingers youtube video! for you, in the past, at least. are there any of vga--> component boxes that are purely analogue electronics with no digital scalers? because really the minimum you need to convert vga to component is some op-amps and flat panel scalers are usually better than the cheap scaler electronics in these boxes.

Just watched this and I bought one before the video was done playing to add to my vga adapter that I got the day before watching this. Both items will be mounted internally once the stuff comes in the mail. Gotta hate living on a ranch at times.
