DUHMEZ Dreamcast VGA Mode Progressive Scan 640x480 Demonstration

Behold the mighty Sega Dreamcast VGA box. It is a neat little gadget that let's you get the best possible picture quality out of your Sega Dreamcast. It is important to note that this box does not merely take the composite(crappy) video signal and upscale/convert it to VGA mode, the dreamcast is actualy designed to be able to output this mode. As such, you can only lpay certain games using this box that suport the feature, but fear not for those games that do not work this VGA box has an S-Video switch/composite switch so you can easily toggle as needed.

doesn't it look way overstretched with a projector? and you have a vga connection on your projector I assume?

[duhmez]

@drunkensailor112 It is not stretched at all, the projector has settings for 16x9 and 4x3 aspect ratios. And yes the projector has vga input. It looks amazing; the best the dreamcast can put out. Obviously an HD source with an HD projector would be ever clearer and better, but it is stil fantastic. Movies and tv shows are awqesome on this thing too.

[drunkensailor112]

@duhmez holy crap man. long time ago a friend told me consoles looked best on projectors back then. knowing now that you can actually output vga on projector I REALLY want one. what can you advise me?

[duhmez]

@drunkensailor112 most consoles cannot output vga; the dreamcast can and so can old xbox 360. But that is OK it is fantastic with component cables or HDMI as well. I can advise you to get a "theatre" projector, one that has a native 16:9 pixel ratio. So avoid one that is like 800x600 or 1024x768. Try to get one 720p or 1080p widescreen. Also make sure it has vga if u wanna use dreamcast this way obviously.

eek lsd flashback

[duhmez]

@duhmez The only reasno to use the yelow is if u r poor and tv has no yellow.

[evelskunny]

never use the yellow,lol thats funny''I recently got back into the dreamcast & have been using the dreaded yellow cable''lol but it looks great on my 32'' Dynex Lcd but wanna get into a VGA Box or the new cable I saw with S video''and ya I never saw a Vga to Hdmi Until my friend from verizon gave it to me'thanx for ya info and video demo''

[duhmez]

@evelskunny Ive never seen vga to hdmi before, but if it works go ahead and use that. Being that it is converted to hdmi, it may be not quite as good as straight vga, who knows I've never heard of that.

[duhmez]

@evelskunny If it is S video, then yes it will be a huge improvement. S video will have somehtinglike 4 little pins and a plastic chunk. Much better than the yellow, never ever use the yelolow video cable.

[evelskunny]

me again,what it is the best connection out of the vga ? s video,only cause my friend gave me a cable,that is vga on one end and hdmi at the other ? never saw one of theese before,the manual on the tv says hdmi is a better conection to hook up a PC THAN VGA
