Know before you buy
Yes. The device features a 15KHz/31KHz mode switch, allowing you to output to standard VGA monitors or connect to older CRT displays via the Euro Scart port.
No, the Toro is powered directly by the Dreamcast console, so no external power supply or batteries are required to operate the scanline generator or video output.
The generator adds horizontal lines to the video signal to mimic the look of classic CRT displays. You can adjust the width and toggle between even or odd scanline types to suit your visual preference.
While most Dreamcast games support VGA, a small number of titles are incompatible with 31KHz signals. The 15KHz mode allows you to bypass these limitations by outputting through the Scart port to a compatible display.
You will need a standard RCA stereo cable (red and white connectors) to connect the adapter to your speakers, soundbar, or receiver.
These settings determine how the sync signal is sent to your display. CSYNC is typically used for cleaner signals on specific Scart setups, while H&V SYNC is the standard for most VGA monitors.
