Know before you buy
Yes, this cable is compatible with all standard Sega Dreamcast models. It is designed to plug directly into the console's video output port.
Most Dreamcast games support VGA output, but a small number of titles are incompatible. If a game does not support VGA, you may need to use a standard AV cable or a specialized boot disc to force compatibility.
This cable includes integrated RCA audio connectors. You simply plug the red and white RCA cables into your TV, monitor, or external sound system to get audio while the VGA end handles the video signal.
Yes, the VGA connection provides a significantly sharper image with better color accuracy and clarity. By outputting at 640 x 480, it eliminates the blurriness often associated with standard composite AV cables.
This cable outputs a VGA signal, so it will not plug directly into an HDMI port. To use it with an HDMI-only display, you will need a separate VGA-to-HDMI active converter.
