Recently reading up on playing Dreamcast games in 1080p. Apparently this can be done using a VGA cord and and VGA/HDMI adapter. Has anyone done this? Does it make it look any better? |

You mean the Dreamcast VGA cable? It'll be in 640x480, that's hardly HD. It does look a lot better though. Some games have compatibility issues though, look it up. Only way you'll get HD out of Dreamcast is to emulate. |

Yeah, its using the dreamcast VGA cable and a vga/hdmi cable together. |

Looks great on my 55'. But i doubt you notice the difference if you spring for that vga to hdmi. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-Dreamcast-VGA-Cable-VGA-Box-NEW-/221000903857?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item3374ae2cb1 This is the best and clearest one. (at least of the 2 that i own) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-Dreamcast-VGA-Box-adapter-/270956505368?pt=AU_Video_Game_Accessories&hash=item3f16442918 This one I own also. It gets the job done but it has these barely, but visible, box pattern. Something like a Burberry box pattern. I obviously didn't pay what they are charging now but yea if you want it. There it is. |

If your TV has a VGA port and can do 640x480 then don't use the HDMI convertor there's no reason to upscale the Dreamcast to HD resolution if your TV is more than capable of doing 640x480. Also by keeping it VGA, your keeping the signal analog which is what the Dreamcast was intended to output in the first place. |
