Dreamcast VGA Compatability list & Guide
Notes
- This is for ripped games only, but will apply to original GD-Roms aswell using the switch trick
- Lightguns work with CRT VGA monitors, but will not work with LCD or LED screens
- All lightgun games are region free in VGA mode
- Official Sega Light Gun hardware is region locked so go unofficial
- PAL and NTSC display the same in VGA mode
- Patching games improves VGA compatability
- VGA switch/box trick will work but can have mixed results
- booting games via CodeBreaker also improves VGA compatability
- All Mil-CD backups are region free, check here to see if your Dreamcast is Mil-CD compatible
Quick how to patch
To Patch a game to VGA open up the cdi image in a hex editor and search for "JUE " (has 2 spaces after) (Use match case) if it finds the correct pos there is a 7 number string 5 bytes after JUE, change that string to something like "0799A10". it is just the 6th number of the 7 numbers there that needs to be changed to "1", this alone enables the VGA boot
