    the above is also my VGA compat list but they are all personly tested... (I do have more games to add to that (Just PAL region games though no new games) another member helped me with the list just not had time to add the info/credit him)

    All the games I have are selfbooting (though I want to download them all again some time)

    Welcome to the world of dreamcast

    P.S. there are some new releases on the Dreamcast in the form of jap space shooters, well recent years, not sure how long ago the last one was made, there are also a few newer english games that are already listed in the list I linked that are also from recent years
    Thanks

    What's this VGA compatibility about?

    You can get a vga /box/adapter for it. It's freaking sweet. I had one. Why the hell did I ever sell my DC?

    Yes, but what's the advantage? Just so you can play on a monitor?

    I imagine it would look less shitty on an HDTV as well though I don't know because I only play on an SDTV. Some of the official SEGA brand accessories are really overpriced now, unsure about the VGA box. I know something I was looking at recently was overpriced. Might have been the adapter.

    you better believe it.


    You can really tell the difference.

    Most games are compatible with it too.

    Very sexy looking graphics very sharp, transparencies seem to work alot beter aswell in VGA compared to Scart and AV

    Some games though, very few either do not work in VGA mode or will look a lil beter on a standard AV or Scart connection (though those games tend to be 320x240 display that looks pixcelated in VGA but most games are 640x480 that looks very nice in VGA)
