    I didn't check a whole lot but I found some that were upwards of 70 bucks which is just frickin insane. This one for just over 25. Don't know about shipping but the site said it does deliver to Canada.

    You should really try clicking google sometimes.

    Cheapest way is just to make one

    I can give you plenty of info for that if needs be, it's not all that hard to do and can look very nice if you build it inside the Dreamcast and way cheaper than buying one

    I hit lucky on ebay for mine was about £7 it was a VGA box though not a cable, the difference is you can switch between A/V and VGA, when I get round to it though I still want to make an internal mod for my Dreamcast

    Edit maybe I should sell mine My VGA box how much

    cheapest I seen at eBay Approximately US $39.82 Imported from the UK

    I checked amazon aswell... erm no way $74+

    There are other gudes aswell, some are more complicated though and do a lil more than add a VGA + sound port, but I love the aboves basics more

    If you get into that you can also do your own SD card mod if you wanted aswell, mostly for homebrew but the odd retail game will also run ok from it

    i think i will buy that one from Aliexpress, i suck at making electronics even if it would get me a better image having it connected straight to the dreamcast

    also, i did google it, i just couldnt find anything under the $40 mark
