I used off-the-shelf parts to build it so it will probably be about half the price. This current version, like the Akura, doesn't do upconversion so it's not going to work with capture devices like the Elgato that don't support 640x480 over HDMI. I am looking into making a version that does do upconversion however.

Do you happen to know the name of the brand and if they sell it outside of their website?
Because upscaled 720p Dreamcast sounds neat.

Re: New Dreamcast HDMI Box!!!!
Yes. It's essentially a VGA box so it will work with VGA-compatible games as well as games that can be tricked into working with a boot disc.The-Amazing-Mr_V wrote:Can one assume that this works for vga compatible games only?

Looks like they also want to compete for Dreamcast Users too
A new component cable is in the works!

Re: New Dreamcast HDMI Box!!!!
Yeah that's been there for a long time now. It's just a possibility that they might pursue in the future. As far as I know, I don't think they've even released their original product, the Genesis/SNES component cable, yet.Xiden wrote:A new component cable is in the works!
