Dreamcast VS Cable Questions

Post#1 » Tue May 09, 2017 11:45 am

After doing some digging I was finally able to find a Japanese website that has official Sega VS link cables. The price was reasonable considering how outrageous they go for on eBay.

A few questions: Is it possible to make a homemade link cable? The only other option I've seen is pairing 2 coders cables together.

What games support the VS link cable officially and unofficially? Cheers! :lol:

Link?...

As for making one yourself, the connector is the biggest problem. You'd have to reroute all the pins. Twice, since you'll have to link two of them, obviously...

Yes it is possible to make a homemade dreamcast vs cable. Someone on Assemblergames made one, of course the site is gone now...along with the instructions... :/

After the yen conversion I wound up paying 150 for a cable. Just waiting for the third party to ship it to the states ^^

I'm hoping to play some virtual on with this bad boy >:)

There's always the Dragoncast Vs. Link Cable. I have one I got for cheap years ago but haven't tested it yet...
