Wrong colors in my dreamcast

Post by vadodetago »

Hi all,

recenlty I got a dreamcast and sadly output looks like this:


Cable seems to be ok and the funny thing is that after few mins of gameplay slowly a little bit of red shows up. So I assume it has to be something with with connections on a chip or so. Before getting deeper into it I would like to ask you as you have more expereince and maybe it's a known issue.

Thanks in advance,
:D

Hi,

What kind of cables are you using?

Looks like a faulty VGA cable. I've had 2 standard VGA cables do this. Jiggle it and it might temporarily fix the picture or try a different cable
