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!

Dreamcast VS Cable Questions
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.

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...

Re: Dreamcast VS Cable Questions
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...
