Yeah I'm pretty sure I've seen a list on here too. Trickstyle just comes to mind first because its the one game from that list that I have put the most hours into.

Besides. The list of US titles that flat out doesn't support VGA thru any means is fairly small. Maybe 11-15 titles.

I've seen various lists, too, but none of them have been comprehensive. For instance, I recall that VGA works on the NTSC-U Skies of Arcadia, but it doesn't work on the PAL version, or something like that. It would just be nice to have the information for every game in one place.

My VGA cable works fine plus it came with a RCA to 3.5mm adapter and a VGA gender bender (nice, although it is not needed).

As far as a list goes, I found this:

The first one is not in English, but is readable (ja = yes, nein = no).

Well, I can now vouch for the Tomee VGA cable. The picture looks great, and it's quite a bargain compared to most VGA boxes. If you haven't splurged on VGA for your DC yet, I'd call this an excellent way to do so.

So, what's the verdict, guys?

Looking to get back into the Dreamcast scene some. Really craving some Sonic Adventure and Tokyo Xtreme Racer. VGA would be a massive upgrade, considering I currently use composite. The price of VGA cables/boxes for the DC has always put me off, but these cables are definitely in my price range.

I personally probably wouldn't bother with these cables and instead get an actual VGA box. The Retro-bit V2 can be found on eBay for less than $25. It's what I have and I like it because you can switch between VGA and composite if you have to. And I use mine with an Atlona HDMI upscaler.

^ I'm thinking of buying one of those fancy Turkish VGA boxes Adam Koralik recommends. But I'm not a millionaire yet.

Does anyone have both of these, so we could do a side by side comparison?
