VGA for Dreamcast?

Postby hiro94 » Fri Feb 05, 2016 4:48 pm

Hey guys I finally broke down and bought a Retrobit VGA box along with the audio splitter cable and a VGA to hdmi box because my T.V does not have VGA. I am at work right now but my brother tried hooking it up for the first time today and he said it's not working. I bought the proper Vga cable and my Hdmi box has a power supply so what could I be missing.(of course he could just not know what the heck he is doing lol) (btw I have a 32 inch 2014 Vizio L.E.D TV)

here is what I am using

Likely a problem with the VGA to HDMI converter, but I would expect it to at least output something. I have the same thing, and it doesn't completely fill out a 16:9 display. Cheap Chinese crap ](*,)

I bet your brother didn't set the switch on the VGA box correctly. It says "PC" and "TV" instead of "VGA" and "S-video/RCA." He probably set it to "TV." I also have the same one, but I've been very happy with it.

You should google! lol jk man. But yeah there's a ton of different boot options available. This is the one I use. ISO is still good. Burnt a new copy to test before posting the link for you. Alcohol 120 and burn slowest speed. If the CDRs you are using are super cheap quality that can play a part in your burn discs not working.
