| The idea | [cacher] |
| The image on a TV is always a little too blurry for my taste, and the
quality of a VGA image is very superior. I had always dreamed to be able to use my SNES on a PC monitor, but the SNES did not have a VGA output. When I learned that the Dreamcast could output a VGA signal, I installed a VGA connector on it almost instantly. |
| How it works | [cacher] |
| Simple. The dreamcast can output VGA from it's A/V output it the rigth pin
is connected to ground. This is usually done by a VGA box. I found the pinout of the A/V connector and a shematic for a VGA box. Instead of building the circuit in an external box, I decided to build it inside the dreamcast. Parts needed:
Here is the shematic:  I got it on this site: http://www.gamesx.com/avpinouts/dricas.htm More info: I have been asked a few times one which side should the negative pin of the capacitors go. They must be on the VGA connector side. The same rule apply for the S-Video output. I used 1N4148 diodes. |
