How to Get the Best Picture out of your Sega Dreamcast

[@skybluerob8850]

I use a VGA to HDMI adapter to connect my Dreamcast to the TV and I find that the picture looks great. The only issue that I have is that some games are not VGA compatible which forces me to change to an RGB scart cable every time I want to play one of those incompatible games.

Some times booting up the code breaker disc first then just simply disc swapping does work on some of those titles other wise you downloaded a patched version of the game and burn it on to disc or simple use a GDemu

There are some SCART cables that incorporate VGA box compatibility so all you have to do is flip a switch on the cable. You'll need an input that can do 480p via SCART but if you have a video scaler meant for retro games like the retrotink 5x it should be fine.

Tried the hyperkin cable but it doesn't work with my Samsung, I think I need something with a Power adapter with it like the other Hyperkin cables I have. need to think hard about this before i try something else.

I have the Kaico hdmi with the mclassic

[@Alexxx760]

Is it significantly better ? 🔥

[@ricardofranco7419]

I got a refurbished console coming in and I’ll be using a vga on it. Maybe next paycheck I’ll run it through ossc

[@kamerynhaynes7076]

Would a scart to component converter allow my to play my dreamcast on my CRT?

[@rightspritegaming]

Yes but you will be degradation the out put quality as RGB scart is the better choice

[@kamerynhaynes7076]

@Right Sprite Retro Gaming UK my CRT only has component, thanks for the response !

[@nopenop1495]

My Kaico produces vertical, gray dotted lines. Is there any way to fix this?

[@rightspritegaming]

Sounds like a faulty unit tba. I used contact them direct to amend this, but fist try a other HDmi cable and TV to see if you get the same problem

[@colossus808e]

Sounds like normal screen dithering that is naturally part of the Dreamcast’s analogue vga image.

[@eaglesmann024]

Is there anyway I can make it full screen without losing picture

[@rightspritegaming]

How do you mean 16 :9 widscreen?

[@eaglesmann024]

@@rightspritegaming yes sir

[@rightspritegaming]

@@eaglesmann024 that ll be up to your tv setting most tv give you access to that, but the game we're designed in 4:3 but you force games to feature widescreen, I also did a video on how to do that.

[@rightspritegaming]

Here's a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYTOnX-qhJKIhqs Only a a very few games actually have wide screen as a option with in the game its self to set to 16:9 because widscreen was really utilised a fair few years after the Dreamcast,

[@eaglesmann024]

@@rightspritegaming thanks mann for the info

[@ShinobiWan1]

The LevelHike hdmi adapter I have makes the screen really dark, and doesn't have a 4:3 option. They told me to adjust the values and screen size on my TV, but it doesn't really work for recording with my setup. I think I'll try going the OSSC route

[@rightspritegaming]

ossc route does have the better output then the rest, really happy with mine

[@rightspritegaming]

Yeah sorry about the audio still trying to get better with the software, the standerd vga great

[@letsgonow5641]

@@rightspritegaming No worries i just wanted to let you know in case you were not aware...Good stuff keep it coming!

[@phgkeets12]

Hello I dug my Dreamcast out for first time in 20 years and plugged into my 2009 Panasonic Plasma using a composite cable plugged into a SCART connector. I have an issue whereby the output is more to the left of the screen and isn't central. Also I tried played Sonic and it appears to be missing the top of the screen. I have tried playing around with my TV settings but not sure how to resolve can you help please? kind regards

[@Brandt85]

try turning your tv on after your dreamcast has booted.

[@aaaaaasafafasfasfasfsaa11]

Crt scart is great

[@rightspritegaming]

Yeah the rgb output is great on crt, with 480p on a pc crt monitor, that is a step up

[@aaaaaasafafasfasfasfsaa11]

@@rightspritegaming True, I think these older consoles look way better on the crts
