    Dreamcast

    Platform »

    The Dreamcast is the fifth and final console developed by Sega and the first of the sixth-generation of consoles to release. As the first 128-bit system, it was the first to offer truly arcade-quality 3D graphics. It is famous for being the first console to include worldwide online capability, its game library, and its unexpectedly short life span.

    So after my old man cleared out our family loft this weekend I found all my old consoles just waiting for me. Amongst them was my Dreamcast and of course got straight into hooking it up when I was back to my place.

    Only thing is I'm getting terrible bleeding of the image going from the TV output. My TV is a Samsung 6 series (650) so it has no end of inputs and outputs for all connections. I've checked out a few options online but wanted to get the GB community a chance to sound off if anyone has found 'THE thing' that works better than any other box/ Thing to do.

    I don't particularly want to mod my Dreamcast cause I'm to worried about breaking it. I should probably also mention that I live in the UK so it would need to work on PAL as well

    Cheers in advance duders!

    I'm not expecting it to look good but it will probably be better than the bleeding I've got right now. Its like someone got the smudge tool on Photoshop and went crazy. Thanks for the tip

    I bought a VGA box for my Dreamcast, and connect to my HDTV via a VGA to DVI converter. Looks great, if you're willing to accept these games are about 12 years old.
