    Default WTB: Dreamcast VGA cable

    I had a Nyko Dreamcast VGA box which I haven't used in awhile. I tried it out this weekend and neither the VGA or S-video are detected by my TV. So, I need a new one.

    Does anyone have a Dreamcast VGA cable/box? It doesn't have to be first party, it just has to work. I'm looking to pay a reasonable price, nothing crazy.

    Thanks!

    Tried the same thing with my TV and had no luck. Turns out it's the TV's inability to decode the signal.

    Just be certain your TV can handle it.

    I actually found that earlier via google. Their VGA box is out of stock. I sent an email asking when they'll be back in stock. I'd prefer to get it from that site because they have cheap shipping and I'd like to get a SNES S-Video cable as well and there's is only like 6 bucks (assuming it works).

    How can I tell? My TV has a VGA port.

    My old Nyko one has an S-Video output as well. I tried using that and it didn't work either, so I think the box is broken. I know the S-Video input on my TV works fine.

    I just Googled my TV's model number with Dreamcast VGA. Turns out I have a VGA port but it only supports RGB in.
