Title: vga box?? please help
Post by: robertpaulson on January 31, 2005, 10:22:19 AM
would a dreamcast vga box (with av input - red yellow white --> monitor plug) work with a gamecube? it seems like it would, just using the av cord for gamecube and plugging it in, but i don't really know

No...it would not. The plug that goes into the back of the GC is different than the DC.
However, you can typcially pick up a GC VGA cord for $10-$15 if you look hard enough.

at least the Revolution will plug straight into a computer monitor And hopefully the Game Boy Evolution, or Extreme, or whatever will come with cables to hook it straight into a TV or monitor... or better yet, the GBE and Revolution could just be able to connect out of the box, meaning you could run your GBE on a TV/monitor through the Revolution, meaning if you have both you don't need to buy a freaking 50 dollar accessory just to play with a revolution controller or on a TV... Of course the best deal would be if the Revolution just played GBE games directly...one less system to buy

In order to use the the gamecube on a PC monitor you have to usea scaler (creates more pixels from the standard NTSC signal). A dreamcast had the ability to directly send out a 640*480 signal.
I have an XGA box for sale if you are interested (it is used nad has some scratches but works good). It has composite and S-vdeo in and scales the image up to 1024x768 pixels. I ahve used it for the past few months to play my Gamecube on my Viewsonic LCD monitor. I am selling it for $35 shipped (payed $75 new) and am including an Svideo cable, VGA cable, and RCA brand switchbox so you can hook up whatever else you want to the monitor (DVD, other systems, VCR. etc...)
I have positive feedback at ebay under "jan_uecker"
email me at jcuecker@longwood.edu if your interested.
