SOLD!: VGA modified DREAMCAST - NH/USA
« on: March 06, 2010, 05:15:43 pm »
As seen in the pictures, this Sega Dreamcast has been modified with a VGA port and a 3.5mm headphone jack which you could either use PC speakers with or use a 3.5mm to L&R RCAs adapter.  There's a switch next to the VGA port to enable/disable the VGA output.  Up is VGA on.

Console is a version 1 and therefor plays backups as seen in the picture of Under Defeat being played on my VGA compatible monitor.  Version 1 also means that you could overclock the console if you were so inclined to do so.

Included with the console will be:
1x Official Sega Controller
1x Performance brand Astropad
1x Official Sega VMU (batteries dead as usual)
1x Power cord
1x A/V cord

As per the rules of the boards, no illegal copies are for sale with the Dreamcast.  If requested, I will go through my collection of originals to see what I'm willing to give up although, honestly,  with the Dreamcast being able to play "backups" as is, I really don't see the need for originals...

I'll start things off at $75 + shipping.  This is more of an "I need money" than an "I have too many Dreamcasts."  If you have a problem with the price, offer something else.  I'm open to trades (I have nothing in mind) but there has to be some sort of cash involved because otherwise I can't afford to ship the DC.  On that note, I will be shipping the DC after payment has cleared.

<image note>In the picture of Under Defeat being played, the image blurriness is caused by my camera.  I assure you, the picture is extremely sharp.  Also, in the same picture, you'll see a black bar on the left side of the screen.  That is how MY widescreen monitor deals with non-native resolutions.  If you use a 4:3 aspect ratio monitor you will not have any black bars.  Also, some widescreen monitors will stretch to fill the whole screen if that's your cup of tea.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I did the same with mine but instead of cutting the console I gutted the dial up modem and put the vga and audio jack in it.

We had considered doing the same (my brother-in-law and I did the mod) but in the end we decided modding the DC wasn't quite sacrilegious yet and wanted to keep the option of a broadband adapter open, however unlikely it may be that I ever get one...  :lol
