Title: SOLD!: VGA modified DREAMCAST - NH/USA
Post by: crashwg 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.

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
