Dreamcast VGA box & Scanline generator

Just have to say my Hanzo is by far the best vga box I have for my dc!!! Love it: Great build quality, excellent performance. Simply amazing.
Shame my shitty samsung plasma doesn't support the rgb mode, so I can't perform the switch trick with skies of arcadia, capcom vs snk, ...
Soon my 15 year old dreamcast will still be standing tall next to a ps4, and I'll keep playing it.
In other words: thank you.

 

Scanliner cable:

pigtail vga male plug...

can be used with Hanzo on other consoles/PC as a standalone Scanliner.

 

is it posible to build some more cables like for the SNES/N64/GC and saturn?

 

rgb scart?

 

With your extra VGA scanliner cable its possible to connect other consoles, but than i musst build an "Other" -> VGA plug.
It was just a question if you have the parts to build some.
Like Saturn -> Hanzo ...
I think any RGB Signal can be connected over VGA plug to your hanzo or? Sorry when im wrong.

But ok rgb scart will also do... :friendly_wink: Im not sure about the quality of such plugs. I use one on my tv and not really happy...

 

It isn't overly complicated to wire, but takes a line doubler. Many TVs won't understand 15khz from a VGA socket.

 

to connect those consoles to the Hanzo/Scanliner an upscaler(line doubler) required. It converts 15khz to 31khz.
However I will have some other devices on the horizon...

If your TV can accept 15khz through VGA, I can do something like that:

In 15khz scanlines are thicker than 31khz, this is why an upscaler required like that cheap one:

thanks for the info. I will check the 15khz with the hanzo.

 

Damn, "Really" Cool Edition looks really cool. But I have my Hanzo and I love it. Anyway, I checked and it seems you can avouid custom duty when you declare the package on the outside as a gift. Apparently you can get a label for at your post office, but the process is a little different in every country and I don't know it for Turkey.

 

hi, long time lurker, finally i registered today.

Your vga box is such a great device. i would like to order one unit

 

Thanks for the info

Sonic This is "Really" Cool Edition...

Tested my hanzo and dreamcast on my computer monitor which supports 640x480, suprisingly there is no red hue with scan lines enabled. However, back at my 52in Sharp LC-52e77U, the display resolution is set automatically at 720x480 at 60hz and screen looks perfect without scan lines. With scan lines enabled, the entire screen turns to a faint reddish hue (very noticeable during white backgrounds). Could the resolution be the cause of the problem here? What can I do to correct this issue?

 

I read its manual quickly and it supports 640x480, try FINE SYNC on the setup menu, it might be something with it.

 

Hey dude, any updates on the 31k scart cable for framemeister's (xrgb)?
thanks

 

I'm just thinking of it, I have the parts for the other design, I'll try it on Sunday.

 

Hello, I want to order one Hanzo. I'm not much of a Sonic fan, so I'd prefer the original design with a clear top and black bottom. Please contact me per PM.

 

Thats great, keep us updated.
