    I have buyed some chinese SVIDEO Dreamcast cables and no one works, all of them are wrong designed (i mean, pins are incorrect) and yeah, i guess i can fix em but i want to buy a well-designed SVIDEO cable. Is there anyone in entire ebay? That you can actually have tried and it works?

    Those i'm talking about display black and white screen (NO REGION RELATED PROBLEM) and noise on video. Thats because luminance and crominance SVIDEO are wrong connected or they doesnt actually exist, that is a problem xD

    Thanks

    Coz those are 100% that dont work. They are just bad designed. The people who did them have no idea how the dreamcast video port works

    I have one of those VGA boxes for the DC - it also gives you svideo/composite out. The only problem I've seen is you can't hook up the sound to both outputs (VGA and svideo) at the same time - it seems the load is too much for the audio chip in the box. You connect the sound to one or the other. The switch on the box doesn't select one output or the other, it just changes the cable ID going to the DC.

    This is the one I have: http://www.vpgames.com/p-352-dreamcast-vga-box-w-s-video-cable-connects-dc-system-to-pc-monitor.aspx
