Do all dreamcast games work when outputed through the VGA box?

I'm in the market for a projector and would like to input my (now ageing but still great fun) dreamcast through the VGA connection...

I remember reading on this forum that a member (sorry, can't remember the name) was getting great results doing this but, if I remember correctly, mentioned that not all games supported the VGA box.

Is this correct? Anybody with experience of this that could shed some light on the situation, could you please let me know...

Thanks in advance,
Iain.

I believe that the game has to be VGA Compatible.

Most of the later releases were.

Yep, they have to be VGA compatible, just look at the back of the game in question and look for the logo and text. Good luck on the projector, I'm still waiting for my new Tosh and I hope it doesn't have as many faults as the ZP18... Was watching the footie and all hell broke loose >_<

Thanks for the replies guys, you've just cleared that one up nicely for me...

As for you NeoBlade, I feel for you mate, your projector going in the middle of the football... PROJECTORS JUST HAVE NO SHAME.
