As per my previous post, I now have a second hand BG1208. This is a lovely machine, but only supports negative sync on input 5.
What's my best option if I'd like to link up my dreamcast via a VGA box? (subject to being careful of burn in of course)
a) use a dreamcast vga box with existing cable - it will work, or the box can be fettled to fix it.
b) dreamcast vga box, plus custom cable to input 3 (would really rather not do that, as it will mean an extra memory block, extra cabling etc). Although if I connect up the dreamcast using the existing cable at 640x480x60Hz it'll mean an extra memory block anyway...
c) male->female db15 with circuitry to fix negative sync
d) output svideo on vga box and input through wintv card (I'd rather not do that, as I was hoping to see if the lightgun worked on the screen, for a bit of fun)
e) give up and leave the dreamcast connected to the TV.
any ideas?
