Hi. Has anyone encountered this shadow issue (actual photo attached)? Is it the Dreamcast unit (what part is damaged), the PC CRT or the VGA box (Retrobit) that's at fault. What could be the fix? The shadow goes away after awhile.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Shadow Issue?
I lived the same fault using a vga at my job. The shadow travels to the right too.
In my case, was only the vga cable the problem. But your CRT maybe have it "integrated" and only you see one side of the cable.
If not, the fail would be the VGA converter.
In old CRT monitors the Dreamcast VGA looks awesome, my fauvorite combo. I cant find the words, but it have the Perfect Arcade Touch image jejej
Good choice!

Re: Shadow Issue?
Hi Thanks. I should replace the Retrobit VGA then (will save up for the Beharbros brand Kuro VGA box for DC). PC CRT doens't work with SEGS Saturn light gun though (is not too bad but not perfect in SEGA Dreamcast light gun). Thank you.
