Sweet thanks guys, looks like I need to consider either the Hyperkin or a VGA to HDMI Converter. I obviously love Skies of Arcadia, and that game doesn't play via VGA unless you trick it with the xploder, and I think you have to have the US version as well or something? Those games which CANNOT do VGA I have no real issue with not being able to play, as I only really play a handful of games (another reason why I'm selling it all)
The only other issue I would have with moving my Dreamcast over to the main tv is that I would have to run a temporary cable across the room to it in order to play PSO online, or mess around moving the console back over to the desk near my router whenever I want to play.
Essentially I have to decide whether to just move it over there, by an upscaler and when I'm playing online, temporarily run a long cable across the room, or try and fit a cable over there. I have a switch which would mean I could run the xbox and the dreamcast off broadband, so it might be an idea to set it up, but I don't really fancy the idea of running a cable under the carpet... guess i need to way up the pro's and cons and see what my fiancee will agree to lol
Regarding the VGA- HDMI upscaler which was linked to, buying it from the US Amazon site might be an issue for me being in the UK, obviously postage and time to arrive will both be high, I was looking on amazon.co.uk and couldn't find much that was similar. Assuming I bite the bullet and buy from the amazon.com site, is there any reason why it wouldn't work for me in the UK? Any reason why they don't seem to exist over here? I guess I want to avoid wasting my money if it wont work
