Kaico HDMI - Strange problem..?

Post by Whirre »

I have a really strange issue with the Kaico HDMI adapter. It works on my Dreamcast - BUT ONLY If I push Start on th DC and then turn it off and then on again..?? If I just turn the DC on there is no signal to the TV..?

Anyone else experienced this? :?

Yeah it's signal output is weird. Mine cuts off the entire boot up sequence. I'm thinking of Upgrading to an Akura that way I can play some Non VGA games too.

I think that's just a consequence of the conversion process going on, it takes a while for the chips these things use to 'lock on' to the sync signal of the Dreamcast but once they do it can handle being reset and maintain output.
