Do it yourself VGA mods...

Post by DreamOn »

Sorry if this has already been posted. I was wondering if anyone has attempted a mod like this:

or this:

Seeing as how used Dreamcasts are fairly cheap, and I already have a few, I was thinking I'd give this a try sometime. Any thoughts, comments, death threats, etc. let me know.

I think it looks sloppy with all the ports in the back. I'd rather mod a console so it looks better. like replacing that orange LED with something else.....

The blue light would look better if it was on a PAL Dreamcast so it would match the blue swirl.
