Ah. Never mind, I found the slot. Sorry to both of you. It's embarrassing that both questions I've posted are things I could have solved without help.

No problem. I have the type "b" and I almost did not see the 3.5mm audio port. It kind of sits in a not-so obvious spot next to the VGA output cord. Glad to see you're all set.

Correct me if i am wrong but i believe that utopia (unofficial) V 1.2 forces VGA mode.

No, in fact, none of the utopia discs even work with vga signal... the only disc that forces VGA on games is DC-X

:shock: :o

what about DChakker and xploder/codebreaker. way back when i first got a VGA box i used DChakker to swap non VGA games before i knew of other discs. i must say that codebreaker is way easier than DChakker, because DChakker is harder to understand. you have to select the correct file and hit the right combo of buttons :x

That's exactly why DC-X is better :lol:

Besides, DC-X can force VGA on non-VGA games like REC:V PAL and 60hz on some pal games that couldn't be forced in any other way (REC:V and some others can't be forced, tho)
