Dreamcast Link Cables Pre-Ordering

Hey everyone,
Dreamcast VS Link Cables Are Now Available for Pre-Order from Kevin Mellott. The Cost for a cable is
$85 plus shipping.
To order send a request to:
[email protected]
About the Creator: Kevin Mellott
For those are unfamiliar with his work, Kevin has created some really cool stuff including the amazing Virtual Boy Link cable (That never even existed!) His work was even featured on Linus Tech Tips! I can certainly vouch for his work as top notch. He's also in the process of making a Virtual Boy flash cart.... but that's another story for another forum.
As many of you know, the Dreamcast VS Cable is super rare as it was only released in Japan. When they pop up on Ebay they are priced at $300-400+ Dollars.... So having a readily available 3rd party solution for a more reasonable cost would be far better.
Now the most important question is how many games actually work with this thing?
Ferrari 355,
Aero Dancing F,
Aero Dancing I,
Sega Tetris,
Virtual-On: Oratario Tangram,
Hell Gate (Prototype)
Potentially more could be added to this list via Home Brew as that's how the Virtual Boy scene has gone.
So if you're like me and love the dreamcast and would really like to have access to one of the most rare accessories let preorder today through Kevin!
Note to access link mode on USA/PAL versions use codes below:
F355 - Hold X+Y or LT + RT on Menu Screen to show link menu
Virtual On - Press and hold ''LT + RT + A + Start'' at the Title screen

Admittedly I wouldn't purchase one since I don't plan on buying a second Dreamcast but I'd love to see it get made

Im not sure of the pin out but it would be sweet if it was possible to make a pair of serial to female rj45 so users could run an ethernet inbetween to their desired lengths. If would also keep size, price and shipping down.

I'd pay for connectors and/or cables if available.

This is a great idea! Hopefully this can be put into consideration!
