Dreamcast SCART

First off, hi. This is my first time at this Forum so I hope I'm posting in the correct Forum asking for you guys words of wisdom.

Basically I'm looking to start playing on Shenmue again (which has to be my favourite game of all time. But enough about that ) I'm looking to buy a Dreamcast over eBay or somewhere like there so that I can get back into the games but unfortunaely don't expect my RF Aerial to work correctly.

So I heard about a Dreamcast SCART cable which should allow the Console to work correctly on my HD Ready LCD TV, however have done some research into this and a lot of people on the Net are seeming to have some problems with this method. Another thing I heard about was a "VGA Box" however both of the LCD TV's in my house don't support VGA.

I was simply wondering whether there are any ways around this, the only games I will be really playing are Shenmue 1 and Shenmue 2 so if they are fine through Scart then I'll be more than happy but any information on these problems is greatly appreciated.

Again, I hope I posted this in the correct Forum and appologies if I didn't.

Good day

Hello and welcome.

Many HD tvs have a DVI entry. If thats the case, you could use a vga box with a vga/dvi adapter. That would work nice. VGA boxes increases slightly the video quality, so you will like it.

My VGA adapter works great.
