I have a VGA box and am very happy with it except that I have a ton of games that are simply incompatible with it. Rather than go back to the normal tv cables, is there a chance that these games would work via S video? I'm thinking mostly of capcom and SNK 2d fighters, Airforce Delta, etc.

All Dreamcast games work via S-Video, that's assuming you have the correct cable of course.

Most VGA boxes have an S-Video socket. Failing that use a standard Dreamcast S-Video cable.

Something like this which has both composite and s-video connections:

Here's one in the US:

there's no 'ton' of games that don't work, there's like 20 or maybe 30 & half of those are shitty ones

Shit, yeah, Lack Of Love

Also PAL Skies, PAL Code Veronica, Dino Crisis and Spawn..........

But mayu's right, the vast majority of games are fine.

Well, even though some are indeed crappy, I haven't bothered to play any of them for years since they don't work with my VGA setup. Which makes me want to play them again

I've got: Marvel vs. Capcom, Last Blade 2, King of Fighters 99, Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure, Plasma Sword, Airforce Delta, Mortal Kombat Gold, and a few more I can't remember off the top of my head. That's 7 there, and I've probably got about 10 or so. Out of a 40 or 50 game collection it feels like a "ton" to me

I got the info I wanted though, which is that all games work via S video, and that it is not like the VGA box where some games are incompatible.

^Marvel vs. Capcom and MK Gold are VGA compatible! (At least the US versions are).

Oh and I believe Jojo's JPN "For Matching Service" version is VGA compatible. Hope that turns your "Ton" into a "Few"

^Well, they don't boot with my VGA box and the message pops up saying the game won't work with the AV cables plugged into the system when I try to play on vga.

Well I can assure u they do.

By any chance, in regards to MK gold, whats the color of your disc?
