Here's a list of games that don't support the vga box, but that can (or can't) be tricked in running on a monitor by means of a bootdisk (tested with the DC-X). Mind that this isn't a complete list of vga incompatible games as no one seems to have one (they all claim they have one, but so far all the lists I found on the web where wrong at a certain point), just the ones that I know can (or can't) be tricked from first hand experience.
I'll update this as I find & test more games. Obviously this is a list of legit games, as most copies are patched

• Aqua GT PAL - Yes
• Army Men Sarges Heroes PAL - Yes
• Bust-A-Move 4 - PAL - Yes
• Conflict Zone PAL - Yes
• Deadly Skies PAL - No
• ECW Hardcore Revolution PAL - No
• Evolution World Of The Sacred Device PAL - Yes (VGA logo on the case, but won't run on a monitor without a bootdisk)
• Gunbird 2 PAL - No (it runs fine all the way up to the Capcom screen & then dies,I hate that)
• Hidden & Dangerous PAL - Yes
• Hydro Thunder PAL - Yes
• NFL Blitz 2000 PAL - Yes
• Pen Pen PAL - Yes (it runs, but I still can't play it since my monitor's frequency is out of range)
• Psychic Force 2012 PAL - No
• Railroad Tycoon 2 PAL - No (no message, screen just goes black, though it has the vga logo on the case)
• Resident Evil Code Veronica PAL - No
• Skies Of Arcadia PAL - No (sound only)
• Snow Surfers PAL - No
• Soul Fighter PAL - No (no loss there imo )
• Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six PAL - Yes

Well here's what I've got so far:

Well yes; that place only says they're vga incompatible, not how to work round the issue. And as I said on the main post, just I tried grabbing lists from the net a few times, but they were always wrong about a few games.
Anyway, I assume its still a good asset for the thread as I'm sure that someone will try that list out.

That's my own list, I go by the name "Tweeg" on some boards and sites . All of the US, JP, and Un-Released (UR) games I tested out personally. Only the EU/PAL games list relied on input from other people.

Been waiting on actually completeing my collection before trying out booting the few games that don't natively support VGA mode.

oh if you tested em out its something different

edit: added SOA to the list

I tested my NTSC/U games that did not have native VGA support. i used Code Breaker as the boot disc. If I succeed in tricking the games I put (yes) if I was unable to trick the game I put (no) I also tested some games with Game Shark and DC Hakker to see if they had better luck if Code Breaker failed.

1) Sydney 2000 (yes) Code Breaker
2) Qbert (yes) Code Breaker
3) Nightmare Creatures 2 (yes) Code Breaker
4) Show Time: NBA on NBC (yes) Code Breaker
5) South Park: chef’s love shack (yes) Code Breaker

Thanks for the list! I might need to refer to it in the near future!

I believe that Bangai-O needs to be added to this list as well.

Is there any way at all to get PAL Skies Of Arcadia legit copy to boot in VGA mode and work?

nope, just buy the US version & use a boot disk. works like a charm
