This may be a long shot, but has anybody used the Gekko with the El Gato HD game capture? The original El Gato had issues capturing Dreamcast video trough common VGA--> HDMI converters.

So Hyperkin is doing an HDMI cable for the Dreamcast. It says "HD" on the box, but does not seem to do any upscaling at all.
Interesting!
Decided to take a pic of my collection since I was talking to a friend about the Dreamcast. I meant to take one for the anniversary, but missed it. Heh.
Great collection!
Redream 1.3.1 is now out.
Changelog

Cause it's arcade port)
We need more "arena fightings" like this :( nowodays it's almost only Gundam EXVS
I read somewhere that it sold like 400,000 copies but unless it did VERY WELL in Europe that may have been a shipped statement. Below is US sales of all Sega games.
Link.
Unbelievable how not ONE Xbox game is in the top 10.
I think the OG Xbox pretty much bombed in Europe. I remember being interested in some games back then but the price tag was ridiculous.
I'm trying to find a good S-Video cable for the Dreamcast to play Bangai-O (don't have a way to use RGB), is there one you guys would recommend? I have a PAL unit and I'm based in Germany, though I don't mind importing from outside of Europe if necessary.
Some VGA boxes (including the official one) have S-Video out so you can just use any S-Video cable. I don't have any idea where you can find a Dreamcast dedicated one. Being in Europe it's much easier to find SCART cables (understandably) .
Doc Brown is a theoretical ODE for the FM Towns Marty. I've been waiting like half a year for a payment request :(
DC was the first console I bought with my own money. My collection just like my GC collection is small, but has pretty much everything I want just missing a couple of games I really want.

When you wrote down "small", I was expecting like ten games.
This isn't a small collection at all ! :P
I was thinking the same lol. Probably even more since I didn't realize at first that those were NA games. Had it been a EU collection, it'd have taken an entire shelf. Some great gems there. What's your all time Dreamcast favorite from your collection, Rygar?
Little from a gotta catch em all situation. Tons of games I still want like Ikaruga, Mars Matrix, Skies of Arcadia and a bunch of others.
Man favorite out of all those? Hmm, most likely MvC2 still play it with friends to this day.
Excellent choice, still the best one in the series to this day.
They work very well and are available immediately. The guy who made the original has never properly supplied enough boards to the public and so the clones are getting to be the only option.
At some point you gotta say the had multiple chances to ramp production and make profit. Time for more people to have access to the board.
I think Ikaruga is up there in price, nowadays... And it's probably the same basura for Mars Matrix.
Godspeed, son ! :D
I got one of the Pound HDMI adapters and have been really pleased.
I think I'm going to start up a play through of Shenmue 2 as well. Grabbed a PAL copy years ago and never actually played it.

Missing a bunch of stuff in my opinion but you cancel that out by owning Illbleed and that makes you the best person I've seen today. Nice collection.
It's Japanese though XD. I'll need to get a Japanese DC and they all look pricey on Ebay. There's one for around 100 CAD but it's yellowed as hell, which I wouldn't mind if it was priced accordingly. I can't find any local listings either.
The other option is I'll need to get a boot disc+a NTSC DC. Is there any boot disc that is freely available(without pirating the boot disc)?
Thank you sixteen-bit I'll check that out. I'll go the NTSC route so it'll be easier to build up a library locally in the future.
Yes. Personally, I got annoyed with that stuff, though, and just installed a mod chip years ago to make it region-free. Easy to install and, at the time at least (no idea now), cheap. Now I just put in my imports in straight away and they work.
How easy exactly ? If it's as easy as changing the PSU, I might do it :P
But ultimately, I think I'll go with that gdrom thing to futureproof my basura.
If your objective is to play original games from a different region then I don't advise Utopia as it does not offer 100% compatibility. Either get Action Replay CDX or CodeBreaker. I wouldn't feel too guilty about pirating unlicensed long discontinued software.
Holy crap, a bit of googling has made me realize how cheap it is to get a modchip for the DC and Saturn(which means I don't need the Action Replay cart anymore(aside for the extra memory games like X-men Vs Street Fighter). I'm definitely going that route.
I would feel a bit guilty pirating that software even though they no longer exist. But to each their own. It does feel a lot more of a grey area, but people still need to put in work to make that software.

Thanks man! I haven't thought too far ahead, I'm a bit into shmups and this was not avail in us regions.
