It can't be that difficult, either. Didn't DC run on Windows software, anyway? I can think of tons of DC games that could find a new lease of life on XBLA and they'd need a minimum of graphical tarting-up for the outing. It's criminal, really, how the DC's wonderful back catalogue of titles (almost the entire list ideal for XBLA) are just being forgotten...

The VGA cable is a must for HDTVs imo, it really reignited my love for the console, the games just look so sharp and vibrant using the cable. The official vga cable is tough to track down, i bought a GAME branded one from ebay and it seems to output a flawless picture, but if you can get the official one for under £20, i say get it!

Will do sir. The official ones are even hard to come by on Ebay the last time I checked.

Yeah very hard, i found it tough finding a uk based seller for a third party one!

Anyway once you get one i guarantee it will make you want to try out every game you have to see how awesome the games were, the fantastic thing is that more or less all of the major pal games supported vga so it really should not pose any problems. Anyway good luck finding one!

I wonder how they'll look on a 32" screen!? I absolutely love the DC's graphics. I had it hooked up to a wee CRT with SCART and it still looked amazing. It actually was a beast.

EDIT: Just realised I already said that above. Oh well. Still true. It was DOA I was playing. I reckon the graphics of the DC still hold up to some of last gens standards towards the end of the cycle. I rememer being absolutely blown away by SA when I first saw it. Especially the killer whale part.

Seriously, in the case of Soul Calibur it could definitely go against the version that came out on original XBox. There's not much of a difference in graphical quality, tbh. And in some ways, I still think SC on DC is THE definitive version.

when i get rich i will pay Yu Suzuki a **** ton to get a team and re make 1 & 2 then make 3 & 4. or another team to remake 1 & 2 - possibly silicone knights, they did a good job with MGS 1.

They showed parts of Guilin in the BBC series 'Wild China', I really want to visit that place, i am sure i will one day.

There was something magic about that era, and I loved reading the latest Dreamcast magazines in anticipation for the upcoming titles. There was something so original about the games when it came out, with many genres being spread over such a short period of time. It was a time when Sega took chances and showed it's creative brilliance, with some fantastic results. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save the console and it faded away just when it was getting into it's prime. It was also my first time playing a console game online; pure gaming bliss. I have over a hundred games for it and is still growing in size.

I have it hooked upto my 37" 1080p HDTV via VGA adaptor and it's beautiful. Can't get enough of it really. God bless Dreamcast.
