Do they exist?
I want to buy a DC again and stream some gameplay while I relive this wonderful console, but my PVR (Hauppauge HD PVR2 gaming Edition) only accepts HDMI and Component connections.
If not, can anyone recommend a composite device that's ideal for streaming older 32-bit consoles? I plan to nab a Saturn and a N64 as well, two consoles I'd rather not emulate.
Lastly, does the PSO DC custom server still get any play?
DC component cables?

Well, we do have a few dedicated players on Sylverant. I don't really know about the Dreamcast population on any other servers.Eckostyle wrote:Lastly, does the PSO DC custom server still get any play?

Sylverant works fine with the Dreamcast version and we have a few people who still play regularly on the Dreamcast. I was just saying I don't know how other servers are doing, Dreamcast user wise.Eckostyle wrote:Shame, I'd rather enjoy the game on a couch with my DC controller.
Believe me, I wouldn't be pushing a PSO server here that didn't support the Dreamcast.

Re: DC component cables?
I was going to suggest something that didn't pop into my head until today, with regard to your cabling situation, but that solution there is much cheaper anyway. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
What you could have done failing finding the cables to hook up composite/s-video would be to get a Dreamcast VGA box and a VGA->HDMI converter box or a VGA->Component converter. Not exactly a cheap solution, but it would've worked.

Re: DC component cables?
Dreamcast in 480P is beautiful. You can buy VGA -> HDMI converters, which will do a upscalling to 720P or 1080P. I personally play on just VGA, since I specifically bought a TV that still has that port for my dreamcast.
Check out this guys videos. He talks about a VGA to Component and a VGA to HDMI converter. They are a bit pricey though if I recall correctly. Good Luck!
