VGA HDTV with Dreamcast?

Post by Repoman23 »

Sorry I saw in a topic someone posted that you can get a VGA box to "make it work with HDTV".

Can someone explain further? Dreamcast can go HDTV???

Not really HD, but progressive scan, which is a lot better than interlaced.
It's thinking...

True! It's only HD if the resolution is a minimum of 720p. 480p is considered Enhanced Definition and despite it not being labeled as HD, the picture quality is incredible. One look at Soul Calibur running in 480p may make you ask why there was a need to have more powerful gaming machines!
