From the project
DC2VGA RGBS/VGA Dongle
An SD/VGA RGBS/RGBHV Switchable Dongle for Sega Dreamcast.
This belongs to my series of VGA adapters for various retro consoles and video equipments.
This adapter plugs into the AV OUT port on a Sega Dreamcast and allows you to out put RGBS or RGBHV video signal, as well as a stereo audio signal.
There are two independent toggle switches on this dongle for choosing different modes.
