Quick tip: if the game you want to play shows an error code saying it won’t play in VGA mode, there’s an easy hack where you turn off the game console, switch the converter to RGBS mode, turn the console back on and as it’s booting up listen for a faint beep sound (happens in just a few seconds)…when you hear that beep, flip the switch back over to VGA and chances are it will then load the game (you might see some screen-flicker at first, but this is normal and brief). This trick worked on my old original VGA DC converter, and it works on this one too.

It doesn't upscale or alter the image because it takes the best possible output from the Dreamcast (VGA signal) and outputs it as HDMI (along with audio). Trying to upscale the image (at this point in time) causes too many issues. The only other way is to get a 'DCHDMI kit' that is installed inside the internals of the Dreamcast and that requires a lot of skilful soldering and is an expensive modification. This is probably the best 'plug and play' solution right now. Thank you, Kaico **Q: Anyone know if this is compatible with the elgato hd capture card? the pound cable did not seem to work with it.** A: Nope. Tried it just now & it says "format not supported." **Q: The quick-start guide says that the led light would be green to indicate that it is working, yet it is blue and still working. should i be worried?** A: I think as long as it's still working you should be fine. I don't even use mine much anymore meaning my Dreamcast. **Q: Why won't it go full screen? the size is about 16" x 16" on a large 50" sony tv** A: That would be part of your TV's settings. The Dreamcast runs at a low resolution, so it's not using the full screen. Look in your TV's settings for something that says "stretch", "fit", or "scale". Your TV may also just not support 480p video. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great! *by A***H on December 30, 2025* Works as advertised: just plug n play.

Works great! Nice picture, all good! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a difference!!! *by S***N on May 25, 2024* I read various reviews about this "not working" and was concerned but thought I'd try it anyway. Plugged it in and... NOTHING!!!!... Now considering I had to pull my entertainment center aware from the wall and get behind to cable things up... I was a little miffed at this point... But then... I have HDMI cables going into a HDMI switch etc so I thought I'd start with the basics... straight into the TV. Still nothing.... The documentation makes no mention that there is a small hole in the case on the underside and I wondered what did that do... unplugged everything to get a better look but no idea... plugged it back in FIRMLY into the Dreamcast and bingo, the little hole was actually a BLUE LED and it lit up!!!! Checked the TV, Yup... I have a signal. Plugged everything back into the various switches and it was still all working great. Put everything back in place (moving my entertainment center back against the wall with its array of cables etc) and grabbed a handful of Sega games. The video quality difference between composite (The old yellow video cable and red-white sound) and the VGA to HDMI is very noticeable. That's hardly surprising as Dreamcast VGA is 480 lines (Comparable to DVD) and the composite in the Dreamcast is said to only be about 240 lines. I had previously used the composite (on a 4K TV) using a HDMI converter and to be honest I thought it was acceptable. However after trying the VGA-HDMI converter, the difference is night and day better. There is one unfortunate downfall.... As I discovered in my haste and enthusiasm to try games.... not all Sega games support VGA... You can't blame the VGA-HDMI converter for this but it is rather irritating. However, the volume of games I've tried thus far that fail are currently 1 failure out of 12 tested.... When you try to load the game it tells you it's not compatible with the display cable... It's a game I'm not bothered about so no biggee. I no longer have the old Dreamcast to VGA adapter as that bit the bullet years ago and I've not tried any other adapter to be able to compare against this one. I will say for $30 it was my upper limit of what I would pay for the feature and although there were others for $20, I liked the reviews on this one more. So for all the folks who had "bad" ones I wonder if you suffered the same issue I did when I first tried it... Not saying there couldn't be a bad one now and then. For all said, I'd highly recommend this unit. Just be aware the documentation is brief to say the least... and once the cable is plugged in, check the Blue LED lights on the underside of the unit. No LED, no workee... make sure the Dreamcast is powered up and try firmly reinserting the cable into the Dreamcast. UPDATE So after playing some of the VGA games, which I am really impressed with the quality, I switched back to the Composite to play a couple of games that I've subsequently found required that. Couple of them I do enjoy playing. Considering I had been using the composite for a long time before buying this adapter and I thought I was previously okay with the quality, I was stunned at the obvious drop in quality going back. Even the opening power on screen shows a clear loss in image quality. So being finicky, I've now set mine up so that by default I will play in VGA mode but with just a simple cable change in the back of the Sega Dreamcast I can revert to just the composite video for those games I really want to continue to play. You do have to power cycle the Dreamcast if you want to change back and forth. Just changing the cables doesn't work but that's no biggee. Still ecstatic at the improved quality using this adapter. Well worth the money. BTW, Played "Crazy Taxi" and "Silent Scope" both in VGA mode... damn even after all these years, the Dreamcast really does shine. I totally accept new consoles have HD graphics etc but it's the simplicity of the games not just the graphics that make them fun to play. Kudos on this adapter. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kaico Sega Dreamcast HDMI Adapter – Plug & Play HDMI Converter for Sega Dreamcast Console – Supports DC VGA & RGBS Output – All-in-One AV Cable for All Dreamcast Games - Kaico PS1 HDMI / PS2 AV Cable Compatible with Sony PlayStation & PS2 Models - Switch Between RGB & Component - PS1 & PS2 to HDMI Converter for Any HD TV - Kaico Original Xbox to HDMI Adapter– HD Link Cable for Original Xbox Console– Supports 480i/480p/720p/1080i– Dolby Digital 5.1 via Optical Port– Plug & Play Converter with Toslink Audio Support --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/149807503-kaico-sega-dreamcast-hdmi-adapter-plug-and-play-hdmi-converter](https://www.desertcart.us/products/149807503-kaico-sega-dreamcast-hdmi-adapter-plug-and-play-hdmi-converter) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
