Dreamcast and my NEW screen

LeoLeonard3

Okay, no one responded on Moe's and I am desperate:


God, posting this goes against geek code in so many ways.

But, well, I just got my Dreamcast (best console ever) back and I live in a dorm with one screen. Currently thats a HANNspree LCD TV. I rreeaallyy want to play Sonic Adventures. But there are no colour slots on the thing. Just HDMI and a slot that requires me to screw two screws in(no, I dont know what it's called).

So, I want to play my Dreamcast on my Computer Screen. But there is no slot for the Dreamcast Component Cables.

So, my question is: Is there some sort of Component Cable converter for HDMI? Basically, is there ANY way to play my dreamcast on my screen?

Also, I'm a geek. But cables are my weakness so please help.

The 2 screw connection, is that for a PC monitor? I think there was one of those released for the DC, you might be able to track one down if thats the case.

That's VGA...his other thread (which has been responded to so crossposting ftl), is titled VGA to HDMI.

So it's probably DVI on the back of his TV.

Yeah that it.

Thanks, I thought I was gonna get bogged down with people saying I'm an idiot.

I'm just bad with cables people!

Best purchase I ever made. Get a VGA to DVI adapter and you're set for 480P joy. Racketboy is the man, and it took no time at all to ship to me.

cross posting is very rude
