    Wow, the 3-in-1 is ridiculously expensive given the only difference is an S-video jack. I would be tempted to get the 2-in-1 if it also had a scanline switch. One point in its favour is that the serial port connector appears to be a proper metal connector, unlike most of the SD adapters out there.

    The older Dreamcast VGA boxes also have a SVideo option, though no SD Card slot.

    If you only want the vga cable, google "cabou dreamcast vga cable" he does great ones, with the connectors of your choice (male-female).
    Else it's not really hard to build your own internal one.

    Hope no one mind the bump but I have a VGA box similar to CRTGAMER. I get faint vertical lines with my box and was wondering if it could be fixed. I tried replacing caps and still have the vertical lines. I did not replace them all though. I decided to stop and ask. I found someone mentioned a similar box he has was ground properly but after take a close look at the solder joint on this box everything seems to be where it should be. Any suggestions?

    This is what I am working with.
