The VGA adapter is fantastic. I don't remember the brand, and I'd have to open my cab when I get home to check, but it's blue and kind of dome shaped. Every 3D game I have runs in 640x480. If you haven't seen Soul Calibur or Crazy Taxi in high resolution, you haven't seen what a Dreamcast can do.
I mostly play Capcom and SNK fighters on it, and it's funny because the backgrounds are higher rez than the characters. Those basically otherwise look like if you were running them in MAME with no scanlines or graphical enhancements.

: No kidding?
: What other games have you played on your DC w/ the VGA adaptor? Not all are labled for use w/ the box. Anywho, I was wondering if any of the games acted funky? UFC seems like it has a scroll lock on or something.

: : This was a topic of discussion a long time ago, and I never saw anybody give a definitive answer. Anyway, DC light guns work great on a 21" PC VGA monitor with the DC VGA adapter. I picked up a cheap Mad Catz Dream Blaster just after Christmas, and played the heck out of House of the Dead 2 and Virtua Cop 2 (which is in the Sega Smashpack Vol 1 and runs in high rez mode) on my cab yesterday. These are pretty much the only gun games I ever really liked, so I'm happy as a clam now. (Though I still have nostalgic feelings for Duck Hunt every once in a while.)
