What is this cable?

[stevie vip 99]

Any idea what this cable is for? My friend has 2 of them but isn't sure what it's for.
Besides being for the dreamcast

[speedlolita]

RF/aerial cable.

[dvdx2]

Rf to tv aerial?

[JazzFunk]

As above, so you can connect to your old skool telly, same way you'd hook up a Speccy! DC looked surprisingly OK thru RF iirc, though it was the year 2000 I last checked...

[stevie vip 99]

Thanks folks. I'll let him know

[Colin]

How can you possibly not have ever seen one of them before Stevie? You're the same age as me!

[stevie vip 99]

Ha ha Colin I've never owned a dreamcast.
In fact I'd never played one before till yesterday when my mate dropped his off!
Just one of those strange things I guess

The last truly great console.

You got them with the UK master system and mega drive as well (and probably others), which is why I was surprised you'd never seen one!

[stevie vip 99]

Always straight to a scart lead for me ha ha.
Got a load of stuff off him you might be interested in Colin.
3do and games.
Phillips g7000 I think it's called?
Stuff I've never seen before

[VR46]

Even says TV Out Steve

As Colin says, same came in the box with the Master System, SNES etc.

It a modulator
Converts composite video to RF so you can run consoles via the aerial in.
On the list of video modes in terms of quality this is the worst.

Technically, yes (well, pragmatically, yes).

However, if you want that retro late-80s-early-90s charm for your Megadrive, I think you have to use RF. True, the quality is objectively worse, but it's how I remember those consoles looking.

Everything Saturn-onwards though, I prefer the likes of SCART.

I thought he was being sarcastic to start with...Hell, I used one for my N64 to start with as well.
