Get the official ones. And you can get a VGA lead for the DC that plugs straight into the plasma.

Not sure about the splitters.

ok thanks , does every game on the DC display in VGA

The vast majority of DC games display in VGA. The game boxes themselves normally state on the back if they include VGA support. Picture quality through a monitor (esp. on a CRT) is superb.

I have one of these DC VGA boxes. Really good quality & excellent value:

Here's a VGA compatability list that may help (it's for the US versions but should usually be the same for PAL & Jap):

Cap v Snk 2 works fine in VGA, the sprites are a bit pixellated but the backgrounds and effects look good.

As for a VGA switcher, I have one of these:

I don't notice any ghosting or softening, and it's only ?8.

You'll need good quality VGA cables though (one for your PC, one for your DC *if* you use a VGA box, *not* if you use a VGA cable), cheap ones will make the picture baaad.

These should do: (you can get other lengths too)
