The official Sega DC VGA box is very difficult to find, but most 3rd party ones do the job rather nicely. The DC VGA resolution is 640x480 @ 60hz

Third Party ones have the advantage of offering VGA/S-Video switch - with this you can trick various non-VGA games into booting in VGA.

Can you recommend me one please or point in the right direction where I can get one of these?

It would be good if I could play all my Dreamcast games on my monitor...

It doesn't work on all games, just manages to trick most non-VGA games into working.

I have a Blaze one, but the trick will work on any VGA box that lets you switch between VGA and S-Video. You simply have to boot up in S-Video mode, then switch to VGA at the right time on the 'Produced by' screen. The game thinks it's still in S-Video mode, but it's running in VGA.

There can be some side effects. Dino Crisis for example, the game works fine but the movies don't appear.

I'm sure I read somewhere, someone just snipping a wire or summat to get all games working... Surely it's summat as simple as that to get it all working!
