Hey y'all! Absolutely loving my dreamcast. I actually got several of them now for repair. Definitely my favorite system.

My question is, what video cable would you go with for it? Mainly I use it on a CRT with component and s video inputs but it only came with a composite cable. Should I shell out for component or is s video fine ?

I have a retro tink 2x on my crappy insignia as well, but I'll mainly use the DC on CRT.

Then you can go vga to hdmi, but those overheat for gaming.

Well i mean if there is a normal Sega display to vga you could then convert it to hdmi easy enough.
