Kaico Dreamcast HDMI Adapter, Plug & Play Converter with VGA & RGBS Support

What a brilliant bit of kit. I’m going through a restoration phase with my old consoles and this is a must buy for the Dreamcast. The visuals are fantastic when run through this little plugin device, I had contemplated installing a build in HDMI to the Dreamcast but this has saved me loads of money. Doesn’t require any external power it literally is ‘plug and play’. Highly recommended buy

I had 2 connectors for my dreamcast through the ariel and a scart lead. Both didnt work, i just heard sound. i feared it was the machine itself. This connector is expensive…. I thought it would be ok if it worked… but only if …. Its a 5 star review because it connected up nicely and with an hdmi cable the machine works perfectly! Delighted i can play those retro games again, but im still struggling on resident evil!

Great adapter does exactly what it's supposed to do. Play dreamcast on modern tv's. Plug and play

Really good product. Easy to use. The only reason I haven't given a 5 star is because the connection to the dreamcast is a little shoddy. The plastic casing around the connector isn't the best quality and is very loose. It still works to a very high standard though so I am happy with the product

This is a very good product as far as plug & play goes. I'm running it through my old 32 inch sony bravia tv & my favourite Dreamcast games are getting played much more now compared to my CRT TV. There are less than 20 minor games that don't work through this, but my faves - VF3, Speed Devils, Incoming, Daytona 2001, Shadowman, Sega Rally 2, Soul Calibur, plus loads of others, are now looking very sharp indeed. Speed Devils is a very good example, & Metropolis Street Racer as well, as these two looked rather fuzzy & blurry on the CRT, which is what they were destined to be played on. They now look really great thanks to this HDMI converter. If you go into dark areas such as in Shadowman, you can see the feint vertical lines present, but they don't show up in normally lit areas. In other words, well done Kaico, for making this simple plug & play device. Highly recommended & at a very reasonable price. 😁👍🎮

I have never written a review before on amazon (at least I think), but this HDMI converter was so impressive that it's worth leaving one for. Works seamlessly on a modern PC monitor and outputs amazing audio and video with no noticeable input delay. I've used AV converters before that cost twice as much and leave noise and artefacts, but this is truly as close as you'll get to perfection without using a HDMI mod on the Dreamcast console. A solid 10/10 for me, I'm definitely looking into buying the same brand for my original Xbox also.

This is a well made product, designed to actually just work. I didn't want to mess around trying to get a dodgy cable to work with a Dreamcast and this seemed like it would do the job. It certainly did. It really is just plug and play and takes the uncertainty out of whether you have a dud Dreamcast or not. Picture and sound quality is good. Happy with my purchase.

I generally use an RGB SCART on my O.S.S.C. for all my retro console needs. However, using SCART on a Dreamcast puts out 625i image (or something like that) according to the O.S.S.C. Interlaced images aren't that great when trying to use old consoles on flatscreen TV's and for me, the flicker causes a mild headache. This will not do. I don't have a VGA box, these can get expensive. However, this great item puts your (amazing) Dreamcast into a 480p image, as if using a VGA & it is literally a night/day switch for my eyes. Plug it in, switch on your Dreamcast and I can search for sailors and get caught in a T.o.D in Marvel with a crystal clear pictured! No scanlines (if that's your thing) but for this price you really can NOT go wrong. My Dreamcast games have never looked so good, I'm playing it more often and picking up more games thanks to how this makes them look and I heartily recommend it. Also #FREEMVC2 !

I waited 20+ years to finally play the Dreamcast. This device works great with 4K TV. Plug and play!

Works as advertised: just plug n play. Hooked up to a 4K TV, the picture quality is way better in VGA mode. Quick tip: if the game you want to play shows an error code saying it won’t play in VGA mode, there’s an easy hack where you turn off the game console, switch the converter to RGBS mode, turn the console back on and as it’s booting up listen for a faint beep sound (happens in just a few seconds)…when you hear that beep, flip the switch back over to VGA and chances are it will then load the game (you might see some screen-flicker at first, but this is normal and brief). This trick worked on my old original VGA DC converter, and it works on this one too.

Does what it says in product description and converts VGA to HDMI for your dreamcast. Works well but with everything dreamcast you may have issues playing some games with it since it converts VGA to HDMI and certain titles do not support VGA output

Iv'e purchased this adapter for my well beloved dreamcast. It's just mindblowing how good the resolution is on my LG smart tv with this retro console. Rayman 2 played like a charm and other games as well, The only little downside it's the little HDMI-brick 's size.. when you want to place your console under your TV it can be tricky to place everything without bending the cable. It's not such a big of a deal though cause if you're know what you're doing it shouldn't be a thing. Anyhow: great adapter, and beware: it's not an upscaler.
