will a dreamcast be able to run with a vga adapter with a lap top? | ||||
|
||||
From what i've heard, it can't. | ||||
|
||||
I think it depends on the inputs on your laptop.
If your laptop has a input vga port, it could work. |
||||

if i took a picture of the ports could you tell me? sorry im not to good at computers | ||||

LCD screens (the kind used on laptops) usually don't handle resolutions other than native well. So even if it could input a VGA signal, I doubt it would look very good considering the Dreamcast resolution is very low compared to resolution used in computers nowadays (or even at the time).
Anyway the port your looking for is this but male (in other words it has pins instead of holes) |

I haven't ever come across a laptop with input, only output. | ||||

hah, i was wonderin the same thing since my roommates dominate the tv lately. my friend said the port should handle signals both ways... but he's an idiot so i didnt trust him at all. This is too bad. looks like i may need to get another small tv for games. | ||||

i would just go get a cheap CRT monitor. if you look on craigslistin your area. you can find then for under $20 for a 17 inch. if you have a thrift store they tend to have them for around $15 too. | ||||
