I can FINALLY Play My Sega Dreamcast Again thru the RetroTink 5x!

Several years ago, I upgraded my upscaler setup in my game room from an OSSC to a RetroTink 5x, and I have loved that change. I used to have issues syncing video from my N64 and SNES thru the OSSC and the RetroTink 5X just.. works. Well, mostly. See, one thing missing from the RetroTInk 5x that the OSSC has is a VGA input, as you can get a low-cost VGA cable to get really good video for the Dreamcast. The RetroTink 5X can't do this. So what is one to do? I have an HDMI mod that I've just not installed, but I finally got my hands on an ideal solution from Rondo Products. And now, oh my friends now I can FINALLY Play My Sega Dreamcast Again!

Order the HD15 VGA 2 SCART adapter at https://collabs.shop/l1alko

While the RetroTink 5x doesn't have a VGA input, it does has RGB SCART, and here is our opportunity. Rondo Products sells a VGA-2-SCART adapter, and best of all it's only $30! THis will convert my incoming VGA connector to SCART, which I can then run into my SCART Switcher, and from there go into my RetroTink 5X. BRILLIANT!

So why would I want to do this vs just installing the HDMI mod? Well, there's a few reasons. When I got the Mod Kit, it was before I had suffered an attack of Bell's Palsey. That really messed up my eyesight, even to this day. As such I no longer have the confidence I can perform delicate work such as this an longer. Secondly, while HDMI is convenient, it's also a lot of work. Going from a VGA cable to a SCART connector means I can also upscale the image up to 5x through the RetroTink!

So if you're keeping score this requires no mods, no soldering, no hard installation, AND you can get potentially BETTER video quality! I am so glad that Rondo Products got these back in stock, as I cannot wait to play my DreamCast yet again. After all, it's been thinking a long time.
