I have an eBay buyer that can't get a PAL version of Skies of Arcadia to work. Can anybody verify that it is/isn't compatible?

I'm not from europe, but from what I've read online several forums comment about Skies of Arcadia along with a few other titles that support VGA in NTSC but don't support it in PAL (Code Veronica is another).

I use DC-X, and it works on mine.

My NTSC dreamcast will not play Bangai O when hooked up to my monitor via VGA box. Anyone know a workaround (besides just using a TV) ?

You can force it but it'll only display in the upper left quadrant of your screen.
