Has anybody taken a Dreamcast VGA cable and then connected that to a VGA-to-Component Cable before hooking it up to an HDTV?
If so, it it worth a $15 investment in a converting cable over a normal RCA/Composite?

VGA to HDMI? Not only would that be retarded, but any stand-alone device that does it would be super expensive.
Anyways I believe someone I know online did it when he got his HDTV recently. I will ask him next time he's on. I am curious as to how it would work as well. I have been told that SOME vga to component adaptors, like the common one from ATI, will not work, but the people failed to explain why.
