You'll get the same effect in MvsC2, the backgrounds will be great but the sprites will look terrible, I think the onlt fighter that looks good in a VGA box is guilty gear, but I'm not sure.

Or just lower the sharpness of the display. Many people also say 2D low rez fighters are worse in VGA, but it's just preference really. I think VGA is worth it in all situations. Once you get used to console games in progressive scan, it's very hard to go back to interlaced.

I've got that VGA Box. I don't have that problem with the switch. It's probably an easy fix anyways.

If there is one physical gripe about the hardware, it would be that on both the VGA box and VGA cable, the connector going into the DC is VERY touchy. You gatta make sure it's pressed in all the way, and it's not quite an exact fit. Both of mine like to pivot around inside the jack, and sometimes lose the Blue Color connection. I fixed both by adding some sticky tape around the connector, to add some much needed thickness to keep it held firmly in the jack.

Also, the VGA cable offers slightly less impressive picture quality. It has a very subtle set of dark wavelines moving up the screen at all times, which are only seen on bright white screens like the Swirl boot screen. Maybe mine is just a little faulty, but I don't care. I prefer the box.

I guess you should be right.. well, the international shipment is 3$ plus, not to talk about its price.. But wahtever.. I just have a question know about the box then. For eg, there is a game that doesnt support VGA, i use the vga boz s-video instead, dont I? (i think that for that, I need the s-video cable?)
