I feel like Im missing something here. I've seen a couple of posts about most dreamcast games being vga compatible, but when I look on the back of the games I have, it looks like at least half are not. Huh?

I wonder if this is because most people use CD-rs and at least 95% of games are patched to work with a VGA cable now days.
Also, I have two super generic VGA cables that were maybe $15 each. Never had an issue with either one as far as video quality or buzzing audio is concerned.
Not every piece of supported hardware is mentioned on every game, especially US release. The VGA box was not promoted in any way in the states, I’m not sure if OEM ones ever were sold here. So many games work and they just don’t mention it.
From my experience usually the games that don’t work or work badly if tricked are 2D or have some 2D aspects to them. I’m not sure why this is but that’s what I’ve noticed. The 2D fighters come to mind but also even some games like Sakura Wars 1 or 2 (one or both of them, I can’t remember) have a malfunction or two if played in VGA even if the rest of the game is fine. The other two SW games are native to DC (1 and 2 were ports of SS games) and used no code in common, are largely 3D, and work great in VGA as do many games from my experience and I’ve played almost nothing but originals.
I would go check Skies of Arcadia right now but my f*cking power just went out and it’s going to hit 11F tonight so I have to go haul some f*cking wood into the house. WeeeeeeehhhAaaaas!
