Last Blade 2 is too weak for my Dreamcast!

[Joe Redifer]

A friend lent me this game, and I refuse to have my Dreamcast hooked up in anything less than component/VGA (480p), so SNK games don't run because the programmers of these games obviously weren't very bright.  Is there a workaround that doesn't require me to hack up my Dreamcast or remove my current AV connection?

[SignOfZeta]

There are a few games you can trick into VGA using something like the Innovation Super Game Converter. It works for Sakura Wars 1 and 2, I know, but when I tried it with Jo Jo's it just gave me crazy out of synch video.

I'm trying to think of what a home brew version of the ISGC would be...

ROFL... Get an MVS Joe!

Component won't fix the crappiness of this port.

[Joe Redifer]

MVS is for poor and/or homeless people.

So Keranu... maybe my Dreamcast is trying to do me a favor by not letting me play it???

What about people with gonorrhea?

This.

Remember, kids, Agetec.  AGETEC.  It is also based off of the Neo CD version and not the AES version for some bizarro reason.  It's not as bad as DC Mark of the Wolves, but it is still subpar.

Wow, those were some quick replies, Joe and nat!

Well your Dreamcast is not letting you play it because it's actually too weak to handle it. Not only is the picture quality greatly inferior to the original Neo Geo version, but it's too wimpy that it relies on macro buttons for the supers!

[Joe Redifer]

What about people with gonorrhea?

Those people need to get the Neo Geo CD.

WTF does Agetec have anything to do with it? All they do is change a game's region and add their name to the box. I actually quite like a lot of stuff Agetec published.

[Hobo Xiphas]

Well, they royally screwed up their Neo Geo fighter ports, and I'll never forgive them for that, buster.   

[Michael Helgeson]

Totally agreed,Agetec ruined every Neo port they released here by one method or another. In all the SNK titles,blood removed,and the marketing was poor. Why play a Last Blade with no blood,thats more gay then gay porn. Thats f*ckin rainbow (for you Hammad) as far as I am concerned. And yea,also,the video quality just kinda sucked on the DC ports of Last Blade 2 and Garou. Joe,since you don't want a MVS,brag how its for the poor,then just buy the AES cart and don't mention any other port of a Neo title ever again. If you have the cash to blow $60-200 on games I can get for $10-70 they hey,go for it guy. In the end my game selection I think is still going to fair better then yours. And complete MVS kits have nicer things come with them then complete AES carts.

[Joe Redifer]

You are so hung up on the MVS, I like saying anything pro-AES since I know you hate it to death as well as the people who use it.

Anyway why would I buy a game that I've never played before?  True, I can afford it, but that doesn't mean I buy shit because people say I should for that price.  Got my ass burned with the shitty Samurai Shodown already, and that was like $5 complete/mint.  You seem to like shitty games, so I'd really like to try before I buy with your stellar recommendations.  Your opinion means nothing to me.

[Kitsunexus]

Look, everybody LOVES the Dreamcast and shit, but Sega's aborted fetus is not that great in the NeoGeo port department.

Hell, just get a computer and use your HDTV as a monitor and just play WinKawaks or some shit.

Snk vs Capcom works in 480.
