Do you guys know what type of audio cable will be needed to get audio from the VGA cable?

People who bitch about the 360 being too loud never played the Dreamcast. ;)

It will just be L-R audio - the Dreamcast had no digital audio out or anything.

For what it's worth, I've got mine hooked up via S-Video...

Correct, but I see that it only has 1 hole for audio out?

Oh, if you're talking about that VGA cable linked earlier in the thread, it looks like a regular Stereo out Jack that would split in to L-R...

ah ok. Do you have it hooked up to your PC? Cause I will be playing this on my pc as I only have VGA input on for my 360. Since I have speakers to connected to the audio in on my pc would I need a special wire to connect to another port on the computer? Mic maybe?

I'm going to call you on that. I've never heard anything even remotely close to that about the Dreamcast's controllers.

I like how everyone points out how big the Dreamcast controller was, but always forget to mention how huge the original Xbox controller was. Yes they changed to a smaller controller later in the console's life, but who's to say Sega might not have done the same if they kept the Dreamcast around?

^--- It's not the size of the controller that people complain about, it's the design/ergonomics of it.

Nah. Hate 'em both. Wasn't a fan of the Xbox "Duke" either. The Wavebird was the best last gen with the Xbox-S a close second.
