Sega Dreamcast VGA Mod

Step 8 Solder the circuit

This is a real ratsnest of wires, but it works. I used standard strip-board to mount the circuit, although if you really wanted to, you could etch a printed circuit board. The wires are each threaded through a couple holes before they are soldered, just for added strength. After you've soldered all of the stuff to the board, cover the bottom of it with electrical tape to avoid shorting it out on something.

Don't solder the wires to the VGA connector until you've made a hole in the case in which to mount it. Thread the wires through the hole and then solder them to the connector. It's just easier to mount if you do it that way. Also, if you made the hole too big, the metal tabs on the VGA connector will cover the gaps.
