Few questions about Dreamcast Modding

[IceCold]

Hey guys, I'm new around here, the Mods I have seen are quite amazing, really like what you guys are doing. As far as the Portable Dreamcast and N64, as well as the portable SNES I've seen on here, quite amazing! The questions I have are, A VGA Mod for the Dreamcast, I've seen the one floating around on multiple sites, I was just wondering if someone could break it down for me. As far as what is required to do the mod, and how to do it. I'm not very good at understanding the picture that was shown.

Although I have done some soldering projects, as far as an EEProm reader goes for the Xbox which was my 1st soldering project. I hope you allow links, if not I'll remove it. This is the project I did. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/357863" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; As you can see it's broken down and very detailed. I understood that one very well.

I would also like to possibly install a Reset switch, and I really would like to install a Headphone jack. Another thing I would like to do is possibly install an RCA port on it. Also, possibly a few LED's, such as changing out the one that comes in it. I'm new to Dreamcast modding, so if anyone could give me some detailed information on the mods I have listed about would be great! Thanks!

Oops double post.

Looks like you're going to have to learn more on your own, as hand-holding guides are few and far between. Look through the projects and guides posted in this forum, and also check out Youtube. After a bit of effort, you should have a general understanding of how things work. After you have a general understanding, you can come back and ask specific questions for what you don't understand.

Which side of those capacitors is positive? I've always wondered that...

Use ceramic caps, no polarity.

Look at the rating. When you can find a 220uF ceramic cap, PM me and I will eat this shirt (metaphorically).
