Anyone know where I can buy a Scart cable that will work with a US Dreamcast?
I bought a scart cable for my US dreamcast and it wont work, it is a Pelican branded Euro scart one. The screen just is all scrambled and rotates rapidly vertically
I mostly play Gunbird 2 and Project Justice on my DC.
Anybody know if these games support scart?
Anybody have a list of games that won't support scart?

I'd like to know this too. I don't want to get some cable that won't work.
It's time for my Dreamcast to shine, baby!
EDIT: Anybody get theirs from here? http://www.retrogamingcables.com/sega-dreamcast-rgb-av-scart-cable-tv-lead-cord-for-sale.html
You would just use the service menu via OSD. You don't need to open the 20L5 to do most the adjustments.
Open up the bandridge by removing the 7 screws on the bottom. They are below little caps/covers.
Then you can either clip one side of the diode marked D2 on the pcb or take out the internal PCB and follow the instructions in the shmups thread.
Ok so you went with the last post about the two diodes, thanks! I was curious because one said jumper, one said cut a trace, and one said the diodes lol. Would you bother putting a jumper on D1?
Not entirely sure, however my guess is because input 5 is intended to be bidirectional for recording purposes and that's most likely what is messing everything up for folks.
In the end, cutting the trace or diode does the same thing.
Ok thanks, how did you remove the feet? Someone mentioned blu tack but I dont have any of that handy.
You can thread a small screw into the caps and then pull on the screw to pop them out.
Then just toss the caps when you are done since then have small holes in them.
I have modded a couple and that's what I did.
Hey Skips, Just wanted to let you know that I got my BKM-129X in the mail today, installed it and bingo, no more shaking etc on RGB.
Thanks so much for your help, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
I had this bad feeling it wasn't going to resolve the problem and I'd have to dump this amazing display. But when I booted up 240p suite with the Wii connected via SCART it worked flawlessly!,tested with the other problematic consoles and they work perfect too!
I am curious why the issue occurs with the on board inputs, maybe I can find a replacement board. But they work fine with component/composite so I will just use them for that till I figure it out. I think it might be they are not automatically terminating, ordered some 75 ohm bnc terminators to test out the theor.
Thanks again, super happy retro gamer!

Ended up clipping D2 and was still losing sync, so I put a jumper wire in place of D1 and now I am good =)
Could try a degaus wand
True, but will set me back nearly the cost of the monitor.
