Video is self explanatory :D Watch before buying!

Shipping was prompt, no complaints about that, but i expected to be playing my Dreamcast in somewhat Hi-Def, but NO! This cable is complete garbage, the yellow video cable is the only video that works! The S-Vid just gives black and white, This is the second cable I have purchased from this seller that has been nothing but crap, do not buy, go get a VGA box instead!!!

Nice picture, too bad it is in black and white. I should have read the reviews before buying this product.

This cable is useless.

Do you know what a SNAFU is? It means that everything is fine one moment, and the next everything is messed up, or in other words Situation Normal All Fudged Up. So I bought these cables and they worked fine; the picture was better and everything that I said it was and everthing was fine. Then I tried to move the system and I had to take the cable out. Now I remember it being a tight fit going in, but some cables are just like that, but getting them out was ridiculous. I tried to be gentle but it just split in half leaving the connector in my system and the casing in my hand. Not cool. I took some needle nose pliers to get them out, and taped the casing together around the connector. It worked once more and I was willing to just accept that. I was then having trouble with my DC and had to take them out again, same thing happened. Now they don't work at all. Now I immagine this is just this off brand that has the issue so I you could get a pair of official cables that would be the best. I would buy another set but I think I would have the same problem.

My reccomendation now is to get the VGA box. Yes, it is more exepensive and combersome, but for the extra $15 is costs (as long as you have the cables) you can get all of your video options in one place. Many people have a VGA option on their HD sets anymore and even if you're just using the S Video option it's nice to have everything there.

Do not buy these cables unless you can get an official set. These are "inovation" brand and they are junk. Trust the video review, I should have. Get the VGA box with A/V jacks, you'll be happy you did.

This is a junk non working product flat out, do not buy from these clowns folks. I could hsve saved the cash for a working product.

This is the only way to get the best picture quality from your Sega Dream cast!

This s video plug sucks because the s video dose not work only the av work and it's cheaply made the part that plugs into the dreamcast broke already I had to fix it with tape. I basically just got it like 30 to 40 day ago

First one is bad, only display in black and white, with S-Video. Regular video is okay, but I bought the cable for S-video.

Return it to Amazon and ask for replacement.
Second one, exactly same problem.
Going to return it too.

I bought this cable hoping to get a superior picture using the s-video connector. It took 5 minutes of trying to get the connector to fit my TV (causing unnecessary wear on my TV connector) and it DOESN'T EVEN WORK. The S video picture comes through as black and white.

Stay away from this TOTAL PIECE OF JUNK cable. I am returning mine immediately.

The cables were very cheaply made, the wire casing on the S-Video and Composite cables were thin and weak. The S-Video itself was very poorly produced and would not connect into my HDTV's S-Video connection without some effort on my part. Once the S-Video was connected the picture displayed in black & white with horizontal gray lines throughout the picture. This is a very poor product, I would recommend that anyone considering these cables avoid them at all costs. If you are looking to improve the quality of your Dreamcast's picture on your HDTV then spend the extra $15 and get yourself a Dreamcast VGA Adapter. The quality is much better and you won't have to deal with the hassle of having to return these cables once you realize how poor the quality of manufacturing is and/or receive defective cables as I did.
