Dreamcast:List of RGB Patches
RGB compatibility on the SEGA Dreamcast is a complicated subject. Because each and every piece of software (i.e., game) on the console is responsible for performing all of the video initialization tasks directly in its own code, there are inconsistencies in both RGB and VGA compatibility across the library.
That being said, RGB is undoubtedly the most complicated. Not only are numerous games incompatible with RGB, but oftentimes a game is uniquely incompatible if the console region is PAL, whereas that same game would work over RGB without issue on a North American or Asian console.
Creating, collecting, and publishing RGB patches for the Dreamcast has never been done particularly well, nor has thorough testing. The patches below were created by Derek Pascarella (ateam) and tested by a few members of the community. He notes that users may experience issues depending on their console region, but welcomes any reports on issues.
With the exception of one, all of these patches are meant to be applied to either TOSEC-format GDIs or Redump-format CUE/BIN using Universal Dreamcast Patcher version 1.8 or newer. For the one patch in xdelta format, Delta Patcher can be used specifically against the TOSEC-format GDI.
