The vast majority of the Dreamcast game library has either native VGA (i.e., 480p) support, or can be forced to run in VGA mode. Several games which cannot be forced have had VGA patches developed for them.
Forcing VGA Mode
Forcing a game to boot in VGA mode is achievable in several ways, depending on hardware configuration.
- ODE
- GDEMU - Set "Force VGA" to "On" in GDMenu settings.
- MODE - Set "Auto VGA Patch" to "On" in the settings menu.
- Original Disc
- Use a boot disc like "Code Breaker" to force a game to boot in VGA mode.
- Emulator
- By default, most Dreamcast emulators are set to VGA mode, which also serves to force boot where available.
Additionally, disc images can be rebuilt to turn on the VGA support flag inside the IP.BIN file. Patching IP.BIN can be achieved through manual modification via hex editor, or with a utility like IP.BIN 4 WIN.
VGA Patches
The following list represents games which had no native VGA support across all three territories (PAL, NTSC-U, NTSC-J) until a patch was developed. Note that additional VGA patches have been developed outside of those listed below (namely for PAL titles), but are considered redundant as their NTSC-U equivalents already have native VGA support.
The below patches (and more) were developed by japanese-cake, and are available for download here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/yaq1g1es3zo99/jc-dc-patches
