Perhaps your cable isn't working anymore ? Also check your TV's input setting.

i have use a few cables that i found none i can test to see if they work but what do u mean by settings on my tv

In some CRTs you have to set the channels to get a picture: In my (European) TV it's channel 36 for RF and AV1 for RGB Scart. In addition on my previous TV (now in our living room) I need to set the channel first and then turn on the DC before I can get a picture.

What cable are you using and what TV (CRT, LCD, etc.) ?

its this tv http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000022UHG/ref=dp_image_text_0/105-8301510-1336431?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics

and this adapter http://www.affordablehomeelectronics.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=86952

the adapter description doesn't say anything about supporting the dreamcast at all. so may be thats the problem
