Right now I have just finished making the internal VGA mod for my Dreamcast and have just tryed it out, however I'm having a few random problems??
It works ok but sometimes (particularly if you move the switch wires AT ALL - I mean the tinyest knock) and then the screen will go off or flicker. I know the wires are soldered to the switch fine so can't be that.
Also the actual switch I put in dosent really work? If in VGA mode and you flick the switch it stays in VGA mode (should go off shouldnt it as I'm breaking the connection?) I followed this guide and am sure I've done everything correctly as I checked everything about 5 times.

Instead of linking the earths on the VGA switch I considered putting 2 seperate earths but thats all I can think of that may effect it - anyone any ideas?
Thanks
