If you have to overhaul your cable collection just to make your components all link to your TV with S-video, consider purchasing a new TV rather than new cables. S-video cables don't support audio. If you don't have separate cables for audio, purchase them when you buy your S-video cable.

This game does not support av cable
I’m new to Dreamcast collecting and am mostly in it for the great selection of fighting games. Today I got a vga to hdmi converter and put in power stone first. It looked great and there was no noticeable lag. Then I put in plasma sword and got a message saying that the game does not support the av cable being used. Is there a reliable work around for this or should I just try a av to hdmi set up? I would appreciate any input.

Information:
- Some newer TVs do not have the traditional 'yellow' video input, known as an 'AV' connection. Even without that input, you should be able to use the standard three-color Wii AV Cable that came with the system.
What to Do:
- Look for 'component' inputs on your TV. These connections have a row of five differently-colored inputs (green, blue, and red for video, white and red for audio). If you have more than one set of component inputs, it's the first set that generally works with standard AV cables. Look for a set that has a green input with yellow around it, or the word 'video' just above or below it.
- Plug the yellow end of the Wii A/V cable into this green 'Y' input. Plug the white end into the audio 'L' and the red into the audio 'R.' Leave the blue and second red holes open.
- Turn on your Wii console and set your television to the input select being used.
- If you are seeing the image from the Wii in black and white, try the following to get the image in color:
- Cycle through your television's input channels (usually with the 'Input Select' or 'Source' button on your TV's remote control) to find the input select that has the image in color.
- If you're only finding the image in black and white, you may need to switch the setting of the input select from a component signal to a standard AV signal. This can be done by:
- An on screen menu option. This is often accessed by using the 'Menu' button on the remote.
- A button on the remote that switches between the standard and component signals. These can be labeled such things as 'AV' or 'Video.'
Additional Information:
Note: Sharp Aquos Quattron (4-Color) TV:Some models of Sharp Aquos Quattron televisions have a mini-plug (headphone jack) input for the standard AV cable connection. There are two ways to connect the Wii console to these TVs:
- Purchase an adapter which allows standard AV cables to be connected to the mini-plug (headphone jack) port on the back of the TV. This is typically available through the manufacturer's website.
- As an alternative, it is possible to purchase component cables for the Wii console.
