Internal HDMI kit for Dreamcast: the console's digital image, without a detour through analogue
A VGA or SCART to HDMI adapter plugged into the back converts a signal that has already been turned analogue. This internal HDMI kit for Dreamcast works differently: it picks up the image in digital form on the motherboard and outputs it via HDMI, up to 1080p according to the supplier. It is a workshop mod, permanently installed in the console.
What it does
- Digital to digital: the image is taken before its analogue conversion, without the loss of an external converter.
- HDMI output up to 1080p: output resolution stated by the supplier, for a modern TV.
- Installed inside the console: no more box or adapter cable at the back of the Dreamcast.
What it doesn't do
- It cannot be installed without opening the console: it is an internal kit, requiring complete disassembly and fine soldering.
- It does not add detail to games: the Dreamcast renders its images at 480p at best, the 1080p output is upscaling.
- It is only suitable for the Dreamcast: no other console is covered.
- It does not repair a faulty console: a defective drive, power supply or board must be dealt with separately.
Compatibility
Dreamcast. Motherboard revisions do not all have the same layout: identify yours when you open the console, and write to our customer service before ordering if you want confirmation for your console. No other console is covered.
Skill level required
Advanced. Complete disassembly of the Dreamcast, connecting the kit to the motherboard by fine soldering, routing the cable and fixing the HDMI socket. Depending on the location chosen for the socket, cutting the shell may be necessary. Have a fine-tip soldering iron, flux, desoldering braid and Phillips screwdrivers ready. If you have never soldered on a motherboard, have the installation done by a workshop.
In the box
- 1 internal HDMI kit for Dreamcast.
- 1 or 2 cables depending on the chosen variant.

The job: a Dreamcast with built-in HDMI
You open the Dreamcast, connect the kit to the motherboard, fix the HDMI socket and close it up. No more adapter dangling at the back, no more analogue conversion: the console connects to a modern TV with a simple HDMI cable, like a recent machine, while keeping its original hardware.
The part: a digital-to-digital kit
An external converter works on a signal that has already been turned analogue. This kit, on the other hand, picks up the image before that conversion and transmits it via HDMI, up to 1080p according to the supplier. The Dreamcast remains a 480p console: you gain in signal clarity, not in detail within the games.
Support: a mod for experienced hands
This kit requires soldering on the motherboard of a console more than twenty years old. Work with a fine-tip iron, flux and patience, or have the installation done by a workshop. Before ordering, our customer service replies within 1 business day to your questions about your console's revision.

Frequently Asked Questions
🔧 Do I need to solder to install this kit?
Yes. It is an internal kit: it connects to the motherboard by fine soldering. If you have never soldered on a motherboard, have the installation done by a workshop.
🎮 Which consoles is it compatible with?
With the Dreamcast only. Motherboard revisions do not all have the same layout: write to our customer service before ordering if you want confirmation.
✂️ Do I need to cut the shell?
That depends on the location chosen for the HDMI socket. A cut-out may be necessary to fix it neatly.
📦 What is in the box?
The internal HDMI kit and one or two cables, depending on the chosen variant.
🧰 What tools do I need?
A fine-tip soldering iron, flux, desoldering braid, Phillips screwdrivers and, depending on the socket location, a plastic cutting tool.
📺 Does 1080p make games more detailed?
No. The Dreamcast renders its images at 480p at best. The 1080p output is upscaling suited to modern TVs, not a gain in detail.
🚚 What are the delivery times?
Delivery in 10 to 18 days, dispatched within 3 to 5 days.
🛡️ Which guarantee applies?
2-year legal guarantee of conformity. 14-day returns. Our customer service replies within 1 business day.
Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.
Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.
A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
