Hey whats up everybody, this is my first post as well as my first project,i plan on making a sega dreamcast laptop out of the system, a keyboard which has a switch to switch from third player to keyboard, and a 15"/17" screen.

First off, the main thing i don't know how to do is how to route power from the sega dreamcast to the screen on one cable, if all else fails, i cna just use an extension cord with a 2 way splitter on the inside.

Second, how would i go about making the 3rd player port switch from the controller to the keyboard.

Will post pictures of my design soon!

Thanks for that link, I will be doing the vga mod on my dreamcast, but i don't want to use a switch, the guide i have tells me how to do it without a switch, so i need to look into that. If anybody on here would be willing to sell/donate a dreamcast, that would be greatly appreciated.
