lol. Converting Soul Fighter to VGA-only took less than 10 minutes.

On track 15 at 0x33efa6de, change 0x38 to 0x01.

Codebreaker (have not personally tested):
0f0302de
0000e401

There's a very brief scrambled display for a quarter second right after the Licensed By screen, but I got in-game to the first level fine.

Excellent work, TapamN! Like before, here's a .DCP patch for use with my Universal Dreamcast Patcher. It was built against the NTSC-U version of the game. Note that this patch also sets the VGA flag in IP.BIN, as well as includes the missing disc art PVR. Simply load up the .DCP and either a TOSEC GDI or Redump CUE/BIN of the original, and let the patcher do the rest!

Well done !!
Maybe seven mansion would be also easy to add the vga patch ?
As a 3d game like Soul fighter.
But focus on the game you want of course.

Dont forget Airforce Delta, another great game with no VGA support.

Wow, you're on fire!! :)
Thank you so much for these patches/fixes!

No scrambled display (the quarter second one you've mentioned) on my setup. RGB this time is broken in the way, that the image is doubled horizontally. No criticism, just reporting back.

There's no need for a Codebreaker code for Soul Fighter. Simply booting the game through Codebreaker is enough to get the game to boot in VGA as Codebreaker skips the VGA flag check.
