Dreamcast Taisen Cable (ドリームキャスト 対戦ケーブル) or Dreamcast VS Cable is a cable used to link two Sega Dreamcast consoles together, for the benefit of games which support more than four players. The official VS Cable was not released released outside of Japan and is unusually rare, however unofficial third-party alternatives are more common and have seen a release in more regions.
Only five games are known to support the VS Cable; significantly fewer than those cable of connecting to each other via the internet. Of these, only three were released outside of Japan: Aero Dancing F (AeroWings 2) had VS Cable support removed in its international releases (though traces still remain on the disc), while Cyber Troopers Virtual-On: Oratorio Tangram M.S.B.S. Ver. 5.4 and F355 Challenge hide the functionality behind cheat codes.
The Sega Saturn equivalent is the Taisen Cable.
