It really is amazing how well the video quality of the original Xbox has held up all these years later
Yep, perhaps only surpassed by the console it got some inspiration from, the Sega Dreamcast! The DC looks amazing via VGA cable, and most games officially or unofficially support it.
17 years and still have mine.
20 years

hope you changed the clocok capacitor cause they all end up leaking eventually and destroying the board
I did not h he the colock capcitator
But it still good
6:59 This is a big deal that you just glossed over; this adapter can output the Dolby Digital 5.1 signal from the Xbox's S/PDIF output over HDMI, while other Xbox HDMI solution only output stereo audio converted from the Xbox's analog stereo audio output. The Xbox was the first console to have real time in-game Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (provided by Nvidia's Soundstorm hardware) and native HD 720p output before the Xbox 360 came along.
Yeah i bought the special cable to be able to connect optical cable for 5.1 surround, back in the day. Had a small tv screen but very good audio on my bed room. Great for gaming dvds and music too. Good times, Original Xbox was awesome.
The answer to the very question I had about having access to the _surround_ audio if I didn't have the original XBox component-video output adapter for the Toslink connection. _Thanks!_
... So the optical output on my PS2 only ever gave gaming surround audio in the ~cut-scenes , not in-game?
It can, but you have to add the "optional" toslink/optical audio port. Without that, you can't have 5.1.
@@LordRayken
The Chimeric Systems adapter sends the Dolby Digital/DTS/PCM from S/PDIF over HDMI.
@@Crlarl no it doesn't. You can see the optical port
Woohoo! Always nice to get more options, specially if they're well designed and fairly priced like the Chimeric Systems HDMI Adapter. Nice work!
Out of all the videos you'll find about this topic, this one is easily the best. Great explanation, decent production values, extremely clear how each step works and provides various ways of doing it.
Thanks a lot. Got yourself a subscriber! :-)
I legitimately became worried for a split second because I thought it was going to be a MetalJesusRocks video, until I saw that it was RetroRGB.
Nothing against the dude, I think he’s cool. He just talks about the cheap HDMI solutions like they’re perfect.
One should mention, that this only works on NTSC Xbox'es. PAL Xbox'es have to be (soft)modded to even output 480p - 1080i.
@@thorbampougias311 I assume he meant the broader audience, not you in personal :)
Exactly
(Edited 09.01.2022 because I made some typing mistakes)
Not necessarily. You could use the exploit of Splinter Cell (or any other game that has an exploit) to just run Enigmah-X to set your console to NTSC. This alone makes the console output NTSC and gives you access to all the higher resolutions. Note that it doesn't change the region of the console so while you can't play US games with that alone you can at least play PAL games in 480p which there are many of which that support 480p. But of course, once you go that far, you might as well install a softmod on it, install a custom Dashboard and so on.
@@danielblack6529 All my OG Xbox are either soft or chip modded, but the average Joe might already face issues running the splinter cell exploit.
I didn’t realize that. That’s weak.
Just made a few sets of my own component cables using some of the official Xbox 360 component cables I had lying around.
Chop the plug end off both cables, pull back the sheathing on the OG plug, solder wires from Xbox 360 component cable to OG Xbox plug appropriately, and re-apply sheathing. You now have a great, and cheap component cable for OG Xbox. You do have to jump 4 pins together in the plug in order to enable "component video mode". Picture is immaculate, and arguably better than using the official HD pack from the OG era.
Made 5 of these already, and they all work very nice. The X360 component cable had pretty good shielding, and that benefits the OG Xbox you plug it into.
I have done 3 and would like to add, I have zero soldering skills. It just takes patience. I had these cords laying around. It looks way better than my Chinese cord off amazon. Good first solder project in my opinion.
Any access/connectivity available to the surround audio with that mod? Looking for the cheapest route here for C-V & SA.
any chance you could do a video on it? sounds like a cool diy project that more people could hear about!
Bonus: If you're using the SD/HD Xbox 360 cable, you can use the yellow RCA connector for S/PDIF.
@@Crlarl ,
Woah! Didn't know the cable could send digital coaxial down that cable let alone without noise/interference. Both original Xbox as well as 360 have option to operate that way when using that cable? 🤔 hm.
Thanks for keeping us updated with this and future projects, man! I always look forward to your objective outlook and willingness to test basically anything.
Thanks for watching!
Just picked up one of the original Xbox HD packs a couple of weeks ago. It works really well. 😁
This is really helpful, thanks for the info. Liked and subscribed!
YES!!! Finally some Xbox love!
TofumanFC3S I know fuck the ps2
I remember back in the days, RCA made a CRT SDTV with an XBOX input socket called a vport. It looked somewhat like the AV port on the back of the XBOX, and it used a special cable to connect the XBOX to the TV. It fed a component signal, so the picture was nice and sharp.
I bought that tv used and it’s 32 inches…probably around 60 lbs. I use my Dreamcast on it.
I bought the OG Xbox HD cables when Xmen Legends 2 came out as it was 720p and I had a 16x9 HD CRT that took 480/720p and 1080i signals that I was using as a monitor for my pc at the time
Nice! That was a sweet setup.
I used to run my Xbox with the Monster component on a 32 inch HD CRT. Loved it.
I also use an HD CRT for my Xbox
If supported (like on many 4 : 3 CRTs) , does the RGB mod+switch to the component-video input on those widescreen CRTs prove as advantageous to the visuals as it does on the 4 : 3 CRTs?
Bob Bob Bob!! What an amazing video, the transition, everything !! Good job mate, I'm so proud being a Patron, you give so much value video wyse! I was like how come he didn't talk about this mod or that mod, but you did cover them at the end, which was really nice of you :) I really love the format, keep'em coming! Plus I always learn something out of them, did not even know there was a new HDMI box available.
Thanks so much!
Just bare in mind that for using component direct to the panel, you're likely to be at the mercy of what the tv does to lock in to a specific display process. In addition, you'll also have overscan to deal with.
If you can switch the input label to PC, you might be able to bypass the processing and hopefully remove the overscan. Otherwise I had success with the OSSC as input via HDMI does not suffer from any setting lock.
Best retro (mod/uppgrade) channel on TH-cam!
Nice video dude, love the Rust In Peace Dean back there 👀
Watched this video again and I wanted to add that if you are a OSSC owner retro gaming cables UK does offer a scart cable that carries the component video signal. I bought one and it does work but I can’t test any games yet because I my Xbox needs some fixing but I can boot the system up and change the resolution in the system menu.
I searched for this literally 10 minutes ago and on your webpage! xD What are the odds of this video coming out right now!? o_O
Its called (web)cookies
Its 11 min
DUDE! This is a great breakdown/analysis of all the options for modern play on the OG Xbox!! Really appreciate it, man.
I just discovered this vid and your channel because I was google'ing options on how to get started gaming again on the OG system, but with a modern TV, and this link came up for me. Needless to say, I have liked and subscribed!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks for watching!
7:18 - "audio conversion chip allows the Digital Audio to be passed over HDMI, including surround sound." - THIS!!!! FREAKING THIS!!!!! I am sold. Bob, any chance you can review this? This is my primary reason for staying away from all other Xbox HDMI products, and now I found one to get.
FYI this design was stolen by the guys who make it. Lukas Deitz made the original.
@@stevenbenson9976 what do you mean stolen?, Is it not an open source design?, If yes, was the original creator not credited?
@@captain_jerkass ,
(Same question about being stolen versus open source and original creator being credited.)
You get a good result running your original Xbox though the tv hdmi input on a Xbox one x or Xbox one s and tbh I haven't really noticed any lag but that just might be me.
Awesome, i am looking for a HDMI solution for my OG Xbox and this video makes it very clear, need to play around with the cable i have now (that was very expensive back in the day and have SVideo, Component and more) and i think i will ben going for the Chimeric Systems. I have 2 OG Xbox's so that will be a win win :D
Helpful video! I have some of those Monster component cables but wasn't sure what the best route is these days. I guess I'll get a cheap converter.
I'm not sure whether my monitor will handle the interlaced signals (my television is busted), but it's the cheapest gamble at the moment, and the Chimeric adapters are sold out!
Yup, if you already have the Monster component cables, just pick up a cheap component to HDMI converter here: www.amazon.com/shop/retrorgb?listId=IP72N6BL06SV
Great video! Really helpful
I just made my own component cables out of OEM 360 cables yesterday, totally worth the effort!
I did that as well.
Is there anyway to keep the toslink output by doing this?
57Rye I’m not sure, maybe? There’s a pin out available if you google it. I know the OEM hd video pack has digital audio.
Thanks to the quarantine i finally finished my cable last nite. What are the chances
57Rye I know someone on eBay sold these modded cables and I believe they also had one with the toslink
There's also the issue of rolling video. Even with shielded cables it's terrible in 480i but it's not as noticeable (if there are any problems) in the other resolutions. I believe you can replace some capacitors but I don't have the soldering skill to do it.
Ever since I got my OG Xbox I've had the Monster component cables with the accompanying TOSLINK optical cable. For some reason only the component signal from my Xbox couldn't pass through either of my Onkyo receivers (no problem with my Wii though), so the Chimeric adapter looks like a great upgrade.
I would've gotten Chimeric's hdmi box already, but I have to actually FINISH fixing my xbox first. (Although, now might be even harder to get one, haha) Chimeric's page for the box is "a small handful of orders" at a time, then they get built.
I recommend the memory card USB insert. Forget the cable, the controller is already plugged in, use that memcard slot you're never gonna use. It even comes as a power button variant if you have that specific mod installed as well.
How does the chimeric systems cable compare to the n64freak hdmi adapter? I have one of those and its pretty great.
I use the Monster components myself, they are crazy tight to connect to my tv's and always have been. I'm very interested to see a little more info on the HDMI solution like you are showing here. The cheap cables that Hyperkin and Pound sell (i know it's the same cable with diff logos) just don't meet my standards in terms of color quality and Reproduction.
That's my biggest complaint about the Monster cables.
Paul Ramos agreed, they’re super tight and almost feel like I’m going to rip the rca jack out of my tv some times, but they work great
Would you say the Chimeric hdmi adapter is superior to those you mentioned? I've been looking for a comparison but I can't find one anywhere. From what I take from this video I'm assuming the Chimeric adapter is on another level.
nice video ! thanks for the information ! :-)
Got a psyclone cable with gold plating for a Pal Xbox, unmodded. It looks jagged
and I remember it looking clear and easy to see quality textures.
On the HDTV now it looks like vaseline was smeared over and everything is a bit darker while its a quality cable.
I got one this year and am going to set it up
TekNemesis and Chimeric rock :D
Thank you , this helps , you are needed on youtube
Said nobody
Microsoft also released an official Xbox Component Cable, those are even better then the HD AV Pack you showed.
Better how? I havent noticed a difference
🤔
Thank you very much for this video.........
Bob Wich wireless controller do you recommend for the Xbox?
Awesome. I've been using composite all weekend. It is rough.
I had to comment on the sick rust in peace guitar.....very nice bud
Thanks very much! I love that guitar!
I live in Finland (PAL-country) but have two hardmodded Xboxes and two OG component dongles. Used to run XBMC and watch... um... *found footage* on them back in the day.
I actually have those Monster Cables. I haven't used them in years. I guess it's time I dust them off. I think I paid something like $15 for them when they were new. They were really expensive, but mine were a customer return. I think they were something like $80-100 new. It was shocking.
Which would you say is better? Speaking strictly cables and not the advance packs etc, are the custom Xbox 360 Component Cables for the OG Xbox better or equal to the Original Xbox Component Cables? The custom made are $30 + Ship and the OG are $85 and higher + Ship. I’m in the market but I’ll still need to buy the Component to HDMI Adapter you suggested and $50 is better than $105 but I capture and I want the best.
There is a great Xbox to SCART YPbPr Cable from RGC that I use, great results and only 1 cable but only works with the OSSC
I talk about this on the Xbox page, but felt that would be a bit confusing to add to a "beginner" video: www.retrorgb.com/xbox.html
Two revisions of the Official Xbox Component cable exist. The one shown in the video with the breakout box, and the second resembling the more traditional cables that runs from a console to a TV.
Sometimes sellers incorrectly list the component cables as composite for low BIN prices, so it's worth spending a little time looking at images to find a good deal.
Personally, the Monster cables are the best. They're well made sturdy shielded cables that have stood up well. Only downside is their death grip. It can easily break or strip a RCA plug if you're not careful.
Finally got my hands on the Kimarics converter a few months ago and it's amazing. To my eyes it looks exactly the same as the HD Video pack with HD retro vision cables and a RetroTink 2X Pro M but is WAY less complicated to get setup and quite a bit cheaper. Took a while for it to be in stock, but if you're willing to wait, I think it's the best solution.
Looks like they caught up to demand. I just ordered one :)
@@shanez1215 Can Anyone Recommend Anything For My Xbox Crystal?
Hello. Thanks for this great video. I have a question I am hoping you can help me with. When I turn on my Xbox the Home Screen is flickering really badly I am using an Xbox high definition av pack. Also does a 3 button component video selector effect the picture when gaming on an original Xbox. My thought when purchasing was to switch from my Xbox to my Xbox 360. Thanks for your time. Best video I found for my issue.
After watching, I headed over retro RGB to look for your recommendation on male to male component cables. But sadly those hd retrovision ones are sold out everywhere. Any other recommendations?
Avoid generic composite cables like the plague. The one I got picks up interference like a dry sponge and will make the screen flicker every few seconds. The only way to eliminate the flicker and most of the static has been to move the Xbox to a TV where it's the only thing plugged in.
I have the x2vga+. Pretty happy
Is there any preference for what TV to use? I’m trying to create a retro gaming room and gonna kit it out with the Xbox Original and GameCube. Was thinking of getting a Sony Bravia would this be a good choice?
excelente video y gran explicación gracias
Or if you have a more recent home theater receiver, you can connect via component and output through the hdmi of the receiver.
That Chimeric cable seems perfect for me. I have a hacked up HD AV pack that isn't great anymore and the official ones are really getting up in price on eBay. I also have that Monster cable you showed, but it's a POS. Death grip on the cinch connectors, no digital audio AND it still has ghosting. Avoid!
I've got a Pound HDMI converter that i'm currently using. it's.. ok... but i'm on the waiting list for a Chimeric cable now.
I can verify the cheapo component cables look WORSE than OEM S video (AV Pack). I own the Monster component cables. They're a MASSIVE jump over cheapos. As a Halo (CE & H2C) player every millisecond matters. Stear clear of the cheap scalers there too. Awesome video Bob.
Great video!
I have the Xbox High Definition AV Pack. Bought for $10.00 at the Berryessa Flea Market back in 2016.
This is good stuff!
I just found one so thanks for this
Hi, I have my original Xbox connented to my HDTV with the official Xbox HD pack. Not many new TVs have component inputs anymore. When I replace my TV should I look for one with component or use one of those cheap component to HDMI convertors? In this video you show an HDMI solution but it seems it's always sold out on the website. Thanks.
I love this guy
I literally just finished the Wii2HDMI mod for XBOX, it seems to work great for me! (much better then the Hyperkin HD cable I had, that thing had pretty bad interference)
Xbox the playstation we always wanted, kotor, jedi acedemt , halo....unreal championship...man this was madness!
Just ordered a chimeric one with toslink, i have the monster cables but i heard quality goes down with component to hdmi adapters, plus AVR do not accept 480p or higher through component to output through hdmi, only really really expensive ones do that
Are use RVG if I don’t have a choice so I set on an updated TV all I need to just keep the 7p on normal TV plus it’s got Abhijit in it all supports it on the TV in my old video games and consoles I have
How does the conversion compare to xbox360 backwards compatibility. I know the backward compatibility can be a bit iffy sometimes but it's the only way I can play original Xbox games through HDMI so far until I saw this video.
I would have liked a comparison between upscaled Componsent vs the Chimeric Systems adapter.
It's so close, that if I added it to the video, it would be impossible to tell the difference after TH-cam's compression. That's why I concentrated on: Good ADC vs bad ADC, as that's the only difference you'll notice.
definitely going to have to get my hands on the last option you talked about. im assuming that would work with an elgato as well seems its hdmi?
Whats the difference on the chimeric TOSLINK that you could choose from on their website?
edit2: I found out that the 480p games that support 16:9 only output the same 720x480 480p image (with squeezed pixels to be stretched to 16:9) and NOT a 854x480 image as I thought it would be. (yes it's weird, NTSC standard is technically 720x480 and the TV scales it down to 640x480, so this does benefit conversion to 16:9 compared to a native 640x480 signal). This means that if you run one of these games and set your TV to stretch/wide (as you're supposed to achieve full 16:9), you LOSE resolution density. Yes, you gain some FOV but you also lose clarity compared to 480. You're basically playing equivalent to about 450p widescreen.
Why does the xbox setting need to be set to widescreen? If the game is outputting in 480p, normal mode from the xbox settings is fine right?
edit: Oh wow I had no idea there are games that support 480p @16:9 (854x480). I just bought a used Xbox and was planning on just playing the 480p games in letterbox. Great to know this.
I build my component cable with an original Xbox360 component cable and solderd the XBOX Connector on it.
The 360 component cable is cheap and high quality.
How does the Chimeric device compare against OSSC (with component)?
I have 1 older lcd tv that looks pretty good when using component to cheap adc. But my new samsung q70 and dell s2716dg monitor both look super dark when using the same setup. The older lcd only looks good because I can adjust a "Black Level" setting. The others will not let me or do not have the option. Any idea why this might be happening? This is a major bummer..
What will give the best Picture quality the monster component cable, or the last hdmi adapter converter? Because if the monster will give the best Quality I’ll be that instead! Please let me know and reach out I’m just now getting all my old consoles together and I wanna make a perfect game room!
I ordered the chirmeric system HDMI cable
I've always found that colours on the original xbox look kind of flat. Is there some kind of setting or mod that changes the colour profile?
Hello.
I have a softmodded Pal Xbox and i'm thinking to buy the HD Component cable from eBay.
I'm gonna see any difference? My TV is HD Ready 26 inch.
So as a UK viewer, the OG xboxes don't give you resolution options, it's just two options with Video Mode and Pablo-60, so even using Pound cable all the resolutions are fixed at 480p. I know you can softmod enable the options but I don't know how.
To enable 480p/720p/1080i on pal xboxes you need a debug disc so that you can change the mothermoards region from pal to ntsc but it will just output ntsc and no longer pal
thank you
Actually, there’s at least one Xbox title that misprioritizes resolutions and will use a lower resolution even if a higher resolution is enabled. Check out the comments on ImplantGames’s HD on Xbox video.
Hey, thanks for that heads-up! 👍
*Related:*
Am looking for a source here that lists the resolutions supported by games on the original XBox with applicable footnotes. (There's such a list for the PS2... or, there _was_ on Wikipedia). Much appreciated if anyone can point me in the right direction for a comprehensive link with info that's accurate. 👍
The thing is i have a modded xbox. Like i don’t get the normal homescreen. And i have not so much info on how to use it. Should i risk and buy the chimera cable?
Another way to get TECHNICALLY Official Microsoft OEM quality component cables for the OG Xbox really cheaply, (if you have the skills) is to find some commonly available Xbox 360 component cables and some official OG Xbox composite cables. (There are TH-cam videos that show how to do this, thats how i did it, and describe it better than I can so keep that in mind) And what you do is, to put it rather crudely, chop off the connectors on both cables, and solder up the correct wires from the 360 component cables to the correct pins on the Xbox connector. Using a pin schematic its very simple if you have the skills. You can even wire up the cable for composite video while youre there if you really want to and have a 2 in 1 cable. Just dont plug in both at the same time xD. Thats the cable ive been using for about 3 years since I've done it and it looks GREAT!
Slightly off-topic: Given that the mClassic is said to work best on GameCube-era consoles, how does the Chimeric adapter + mClassic look on the original Xbox as compared to, say, OSSC scaling? (Is there an mClassic combination that would result in a signal above 1080p?)
@@RetroRGB In this case, does the mClassic offer only marginal improvements or would this be the ideal use case? And how would you say the OSSC LPF is different? Or is it that the mClassic sharpens lines?
Kekule’s HDMI Adapter + Mclassic looks great!
Someone was nice enough to send me footage without the capture error...so I scaled to to 4X in two different ways, just for the heck of it: th-cam.com/video/cOoVSUepWyw/w-d-xo.html
(other comment/video deleted, cause this video is much better)
@@RetroRGB When muted, the previous video showed off how good it looks. Gotta say, I was blown away by how clean it looks. In some ways, I like the almost sterile look of the original xbox graphics compared to the 360.
Hey, Bob. Any advice on using the MS HD Pack or Monster Component Cables with the RT5X?
If you've got the official "HD Pack", just use a set of HD Retrovisions to connect it to the RT5x: retrorgb.link/hdrcomponent
The monster cables should just connect directly, but careful, since they have a really tight grip.
As far as quality goes, either through the RT5x will look awesome :)
@@RetroRGB Thanks, Bob! Should I just output 240p at all times and up it to 1080p OVER through the 5X? Or should I output in 480p/720p/1080i when possible? If I output 480p, what resolution do you recommend I up it to through the 5X? What about games that are capable of widescreen?
Xbox doesn't do 240p. I set mine to 480p and 720p and also enable widescreen. The RT5x can handle all of that.
Hey! I have a PVM 20L5 and had a question about running 480p from my Original Xbox. you recommend using just OEM Microsoft Component cable, RGB Scart (sync over composite video or CSYNC?), or VGA cable using a VGA box from
Beharbros? Thanks in advance and I’ll confused on which sync for the RGB Scart.
Definitely good component cables, as they’ll get you all resolutions. Also, congrats on owning such an awesome monitor!
@@RetroRGB thank you so much, love your videos keep posting them. so much information
4:00 I know this is an older video but this has me wondering...will this work better on a 4k tv than a component (red, yellow, white) to hdmi adapter? I have the traditional Xbox cables and I've used the rca adapter to hdmi and it works great, but I'm one of the few that own those big green og monster cables that would work on this. Is the signal going to be the same or will one be better?
At the moment, the best way to play Xbox on a 4KTV is with component video cables through a RetroTINK5x. You can also get a MakeMHZ HDMI internal mod as well. Check out this channel for videos on all of those.
@@RetroRGB I definitely believe that to be the case, but the cost of them is usually more than the console itself. If it was $20 range I'd be all for it but for $400 or so I'll have to find one of these cheaper options to work lol. I do love your channel I always need some retro gaming advice
Does component + retrotink 5x pro provide the BEST picture quality? Or should I save my money and stick with the chimeric adapter paired with the mclassic? I was thinking of making my own pair of component if it’s better
If you have other analog consoles, definitely get the RT5x, as it'll be awesome for everything. If the only console you own with analog outputs is the original Xbox, the Chimeric and mClassic would be cheaper. Also, I only like the mClassic with 720p Xbox games...but I think it does a GREAT job with those. Depending on your TV and what games you play, you might not need an mClassic at all.
I don't have that video box, but do have 5 cables that go directly from the Xbox to the TV. These are my wifes cables, but I believe they are official. Do they give the same results as this box?
anyone know of good alternatives to hd retrovision for component cables? nothing coming up for that brand here in the uk right now.
@retrorbg, my 4k TV with component video input recently died, and the replacement only has HDMI. After all these years I am just now having to deal with my OG (Soft-modded with XBMC circa 2005 and last updated in 2007) XBox not being able to connect to the TV.
I purchased a converter, and immediately had problems. Looks great on boot, the XBMC menu has no issues. However all games, emulators, programs, even the OG XBox menu cut out constantly during play. Not while in menu (for instance Halo launches and works fine until you start a match) but as soon as gameplay starts I have problems.
I am ordering another cable, and now on the waitlist for the Chimeric cable, but does anyone know if I am looking at a problem with my cable or the XBox itself? I am using the original XBox component adapter and cable (the one with the TOS Link built-in), and a cheap powered Component HDMI converter from Amazon.
I have been waiting for a long time for the internal mod. I have 3 boxes, 2 with RAM upgrades (done myself.) I also have the official HD boxes. Still use them. If the internal mod is a side-by-side, I want the HDMI mods for all 3.
If surround audio is retained for output, right on. 🤔👍
Hey RetroRGB. So the hd that comes out of an original xbox is an analog signal and not a digital? And if it is analog, with the Xbox hd pack, does the analog hd have a noticable difference between a digital signal through the converter? Thank you for your time.
Correct, Xbox only natively outputs analog video signals. A good converter will be near-perfect, but pure digital to digital like the MakeMHz mod will always be better.
Awesome !!!!!
Would that component to hdmi adapter work for other 480p sources like the Wii or certain ps2 games? It says it supports 480i as well, but is the Retrotink better for that?
The RetroTINK is best for 240p and 480i signals, as it converts them to 480p with no lag. If you're mostly working with 480p signals like with the Wii, yes, that other adapter is a good choice.
I have one of gamester hd kits from 2000's with composite video and it looks blurry anyway, and the worst part it makes the games run slower and with more input lag. I'm stuck with pal video but as the compositio video it looks blurry
I was informed by retrogamingcables that the 'OG Xbox Original dedicated YPbPr component video SCART cable for use on the OSSC' actually passes through 720p and 1080i signals to the OSSC via SCART. Because this cable is not RGB SCART, it is able to pass through higher resolutions, I assume?
Yep works with 720P and 1080i. That cable is a scart cable modified to send the YPbPr signal instead of an RGB signal.
Correct Wade, but I didn't include it in this video, as it's really confusing. It's technically a "YPbPr SCART Cable"...something that doesn't officially exist. I listed it on the new xbox page though with more info!
@@RetroRGB Awesome. Keep up the good work!
