thePiratePimp Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Ok, so this eBay seller (who doesn't want to share his secrets oddly enough), says that his xbox's are the only ones available with 720p or 1080p. I know there's a way...I can't find it because I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for or more importantly how to search it. here are the links: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Modded-Original-XBOX-Highest-Quality-Build-25K-Games-1TB-Loaded-/162667846744?hash=item25dfc25c58:g:PzkAAOSw881ZtMKA http://www.ebay.com/itm/Modded-Original-XBOX-HDMI-1080p-Upscaled-Highest-Quality-Build-25K-Games-1TB/162649509954?_trkparms=aid%3D555019%26algo%3DPL.BANDIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D41376%26meid%3Dea9a9176c657443c9bdc4ce67dc63bab%26pid%3D100506%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26&_trksid=p2045573.c100506.m3226 Thanks in advance for your help!

KaosEngineer Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) The original Xbox can only do 480p, 720p and 1080i without an upscaler that will add a bit of delay between the video out of the Xbox through the scaler to the HDTV. Not sure that it will create enough to be noticeable or not. Some upscalers add more much more delay than others. I'd think N64 Freaks HDMI mod listed in forums at ogXbox.com would be a better option. Have yet to read the eBay sellers claim's.

KaosEngineer Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) The Portta YPbPr to HDMI convertor sells for $20 to $27.00 on Amazon.com and eBay. Looks like he sells the 720p system and includes the Portta component to HDMI upscaler for $35 more. Not sure he's doing digital audio as the Portta convertor takes in R/W RCA stereo not a digital output from the Xbox. With the Xbox High Definition A/V Pack or quality component cable, you have stereo RCA jacks and access to an optical digital output from the Xbox. You can't see the optical port on the side but it's next to the pair of audio jacks at the top of this image. The optical jack on this component cable is built into the big bump on the Xbox AV port jack.

I wasn't paying enough attention. It's a hardware thing and nothing he did software wise. Duh! Still learning...one day I'll get there! Thanks again!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank D'Agostino Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Bro you can buy a $3 pair of Chinaman wires that will do 1080. I have no idea why so many people are fixated on HDMI like that's the only way you can get HD. You can get HD through this video svideo... I don't know brother you might be able to find some decent component wires for cheap on eBay that will do the exact same thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Don't think that Monster 400x cable was $3.00. I see you have the 100x optical adapter too. Source: Crutchfield.com (seen in figure) no longer in stock.Duh! Edited September 24, 2017 by KaosEngineer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thePiratePimp Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I've got several sets of monster cables at this point. Have some Intecs as well, also some of the oem Xbox component adaptors. It's was the upscaler that makes the difference in this equation.Sent from Outer Space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamsin Skye Heineman Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 You can patch games to run at 16:9, 1080i, and 720p. It doesn't work with every game and requires component cables or a component to hdmi converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
