Wow, many thanks for all those explanations !
My question about PAL 50Hz is just because I like my consoles can read all games regions at the exact frequency… even if I never use 50Hz I’ll play to NTSC 60Hz in 480p most of the time.
My question about the exact frequency was to know if a PAL region free Xbox can run NTSC games with the exact NTSC frequency, 59,9Hz. But if I can’t have a clear answer about that, it’s possible I finally buy a NTSC Xbox to be sure.
If I do such thing, could I region free my NTSC Xbox to PAL and JAP region by the same way than a PAL one ?
Those Xbox revisions are very complicated IMO.
Well, I’ll play only with original games on « official » discs, not with CD-R/RW, and, if I understand well what you say, Hitachi DVD player has problem with original Xbox games discs…. Yoy say also Thomson are the most reliable….
I don’t really want to do a lot of softmod, to correct the 480p problem and other things, that’s why I prefer when a chip can simply region free a console, as on Gamecube. I just play my NTSC games, and it’s fine.
I suppose if I want to have a maximum « stock » console, I should buy a V1.0, NTSC Xbox, remove and replace all what it needs, and with a Thomson DVD player.
Have you heard about the best RGB picture on V1.6 ? In all case, by RGB, this means it’s only a better picture for 480i resolution, not for ED/HD resolutions by component ?
