  1. Many PAL game versions works in 480p. It's a good way to cover both NTSC, and PAL when using RGB SCART or composite. And PAL versions games on some instances have advantage over NTSC versions, for example fatal frame. NTSC versions uses different more adult like models, while PAL versions is true to japanese version.
  2. high scan 1080i CRTS upscale image to 1080i for all inputs. These TVs are can of worms.
  3. Yes, i'm refering games that require no patching. Since i discovered why i get dirty disk error on desert storm 2, or fifa07 hangs. Now i only dump games from retail disks or full DL dvd iso dumps.
  4. EDTV upscales 240p, 480i to 480p. 480p input signal has no digital conversions. Of course analog 480i tv will be fastest, since its analog. European 100Hz are the reason maybe for this, it double input lag, because it display same image two times to achieve 100Hz. So 480p is the way to go.
  5. games that give dirty disk, because of bad dump floating on the internet (fifa07, desert storm 2). When i extract games file from archival 8GB disk, i get no errors. Many games can be patched by brute force. Later games, file paths are no readable in HEX editor, only handful of them. Movies not playing, is because PAL and NTSC versions have specific file names for each region, can be fixed, by injecting missing region files.
  6. EDTV CRTS does support 480p, not sure if all modesl, most of the time its written on component imput "480i/480p".
  7. plebs who use interlaced video. Component i was refering 480p. unlike wii for some reason, xbox in 480p does not use flicker filter.
  8. get component cables flicker filter can be turned off, but with modded console.
  9. RGB scart on xbox is hilariously bad. Signal is not RAW (4:2:2), but processed garbage. Insult to injury is that flicker filter. Component, the only proper way to play xbox.
  10. "Caesium Image Compressor", awesome tool for compressing photos.
  11. Only benefit for hardmod is bios that supports more than 2TB and no requirement for HDD key. hardmoding can go FUBAR pretty easy, since you need to solder pin header, you can accidentally plug modchip the wrong way. Considering extra costs for one time setup, modchip is meh. Modchip is for tinkering enthusiast. Personally i use softmod and I happy the way it is. Rockys5 softmod is wrongly setup, some features like virtual eeprom don't work, so SID 5.12 is the way.
  12. 2TB HDD, CMR not SMR. CMR are more reliable and faster. IDE to sata adapter 80pin ide cable, if you use cheap ide to sata adapter. thats what you need. Better buy more expensive ide to sata adapter, so you could use stock IDE cable, because routing 80pin cable is tricky and buying separate 80pin cable likely equalize price difference. Link to more expensive adapter: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Drive-Optical-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00EOJNGC2 Link to 2TB CMR HDD: https://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Purple-WD22PURZ-Drive You have everything for softmod?
  13. System fan cools whole system, in process cooling all components, air goes from all entry vents (sides, front bottom) and exits via system fan in the back. By installing custom fans, you localize cooling for two components only. GPU fan was later replace with bigger thermal mass heatsink, so you can mod GPU only. By doing crazy mods, you cancel original cooling design.
  14. stock cooling is OK, no need to change. I recommend not to mess with cooling system, since GPU use thermal adhesive and CPU some sort of rubbery material also. for ghost case, use thin oil for screws, regular grease works also, to avoid cracking plastic.
  15. its maximum current allowed to the primary winding i don't know how much xbox eats power. Internet sources ranges from 70 to 100 (W.W.) So not to overheat transformer, 200W would be a sweet spot.
  16. There is a "homebrew" outrun arcade game, but its ripped from shenmue 2 files, ugly looking ferrari-like car, and audio tracks are in .WAV format. Found that 2005 outrunX exist, but cant find to download, question is this a proper port, or just the same version from shenmue 2? Cannonball source port for arcade version does exist, but not yet compiled for xbox. I guess source port needs to be rewritten for xbox compiler to work, watched MVG video about compiling xbox games, SAD. There are loads of source ports that would be happy to run on xbox. Some of them actually reached xbox, like openlara.
  17. if i remember correctly, from my experience. filezilla does shorten file names automatically to support file system. So try it.
  18. Pal versions is likely to work in 480p. Title id should be the same, and save games should work regardless.
  19. Try to play from burned dvd. It looks like i fails to load game files. Stock hdd?
  20. Will not work. But for some game you need pressure sensitive buttons, like mgs2, and x360 doesnt have them.
  21. Try contacting this server: https://myrient.erista.me/ They already have archived dvd isos, but CCI files use way less space, that would optimise bandwidth usage.
  22. Soldering on those capacitor in the first picture is perfect. Why you slacked on the cables in the last picture, use flux and pretin wire ends before soldering, hope you did better after you redone them . Great job anyways.
