Hi all I have a PAL mod chipped original Xbox with UnleashX dashboard and I'm using a component cable with NTSC enabled for 720P and they both work great together using component on my plasma TV but now I have an old CRT TV but the downside is it only has composite and scart so I would like to make a scart cable that plugs from my CRT TV that will have female RCA plugs on the other end so I can plug my component cable from the Xbox to this made scart cable, I would also use this scart cable to plug my PlayStation 2 into using a component cable. The question I have is because scart uses RGB do I simply wire the RGB red, green and blue from the scart "R,G,B input" to the corosponding red, green, blue of the component cable with the ground going to the ground pins of the RBG? And because the CRT TV I have upscales everything to 16:9 (it has no 4:3 capability) do I need to jumper pin 8 and 16 to make the switching mode to 16:9 as I run my Xbox at 720p with NTSC(U?) Will the jumper if needed at all for pin 8 to 16 need a resistor? Here's what I'm thinking for the male scart cable pinout: PIN of male scart: -to RCA 2 = Audio input R - to RCA Audio R 4 = Audio ground - to both RCA L&R 5 = Blue ground - to RCA blue ground 6 = Audio input L - to RCA audio L 7 = Blue - to RCA blue 8 = Status (16:9 linked to pin 16) 9 = Green ground - to RCA green ground 11 = Green - to RCA green 13 = Red ground - to RCA red ground 15 = Red - to RCA red 16 = RGB Status (linked to pin 8) the remaining pins are not used unless I missed something
