Darkwatch 480p Default.Xbe Issue

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to patch to 480p but the game keeps booting up in 480i.

I have an original copy of the game which I ripped to my OG Xbox and plays fine of the HDD.

I have a 1.4 Halo TSOP running Evox with UnleashX, HD cables and video settings at 480p and 720p.

I replaced the default.xbe with the below patch but is still booted up in 480i. (both hard drive files and burnt to a DVD)

I then tried the Hex edit as mentioned below on post #15 but it sill didn't work

I'm not sure if there is something I am missing, any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you

After connecting the component cable, did you go into the MS dashboard to enable 480p in the Video Settings?

Same problem with NTSC version.

Tried pre made xbe fix which uses hex edit from C7 46 34 20 01 00 00 to 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 (suppose this auto 480p)

Then i tried C7 46 34 20 01 00 00 to C7 46 34 40 01 00 00 (this is forced 480p)

found another patch 8B 57 28 50 8B 47 30 50 8B 47 2C 51 8B 4F 04 52  to 50 8B 47 30 50 8B 47 2C 51 8B 4F 04 90 6A 00 90

These patches work on PAL version

xbox dash have 480p enabled. Maybe softmod and virtual C has something to do with it?

What is the purpose of forcing 480p? Is that a way to upgrade from 480i? Or is it a compatibility thing?
