Any suggestions?

Yes

Are you running the video output in PAL, if not use enigmah and run it in PAL and see if that fixes it.

[eustachy1973 17]

Enigma does not help, xblast os also can not do anything. This console just does not like pal games. I do not know what I can do ...

Have you had a look at the  video setting via MS Dash?

I have a quad tsop, 4x256 kb.
Ind-nios, Ind-bios cpu mod, xblast, bios vga.
Try to flash the original bios.

Nothing helped, even when I changed everything on pal mode...

The video settings in UnleashX only work for UnleashX.  They do not change the settings used by the console when running a game. 

Those settings in the MS dashboard are saved to the configuration EEPROM and do control the mode a game will play in PAL or NTSC.

 

[KaosEngineer 648]

Hmm, not that it should matter as UnleashX's settings are to only be for UnleashX

Disable the Enable 480p, 720p and 1080i options.  I'm not sure they can be changed when the top line: Video Standard is set to PAL.

You might try EnigmaH again, set the Video Standard to NTSC, run the MS dashboard and disable the high resolution modes (you will have to have a high-definition cable connected to see these options to disable them in the video settings), run EnigmaH again to change the video standard back to PAL then try playing a PAL game.

It could be a bug in the XDK code that's trying to run a PAL game in high-definition that does not support it.  The 480p, 720p, 1080i flags would never be enabled on a standard PAL console as they were not available to use with it.

Have you tried setting PAL-60 to No

The Pal format is 50 hz and at the momnet you have 60hz\

Unfortunately, the picture is frozen ..

 

 

[SS_Dave 392]

Try setting 480P to ON

[eustachy1973 17]

PAL - frozen. NTSC - black screen

[SS_Dave 392]

What BIOS are you using?

 

[eustachy1973 17]

Ind-bios

[eustachy1973 17]

I've tried all the standard bios.

Whats the name of some of the games?

[eustachy1973 17]

@SS_Dave
I have several xbox consoles. I'm an electronics technician and I'm making modifications. The same hard disk with games, works on all my consoles without any problem.
This is the only console that has problems with PAL games.

Hi, I have the same problem...i've tried with different resolution and settings, I can say that I've tried with a diffrent start in option menù information. Try to push the white toggle, in the pop-up choose start like...and after choose PAL. Some games worked for me...

FTP the same as you would on a PC.  I believe OSX has a command line FTP client you can use from a shell prompt and simple GUI version ??? - a little known feature of OS X.  Plain old FTP connections to the Xbox.  It doesn't support secure logins with SFTP or FTPS.

There are free GUI-based clients for OSX too.  FileZilla is one available for the Mac running OS X:
