HelouHill Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hi! So what´s the best way to get HDMI to OG Xbox? Make Mhz HDMI is not option at the moment. I read about the Panorama cable but there have been lots of problems. What cables you have used? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Chimeric Systems' HDMI Video adapter; however, they are sold out and have a large waiting list. The sooner you get on it the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 If you soldering skills are OK then think about the N64 freaks internal HDMI kit https://www.ogxbox.com/forums/index.php?/forum/30-n64-freaks-products/ It also uses the Digital audio signal (5.1 sound )to inject to the HDMI signal.

RetroEmulationNation Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Chimeric Systems' HDMI adapter is hands down the best option for anyone (like me) who are afraid of or lack confidence with soldering. Picture quality is perfect and the next best thing to an internal HDMI mod, and AFAIK is the only adapter that has Dolby Digital 5.1 output.

vekter303 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I have tried the Hyperkin and for some unknown reason - convincing YT clip I think - the Bitfunx POS recently. Both useless in my experience. My current problem is getting a hold of any of the best options. I would be looking at MakeMHZ for the direct digital, although the soldering will require some practice or Chimeric when UK shipping/waiting list straighten out. I would also look at the N64Freak option, my problem is that I cannot get any contact with any of these guys whether it's forums, FB or Email... I don't mind waiting. I'm just curious, are these kits/cables still available? Anyone know about MakeMHZ or N64Freak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 N64 freak is a member here and last I seen he still had some left have you tried sending hm a PM as for the MakeMHZ kit I think he is probably still filling back orders. Have you looked at the wii2hdmi internal conversion? Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

vekter303 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Thanks for that. I hadn't seen the internal option on the wii2hdmi, I will have a look. I had posted with N64Freak and may follow up with a PM... I am most keen on the digital to digital option with 5.1. I can't see ever needing to revert to composite/component with my new AV setup and that looks like the best solution. Just curious at the lack of responses!

SS_Dave Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 If you what the 5.1 digital audio you can add a Coax or Toslink output to the rear of the Xbox My main Xbox runs component video and coax audio to my receiver.

vekter303 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Cool. Looks like 5.1 needs to be though HDMI for me... A new TV means that the majority of I/O are HDMI. There is one optical connection, but that will be for the TV to soundbar. Thankfully there will be enough HDMI for each of the 4 generations of XBox with a dedicated HDMI 2.1 and eARC for the new arrival...just not giving up on the OG I appreciate the responses Dave!

SS_Dave Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 If you want the 5.1 sound then the N64 Freak or wait for the Chimeric unit as both sample the Digital audio. The Wii2HDMI uses the analog audio and the MakeMHZ unit is digital audio and video but is having some small problems with some boards having the image on the screen shifted to the right and needing a hacked EvoxM8 bios, that's not a big problem unless you plan on a ram upgrade as the EvoxM8 only uses 64meg of ram.
