Hari125 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hi! I have a softmodded xbox (PAL) and i am having a problem while playing some games or running some apps. Here is what i am talking about: There is weird black line that shouldn't be there. I'm not having the same problem with dashes (UnleashX, XBMC, MS Dash), games like Doom 3, Call of Duty 3, SSX 3 or some apps (example: having problem with dvd2xbox v0.7.8, but not with version 0.7.4). As shown in the picture, I think the red section should be over the green one (on the top). Maybe there is something wrong with my tv (toshiba model: 32XV500P). I also tried different settings, but nothing changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Try changing the Xbox to NTSC and set 480 and 720 on Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m using cheap A/V pack (so I can’t set the resolution). Soon I’m going to modify it with Xbox 360 video cable like that: Also can’t I try running the game in NTSC instead. I have done it to the Xbox (not the games) before and the picture turned white-black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 The NTSC/Pal setting is in the stored in EEprom you can use Xblast to change it And the 480p,720p, 1080 is also there but it is not advisable to use it are a set in the MS dash also you can set with Xblast Setting the Pal/NTSC is only changing the video out put not the game region.

Is that Xblast? https://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8208 if it’s not, can I have a link?

It's not going to somehow damage my eeprom (i have backup) or TSOP without my permision (i don't want to), right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can use this Enigmah video switcher https://1fichier.com/?051yvunz1nrb92md0zp0 Extract and FTP to you Xbox then with file explorer navigate to it on the Xbox and run the default.xbe It will show you if you are using Pal or NTSC and then you can change it if need be. After you have rebooted the Xbox open the MS dash and select wide screen and enable 480, 720. Both method's change the EEprom contents so you should make a new backup on your PC, Because if you have a backup you will never need it but the day you don't have a backup the system will crash and you will wish you had a backup, it's just the way it seems to work.

Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. I tried both the methods. The picture turned black-white and the black line shows. I think the games with the black line problem are actually NTCS games that are forced to PAL (then the line is still there, but at least i have colors). I tried playing a bit with the resolution settings in Xblast while the xbox is set back to PAL, but nothing changed (it's interesting why only 720p was enabled). I'm using cheap A/V pack. As i know it can output max 480p, so it souldn't be that different. I will try downloading another Halo 2, but PAL (i didn't know that it was NTCS).

SS_Dave Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 While the Xbox is set to NTSC check you have the video leads connected correctly as it look like one is not in the right spot.
