Yanimo Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 so I bought a cheapo component cable and outputs black and white sometimes split screen. Tried booting to NTSC outputs black screen. Tried booting PAL split screen. Tried PAL 60 black and white. any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Are you 100% sure the green/blue/red phono plugs are plugged into the correct sockets or the sockets concerned aren't dual purpose? The only way you can get B/W with Component is when just the green lead is plugged in, so it suggests either the wrong sockets are being used or the blue and red leads or sockets are not working for some reason. Does the lead you're using have an HD/AV switch because that might explain it too ie. AV = Composite, HD = Component? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you either have the leads plugged in the screen incorrectly of the Xbox is set to S video (Advanced AV) Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

RetroEmulationNation Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 is 480p enabled in your Xbox Dashboard? I had this problem, and it turned out I forgot to enable 480p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) The pic of the lead looks like it is a fairly typical type of third part Xbox Component cable: just green/blue/red + L/R Audio (white/red) phono plugs. There are obviously no Composite or S-Video options. I have a PS2 Component lead which looks very similar. Can you post a pic of the TV's phono sockets being used with and without the cables in place and precise details of the TV make and model you are using?
