Pepin Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Hello everyone! I've recently softmodded my PAL Xbox using Rocky5's softmodding tool and I've set it up on my Samsung TV via HDMI using the Bitfunx adapter (I've enabled NTSC video mode and 480p and 720p resolutions). I know it's a crappy adapter but I'm 1600+ on the Chimeric Systems waiting list, so for the price I thought it was okay. And to be fair once my eyes got accustomed to the dark picture of the Bitfunx I thought I could get used to it... That is when it works. The problem is the purple/green hue sometimes changes randomly whenever I boot the system, launch a different dashboard (I'm using xbmc4gamers and emustation and unleash for FTP) or return to the dashboard after exiting a game. The hue can range from very dark purple, to lighter purple or light green, specially noticeable on black and gray things in the dashboard (I haven't noticed that problem when running games yet, but I should probably test it further) I've tried with different HDMI cables, cheap and a bit more expensive, new and used and they all give me the same problem. I'm not entirely sure that the problem is the adapter, because sometimes what triggers the problem is just restarting the dashboard. It could also be the system itself, but I couldn't find anyone who's had the same experience on the Internet. I'm wondering if someone has had a similar experience, because if I find out the adapter is not the problem I will not upgrade to the Chimeric Systems to still have the same annoying problem, obviously.

Pepin Posted December 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 By the way I had been using the original composite RCA cable while waiting for the Bitfunx adapter to arrive, and aside from the shitty picture and being notably brighter than the Bitfunx, it didn't give my any purple or green hues.

SS_Dave Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 That adaptor is just as bad as the Pound HDMI Get one of these adaptors and cancel the Chimeric systems one. https://electron-shepherd.com/xbox2hdmi/ They are both plug and play and both use the digital audio to give Dolby Digital 5.1 sound over the HDMI lead. 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...
