I've been using Junkmonkey's vga bios for a while now and it works great!
I have a few questions about VGA in general.
I have a 1.0 xbox, made the cable myself everything works fine, but how do I know that it's operating in 480p.
the M$ dash doesn't give me any HD options, just (Normal, WS, Letterbox)
I'd assume HD 480p and the such should be there to select...
Which leads me to the next question, if I can't verify, how do I not know that 480I is being outputted?
A few problems with the vga bios's from the beginning were that a few games went green after loading, I guess they ignore the bios and do their own thing.
These games include Splinter cell and top spin, not sure if there are any more ?
This can't be fixed by editing their respective .xbe i take it, as that only worked to force games that weren't 480p to it.
I know using a XBMC for the dash instead of Avalaunch results in halo (1/2) staying non-green, and a few other games, which is great. So is there anyway a dash could prevent the other games from going to green, or not likely?
Has anyone actually preformed the H/V sync right off the Xbox mb/ connexant chip sucessfullly and if so would that prevent the jumping to green bug in the few games?
What does the Guex vga bios bring to the table, same faults as the orignal pixel8 bios? or has he rewritten his from scratch and has some advantages?
Do any of the bios allows linux to be booted via .xbe up in some sort of progression / hd output and not fail outright, I've been uder the impression the kernel just won't handle it and bombs ..
When I unhook my vga cable and put back in my s-video cable the bios doesn't revert to non vga, it remains green on the screen, so does it only revert back if you have the regular Composite/RCA cable in? (due to avip pin on the s-video tricking the bios to remain in vga is my guess)
if anyone could answer any of my questions it'd be appreciated,
Thanks!
