Wow, it's amazing what the front page will get you.  I followed Frosty's progress on this for the last ... 3 months or so ... from the time Masticism found the 720p patch for NKPatcher.  His VGA Patcher 0.7 was released a couple weeks ago.  Please see his original thread pinned in the Audio/Video forums.


Well, when no one contact's anyone regarding news, news usually doesnt get posted tongue.gif These forums are too big for us to read everything thats going on.  All someone has to do is email me at any time on software and I'll see it gets posted.

Here's a golden oppurtunity for all you flamers out there smile.gif

Exactly what is this? I'm sorry for asking, but I have noe idea what this means. I'm using a component cable with my Xbox to run HDTV. In what way is this different? (Yes I have read the readme and the original thread and I'm still clueless)

I flashed another bank on my X3 to see what this does, all i get is a pink screen via VGA.

Does this actually upscale games to 720P.

This is a patch that patches any XBOX BIOS to support hardware-level VGA output. This results in the ability to view the XBOX in native VGA on any VGA monitor. The overall point and motivation behind this is the fact that most VGA monitors can run circles around any HDTV in terms of clarity and picture.

Are you using an actual VGA monitor, or are you using a Component Cable on an HDTV? The 'pink' tint is common for people attempting to use a VGA BIOS on an HDTV/Component Input. (Most HDTVs cannot accept a VGA signal on their Component Input.)

NOTE: My VGA Patcher is not compatible with any other video cable other than a Homebrew VGA Cable. Composite, S-Video, SCART, and Component are not compatible with a BIOS patched with my VGA Patcher. This is why it is recommended that you use a Dual-BIOS setup.

Unfortunately, my patcher does not have this ability. Even if this was possible, the XBOX would scream bloody murder if you ran half of the available games at higher resolutions than they were intended for.

1st congratulation for your work, glad to see that there are still people who are interested in VGA for Xbox biggrin.gif


I try to patch a X4981 bios but it don't work.

On the boot, there is the correct yellow X logo (in yellow becaus i've take a yellow moded X4981 bios) then it load the dashboard and ... nothing (black screen). The signal is out of range. Is the patch compatible with X4981 bios?

Unfortunately I don't have a 512k chip so I can't test with X3 5035 bios. Which bios do you advise me to use?

I've a X v1.1 with homemade VGA cable with LM1881 (work great with iND-5001 VGA Bios) and XBMC as Dashboard.

thx for your help.

Just a note for people that don't want to build a VGA cable for their xbox.  It is possible to accomplish this using the HD Component cable, some RCA gender changers, and a component to VGA cable (something like this: http://www.ramelectr...nt.html#hd15rgb ).  All of these parts (other than the Xbox HD cable) should be available at your local radio shack.

Using those plus the RGB bios should result in a good image, without having to do any electronics work or building a cable.


HE'S BACK!  HEY, YOU GUYS! DVADER IS ALIVE!

And all this time I thought you died.  I went to bed crying one night saying R.I.P. DVADER.  Glad to see you back.

Nope, didn't die. I had a kid.  It takes about as much out of you though.   wink.gif
