Drew, I'll send you a PM with my email address. I can host the pics on my own webspace if you want.  (For myself, I can't view photobucket images most of the time because work blocks most image hosting sites).

no forget that cracked cable thing drew! i think ur x2vga is fine.if u really want to see ur x2vga is outputting true hi definition ,boot a dashboard like unleashx or avalaunch and it will show the current res ur xbox is running at

[Drew111]

I have some....strange news.  I was changing some video settings in the avalaunch dashboard and then attempted to load Halo.  Halo did not start after a couple of minutes so I turned off my xbox and then back on.

To my surprise my xbox blinks ONLY red and I can't get video through my monitor or with my tv hookup anymore.  Should I reflash my xecuter 2.3b?  I can't seem to find any error codes that correspond to a red flashing light only.

Anyone know what up?

Thanks

Drew

its not ur bios .i think ur eeprom is couruppted,not sure how to replace it.post a new topic regarding ur problem in the appropriate section

[ORGANIC_PEPSI]

i heard somewhere u can replace ur default eeprom while loading avalaunch if u hold a certain button combination.

[ORGANIC_PEPSI]

if ur running under 480p that resolution is right,if ur using ava i suggest u turn off eeprom write back option.

Give me a break, was busy with a friend's wedding all day Friday and Saturday.  

Drew only sent me one pic, and it's very small.

Alright, here's Chronicles of Riddick.  This picture is taken from inside a doorway looking into a jailyard. That is why it is narrow.  Anyways, this quality is pretty terrible and the game isn't even really playable in my opinon.

[ORGANIC_PEPSI]

pretty much the same drew

Okay, here's a picture of James Bond 007. I realize it's pretty dark but I just thought I'd post it for comparison reasons. 007 looks great to me on the x2vga+.

Here's Halo. The first picture shows the jaginess around the edge of the platform as well as the pistol. I realize that this may be caused from the rescaling on my monitor. However, I have several different monitors and all give me this same result.

Here's another picture of Halo. This one shows the jaginess around the white triangle on the ground. I wish I had a good picture of an 'action' shot but I think these shots would be easy to compare with someone else since they are easy to get pictures of.

[catgut]

Drew, your halo screenshots look the same as what I see with mine.

It's all subjective.  To me, the increased jaggies I get with Halo don't bother me at all, and pale in comparison to the enhanced edge definition (great for sniping!) and detail I get.  

Look at the detail on the floor pattern on your first halo shot!

Play the level inside the covenant ship.  Notice all the extra detail you can see in the wall patterns and the controls?  The extra details looks phenomenal.  I don't even notice the decreased anti-aliasing any more.

But I guess if you're jaggie-allergic, yeah, it will bother you.

I found my camera tripod this weekend, so as soon as I can get a few hours I'll do a grand screenshot comparison: composite vs. svideo vs. 480p vs. higher resolutions.

[ShinigunZ]

a CRT monitor got a .24 or .26mm DOT PITCH vs a .52mm of the HDTV big screen so it will enhanced the jaggies more since it's more precise
stay 3-4 feet away and its all good
