yo freakin nice faq ...

I was waiting for some time now to make my advanced av pack a bit more expandable ... I want to use a scart connection instead of the s-vhs one for better picture quality, but before I start modding the biatch I would like to know if I have to run any extra wires from the AVIP connector.

Also thinking of including a vga plug... might be useful ! got a lm1881n just lying around here (lucky me smile.gif.

the product I would like to out come is to addition of the av pack is : vga + scart rgb + analog digital out

help would be appriciated smile.gif

The MS Advanced AV pack already has RGB Scart smile.gif It is what I currently use for my TV set.

My local electronics store has them, if you cannot find them, use a potentiometer or as close as possible (anything 550-700k should be fine) 620k's are as common as dogs muck, they will do fine.

I can't believe people have problems finding components. Maplins, RS, Farnell and CPC are places selling EVERY resistor. I just bought 10x680k for 30p from CPC order code - REMFR4680K

I don't understand your schematics...do they describe an xbox/vga connector or do they describe the pins for every connector...because I need to make connectors for toslink/spdif...
And can I get a lm1881n from radioshack?

Hmmmm... This all makes for an interesting read, but I have another idea....

My 21" monitor has 5 x BNC connectors for video input... now what's involved in trying to get that going with an adapter?

maybe SCART -> BNC adapter?

Suggestions? comments?

You could either get a HDTV pack & buy a component to BNC cable, or wire BNC connectors straight off the AVIP (mount them in an advanced a/v pack or HDTV pack if you wish).

Q: Do I HAVE to have a HDTV / Advanced AV pack to make a VGA cable?
A: No. All you need is the AVIP connector from ANY Xbox AV cable. The main reason I would choose an Advanced A/V or HDTV pack is because it has a small box a few inches from the AVIP connector end which can be used to house new connections such as a female VGA connector easily.

As far as i know, if you want to be able to access the higher resolutions of 720p and 1080i you have to use an HD pack when modding for vga.  With any other cable, that is used for modding, only 480p is possible.

Foe Hammer, what do you mean by access too 720p and 1080i? Are you suggesting that the options don't appear in the menu or simply that, even if selected, they are not enabled. I ask because with my mod I have access to all and have played Soul Calibur 2 in 720p as far as I am aware.

Interesting......

This can actually be done without a HD pack, you just need to join pins 11-12 and 13-14 on the AVIP. You can then select 480p/720p/1080i smile.gif

L33, can I have your permission to copy and paste the body of your main post to the already pinned FAQ?
