What's Visio   ?

If you made this sophisticated of a diagram in M$ Paint, and you don't know what Visio is, then I think it's safe to assume that you have no need for Visio at all.  For the record, "Visio 2003 is a diagramming program that can help you create business and technical diagrams that document and organize complex ideas, processes, and systems. Diagrams created in Visio 2003 enable you to visualize and communicate information clearly, concisely, and effectively in ways that text and numbers cannot. Visio 2003 also automates data visualization by synchronizing directly with data sources to provide up-to-date diagrams, and it can be customized to meet the needs of your organization."  Blah blah blah, it allows you to create fancy diagrams. =)

Ahh... hmm... I may still check it out.  Thanks .

I think it's pretty cool for making diagrams quickly.  In my opinion, it's the best product M$ has ever bought. =)

[JaredC01]

Bump .

i dont know if it is illegal (if it is i am sorry)to ask but where can we get the chip LM1881N i have found a place but it would cost me like 100 buck to get it 12 buck for the chip and the rest for the shipping

try DigiKey...that's where I got my small stash...

I'm working on an alternative method of obtaining the sync signals by using the internal sync signals used between the encoder chip and GPU using only a 74HC14 chip (found some theory behind this from Oliver Schwartz on Xbox-Linux website). By the looks of it, this may clear up a few probs left by even using LM1881 sync separators (mostly the green tinting). As I don't have a working Xbox mobo ATM, I can't verify my work as of yet...plus I'm not 100% sure it'll work the same on mobos with the Focus chip as it (hopefully) will on mobos with the Conexant chip.

Hey EvilWays, good to hear you are still winning with the 'stripper-less' sync extraction project. Nice.

Respect due.

I say that I would do this in my old computer case xbox,and I am doing it write now.
just want to know, i am using some IDE cable to do the conection for the vga, will i lost quality or is it fine. i will also use a old printer extention cable,( I will use the male and female plug stik together so that i can disconect them , if i want to remove the motherboard again.) so my big question , will i lose a lots on quality or will it be juste fine. i will use the Component cable most of the time on a tv that is not hdtv.

also , the one who have done this , are you removing the conecter of the mobo to pass the wire throu it or you just solder them on the pin under the mobo. seem a litle bit hard , i try it on the LAN exit and i finaly romove the entire exit with my blow torch (yes i know, i was carefull ) and i past the wire throu the mobo,
the problem is that there is a lots more small hardware stuff neer the exit conector so i dont want to burn one ,  what whould be a good way .
just asking maybe there is a way i havent think of.

any help or suggestion apreciated.

thank you


**EDIT**   I finaly remove the hole thing and sollder everything, just need to reinstall and plug ,  hope i havent burn anything.

[illypso]

I finaly fishish everything, everything is in place and work fine   . ( I was sure it wasn't gona work lol)  just want to know something ,
I was tinking about puting wireless headphone build in. I got a little infra red module that is made for that , he is mest up, but it still work( i remove the exit on the back and the case is broken)
I would directly solder the sound wire to it , drill some hole on the front of my old pc case xbox (the second floppy drive opening)for the infrared LED to be able to send the sound,
1.whould it work.
2 If the sound is not loud enought is there a way to boost it a little
3 This little module is working on 9Volt,  this cause a litle problem, could i use the 12v exit of the xbox with a resitor,


I found the best friend for doing mod:  yellow ABS cement  .
the wire wont move at all


And again thank you very mutch for having made something like that, it is so easy to fallow.  (just fallow the line, lol)

you have realy just use M$ paint for this.


**EDIT**  I forgot, thank you for the website where to get the LM1881N. but I realy need to find a place where I can get it in COD in canada. I'm searching but if you know a place, It whould be nice    It's the only thing that is not plug and my computer screen doesn't suport sync on green.

The pinout can be found here: http://www.gamesx.co...inouts/xbox.htm

Note that the pin numbering scheme differs from that which is used by JaredC01.  Refer to my post on page 2 of this thread for pin numbering mappings between this diagram and JaredC01's diagram.

No.... I dont get it.... My S-video works only with AV cable connected. (and it is perfect picture) Without it, my TV picture is a mess. I connected 9-10 and 11-12 pins. Do I miss something?? I'w been trying to fix this some time . PS: Is this Ultimate A/V pack in tutorials? I didnt find it there, and this should be there.

All you needed to do was connect Pin 9 to Pin 10, and Pin 11 to Pin 12.  That should have given you the Advanced A/V Pack Mode.

From what you said, and what it sounds like, you only have Pins 11 and 12 connected correctly.  What's probably happening, is when you insert the A/V Cable, it's grounding pins 9 and 10, and you already have pins 11 and 12 grounded, which would make it work correctly, and without it inserted, you're only grounding pins 11 and 12.  With only pins 11 and 12 grounded, you're probably getting a PAL signal going into your TV.  Recheck pins 9 and 10.

I submitted it as a tutorial a while back... still waiting to see if they post it .

. Fortunately that cable is behind Xbox . Maybe my other Xbox is not bewitched .
