is the pinout good for v1.6 with xcaliber chips? or a focus on a 1.4? what are the switches for to turn the sections of plugs on and off? im a dumbass

i want to be able to wire in component video and s-video. also toslink audio and digital coaxial audio. i will only use either one at a time.

i have a hd a/v pack that i pulled apart so i have the component plugs and toslink audio. now i just need to get s-video and digital coaxial audio plugs. i could try to pull one off an old ati video card, looks like it has like seven pins. or would the shack or frys have something like that. im ok at soldering, i installed a xerc2 no prob.

I'm not dead guys...  Well, not yet anyway...  I was working on a web based tutorial in the past, but the computer I was working on it on, crashed.  I will most likely be working on a new site in the near future, stay tuned.

Alas........if only 720p worked correctly with the vga bios.

I've been waiting for that day forever, and likely will keep on waiting indefinently......should have switched my major from zoology to computer science, then maybe i'd be of some help to figure it out.

um this may sound noobey but um my cable aint like urs mines u can slide the plastic off and u see the gold
its not Offical but any way its the one with the svideo this is my view like urs is a card mine the plugs are soddered directly to the plug

I have an earphone jack, it has 3 connection points.
Where would I have to connect those? I guess its one for left, one right audio and one ground.
Is that so?

[Navillos]

a DIP switch will work for the mode switches? or what is recommended that is small

Hi, i'm quite new to this board, but first of all i have to say outstanding work Jared!

But not, i feel a bit stupid to ask following question...

The schematic on the first page, does it mean/ show soldering-points on the motherboard or on a audio-video plug?
I read the first 20 pages, but i didn't find that simple information (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Maybe i just overlooked it.

[Navillos]

those are the points on the bottom of the motherboard.

[Basti[08/15]]

thx Navillos!

Are the pin-numbers on the motherboard the same as on the plug?

I'd also just seen this guide and was about to ask the exact same question.    It really should say on the first page with the diagram exactly what points we're looking at  

Perhaps you're also wondering if we can't find all these points on the end of a standard xbox cable. Then we could fit all the connections & switches we wanted in a break-out box & avoid opening / messing with the mother board etc.....

[Navillos]

if you want a pinout of the plug google "textbook vga tutorial". its a badass tut

[odhhbvcrsr]

Where is the diagram for the scart rgb cable ?

Use the schematic for vga with scart connector . .  what pinout ?

Thank you . . . By

I've added Component Video ports to my (PAL 1.4) Xbox. After messing with a wrong pinout, i found the wonderfull guide at the start of this topic. And behold, it worked! Using Enigma Video Switcher I enabled the multitude of HDTV resolutions, and all seems well.

Except for one small bit.  Picture quality is a bit wavy. There is a disturbance coming through and it ain't pretty. The cable is fine, i checked that using my DVD player.

There are two things i can think of that cause my troubles:

1) Years ago I removed the metallic inner cover because it was in my way. Unfortunately I put it in the bin a long time ago.

2) The (looks like a flatcable only a bit thicker) cable is not good enough, or perhaps I should use more ground wires (i'm using only one now) between the lines.

Anyone got a thought?

both are problems... i think number 2 is your biggest problem..happened when i did the same on a ps2 with one ground... use all the proper ground points listed on this tutorial to fix that
