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

Well, guess what, it worked! Picture seems much more stable now. Not perfect, but stable and clean from my seat and that's what matters!

if i were to desolder the a/v plug what size and type of wire would be best. i have all plugs from a hd a/v pack and i want to hardwire composite and component and vga in so i think it would be best to use the whole hole instead of a post. any suggestions?

I think I'm finally going to do this mod, but I have a question:

Can you output VGA and S-Video at the same time?  If not, what about VGA and Component? anything at all?  I know VGA and Component use the same grounds, 2 and 3, but I thought maybe the fact that you have to use modded bios for VGA might disable your ability to output component without going to different bios.

[circusmonki]

no i dont think u can output 2 different modes at the same time. This is because all the switches are in different positions for each mode.

BTW great mod jared i just got my LM1881N ready to test it out

this isn't true because they're in the same spot for VGA and Component, 2 and 3, despite the fact that many guides say its actually 1 and 3....The only reason I think it MIGHT not be able to output both at once is because you have to use special bios for VGA, and I thought this might cancel out the ability for component.  Does anybody know for sure?  Pimpmaul69 perhaps??

Ok soz for the wrong info.

So your acually saying for the VGA mode, that instead of switch 1 (which shorts out pins 9 and 10) you should instead have switch 2 (pins 11 and 12).

Just clarifying: So instead of the guide saying the switch settings for VGA are 1 + 3 it should be 2 + 3.

Can anybody please confirm that i have this right please.

If you look about half way down on page 41 i think of htis tutorial, pimpmaul69 states that this is the case, and he seems to know what he's talking about better than anybody else around here.

what do you mean? you have to build your own VGA cable and use special VGA bios, or just use standard bios and buy something like the X2VGA, which does convert from component to VGA

[Navillos]

well what i mean is theres a cable that goes from vga to component, i was asking would that work if i used a hd av pack with it and the vga bios. because the one you make has the same wiring as a hd av pack, it can be used for the vga

thanks for this tut jaradc01 been wanting to play my xbox on my pc monitor.

dont know if this has been answerd but i got a few questions about the vga cable
1) does the lm1881n need programing or is it plug and play? **answered the chip is called Video Sync Separator**
2)what 0.1uf cap should i use? voltage etc etc
3)the bios i need, what do i do with it does it go in the xbox or flashed on the chip?
 i presume its avalible form the same place as all the rest of the xbox goodies

i have a v1.6 with slayers installer.

thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!!!

Hope these questions haven't been raised before in this thread but scanned through it as best as a could.
I have a 1.2 where i added coax out following this: http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/digital-output.php
I now also bought a 1.6 as spare and want to add a coaxial out as well. What i find strange is that the pins described in this thread are different from http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/digital-output.php?
Few questions:

If i use pins described in this thread, what pin needs ground to allow coax out both when standard AV is used and when a purchased HDTV-cable is used? I found this a bit unclear in the diagram.

Does the coaxial - need shielding from metalshield?

*Edit*
I do see the switches so i would just want to clarify that i don't want a switch between different modes.

vga bioses are not compatible with 1.6 xboxes, sorry.

Do I need vga bios for component output?

Thanks

You do NOT need a vga bios for component video output.
