hey guys, I did the wiring to enable HD permanently by earthing sw2,sw3 and wiring all the other 5 plugs up.

I then enabled NTSC mode but my TV which I know can support NTSC displays the picture in black and white.
Almost like it's not compatible with NTSC mode. I check the stock dash to enable HD mode but it's not there yet when the xbox boots into XBMC the TV is detecting 480i mode but I can't get to select any of the HD modes in XBMC either.

Can anyone shed any light on this? do I need like an NTSC version of the xboxdash.xbe file ?

mines originally a PAL btw but converted to NTSC with enigmahs program.

Hi, sorry for my bad English...

I'm Italian, and I don't know why I cannot switch the HD resolution on my xbox


I've done this modify:




Than I play enigmah video switcher, I select NTSC (press and I reset the console.

After this step, I start with the scart the original dashboard, but I don't find the options of the HD resolution...I've found only Letterbox, widescreen ecc...but ANY hd resolution...

CAN BE THE DASHBOARD (original) outdated?

Is xbox modded? Chipped or softmod? Is NTSC mode change confirmed sticky?

I starth with XMBC, than I play enigmah (pre-charged on the hdd)

I press the button B, and I don't know other wise to confirm the change. I've to reset the xbox.

Check the NTSC/PAL mode with a dash like unleashX or XBMC. I personally use XBMC.

All right, sorry to kind of "barge in" and "grab the topic here", but I've got some questions about doing a VGA mod for xBox.

Number 1: Do I need a VGA extension cable to do this? If so, how to I get all the wires into the plug on the end? Do I just stick them in there and hope that it works, or do I yank the end off and try to watch where all the wires go? Is it do able without a soldering iron?

Number 2: If it helps, I'm using an old school NEC MultiSync LCD 1550M (1995ish I think?) that apparently supports "Sync on Green", would I be able to get non widescreen 720p out of this considering that its maximum resolution is 1024X768?


Thanks so much! The xBox Scene "Skinnex" community forum is so helpful all the time.

The Xbox has to be switched to NTSC. The TV format is irrelevant, so long as it has a VGA (RGB) input.b

Right. No point in really having a "pal" xBox anyway.
