Hi folks,

I have a PAL Xbox which is about to be converted to NTSC; I also have a component video cable and an X2VGA2 on the way so I can play games on my VGA monitor.  Now, the conversion to NTSC to enable HDTV is a fairly easy mod of course, but I was hoping to use the "Enigmah Video Mode Switch Disc".

I have a 1.6a Xbox flashed using a DuoX3 modchip (blegh), and running EvoX M8 1.6 BIOS.  I also use EvolutionX (which I boot from DVD) on occasion.

I acquired the .ISO of the disk via the usual methods.  However, nothing I can do will make this disk boot.  It is accepted as a valid disk by the Xbox, which then trys to load the disk and then pauses for a few seconds before going back to the MS Dashboard and telling me the disc is not valid.  Next, I tried extracting the files from the ISO and installing them in the E:\Apps directory on the Xbox hard disk.  It appears as a valid application to execute, but when I launch it I get the EvolutionX logo and the Xbox sits there and does nothing.  Ergo, I think my burns are fine but there is something odd about the Enigmah files.

I have also installed ConfigMagic, and it works fine, but you know how it is - I'm stubborn and want to make the darn Enigmah app work.

Do I have to run some special BIOS in order to run the Enigmah video mode switch disc - or are there other arcane rituals I have to complete to get it working as well?

Thanks,

Kaldek

Never mind.  I used ConfigMagic instead - which worked fine - and gave up on the Engimah disk.  My X2VGA2 arrived as well, and now I have crystal clear gaming in 480p and 720p, although my monitor doesn't like 720p much - it won't fill the screen completely and the adjustments won't reach to the edge either.  Not that it matters, I only have one 720p game anyway (Soul Calibur II).

Hello!
How did you do it with configmagic??? I'm at the same possition you were with the Enigmah disk.... I have a pile of wasted CD/DVD's and not one will boot in the Xbox! I've tried every ISO burner from Nero to UltraISO still no joy!

I've loaded configMagic but when I select on the fly eeprom edit and go down to the video settings I get "PAL,region 4" and a text editor?? what am I supposed to change it to? I'm hopefully getting a nice Plasma or LCD pannel very soon and would like to be able to use its HD caperbility!

Can you FTP to your xbox.

If so unzip the enigmah iso and FTP to your E apps folder and put it in their.

Then select programs and you will see it listed in there then just select and presto you can change your settings
