Oh, by the way, DVADER's patch is now out-of-date, because I have been successful with my patch that shows 480p, 720p, & 1080i perfectly.

Grab a copy of it, and apply it to any BIOS you like.

NOTE: The patch is applied the same way that DVADER's was.

already did, thanks

you reakky are awesome, I mean, you don't have a modchiped or tsop flashed xbox and you made a vga bios patcher that works better than someone who has a modchiped or tsop flashed xbox.... that's skill

ok, using my patched x3 3294 bios (patched using frosty's latest patcher version) it boots up and loads with a heavy green tint on my tv

i have not finished my vga adapter yet (waiting for the lm1881n chip) but i thought that i might as well get as much of this done as possible

so this brings us to my question, can you use vga patched bios on a regular tv also and i just screwed something up somewhere? or do you have to have regular bios for tv and vga bios active for vga output?

Are you using a Component Cable (HDTV) on your TV? If you use both VGA and Component, you will need a dual BIOS setup. The VGA patch directly changes the output format of the Component lines on the XBOX. Therefore, if you use a VGA patched BIOS with a normal TV and Component Cables, the picture will not be normal.

However, Composite (Yellow/Red/White) and S-Video are both unaffected.

EDIT: Also, just to be sure it's not the new patch, give the old version a try, version v0.6.

patched with 0.6, same problem, i am using component outputs that i hardwired into the back of the case, i set the just so that it should read as a regular a/v cable, so i don't know what the problem is

and i am making sure that i patch a fresh bios each time

Hmm, well, the green problem is a classic symptom of VGA signals going over Component lines, so what you will probably have to do is use a dual BIOS setup. I'm not sure how you have your internal video wiring set up, but the problem is that the XBOX is detecting a Component Cable, and the VGA patch affects the Component signals. My recommendation is to use dual X2 5035 BIOSes, one set up for VGA, and the other one normal/unpatched.

ok, np
just making sure that i didn't do anything wrong on the bios end

i'll just do dual x3 3294 bios tho as i prefer them over x2

thanks for all of your help through this
