*DOUBLE POST*

Okay, this SHOULD fix the green tint issue. Hopefully.

Version 4 of the Autopatcher, once again, run this against a 'clean' BIOS image.

NOTE: Still untested, as I am not in a position to flash my TSOP at the moment.

Tried it on my conexant chip and no go, sorry.

480p = Green

720p = Purple, green, and very dark.

Keep up the good work....i can almost taste what i've been waiting for for over 3yrs.

Tested on

I wanted to add that i tried it on an x3 chip, with the x3 bios.

Okay, so unfortunately it would seem that it's not as easy as just editting the encoder's registers. Let me do a little more research on DVADER's method and i'll see if I can find a fix.

EDIT: I'm guessing that there is some kind of 'enabler' code that needs to be implemented.

I'm sorry I can't test the patch myself currently, but I do really appreciate your work. Thanks in advance!!

UPDATE!

I have found the 'Enabler Code' that is present in DVADER's patch, and I have included it in my own. This is a 'back to the drawing board' release, meaning that I went back and double checked all my logic/work and made sure this would be the correct way to do it. Still no guarantees, but as long as people are willing to test, I will be willing to keep working on this fix.

But I think this should be the correct patch. (/me crosses fingers)

Version 0.5 of the Autopatcher. Please report your results.

Version 0.5 of the Autopatcher

My Test Result:

480p= 100% working

720p= 100% working

1080i= 100% working

Thank you very much for working on this patch. All the modchip people should be happy now.

Right now I am playing soul calibur 2 @ 720p without purple tint problem. The graphic is very sharp.

So Connexant is working since ChickenBOX180 has a v1.0 box, that sounds wondeful.

May I add a question: is "force progressive" possible as well if that is not too perky to ask?

LOL, it's not too perky to ask.

I am looking into this possibility at the moment, and I will see what I can do. Although, i'm not sure if it can be done. I will do some research into the NKPatcher v10-vga10 source code and see how it modifies the kernel, and see if Force480p can be applied to my patch.

Until then, everyone enjoy the patch!

NOTE: I'm still waiting for confirmation on whether or not the Focus encoder works, but i'm sure it will work fine.

I still get green tint after I press (L trigger + R Trigger + select + start) to get back to xbmc dashboard. This only happen when I play game at 720p (soul calibur 2) or 1080i (znes emulator). I don't know if this small bug can be fix or not but I am 100% happy with this patch.

FrostyTheSnowman · « **Reply #28 on:** October 11, 2006, 02:36:00 PM »

So, is it a quick green screen, and then the XBMC screen itself is normal?

Or is XBMC itself green after you reset?

xbmc dashboard stay green until I reboot the xbox or select a diferent game to play then it's back to normal.
The green tint doesn't happen when I play game that support 480p only.
