Rgb To Vga Cable + Monster X400 + ....
« on: January 22, 2007, 12:06:00 AM »

There is a guy on Engadget that had a great idea for the xbox360, and I was wondering if it'd work for the xbox1:

From http://www.engadget....e-fo/1#comments

"I don't know if this is the same thing, but it works for me...

I went and ordered one of these cables to go from the VGA port on my projector to the 360 component cable ends :

And one of these, to mate the two cables together:

I don't have 1080p capability, but this setup works great with the 360 and the HD DVD drive, plus I still can use my original Xbox cable in it's stock form or as a VGA-ended cable."



If I got these two parts, would it display properly (and nicely) on my 22" widescreen monitor?

Before your described setup will work, a VGA BIOS would have to be flashed to your Xbox (you can also use a VGA-enabled NKpatcher softmod). Because of this, your Xbox could not remain unmodded. After this is accomplished, your setup will work fine if your monitor also supports 'sync-on-green'.

However, if your Xbox is unmodded, and you would prefer to keep it that way, you would have to purchase a device like the X2VGA+ to allow your Xbox to output a VGA signal.
