i use nkpatcher simply because its so much more quicker than pbl, i enjoy turning on the xbox and seeing it just pop up with evox or whatever instead of hearing my tv make a high pitch whine when pbl garbles up the screen
However, I do still have PBL on my system, and a link to in evox, for 7th partition support and when i need a bios loaded for whatever reason.
p.s.
I have an xbox with a focus encoder
PBL 1.4.1 does not work at all with svideo (ms advanced av pack)
PBL 1.4.1 does work beautifully with standard composite cable
pbl 1.3.5i works with svideo and composite but is garbled and makes my tv hurt
now my friend has a xbox with a conexant encoder (or whatever that company is called) and 1.4.1, 1.3.5i they all work with MonsterCable svideo and MonsterCable Component (480p mode only, he has a crappy EDTV)
hope anyone can get anything from that.
