Title: Xlink Connects But I Cant See Any Games In Halo
Post by: fekki on January 14, 2004, 05:38:00 AM
Xlink connects just fine and i can see remote and local xboxes, but when i enter a room icant see any games in Halo system link games. I have forwarded the ports. I have a Netgear MR814 v2 router with cables to my xbox and my pc running xlink. I have version 2.2.4 of xlink and WinPcap 3.01 alpha installed. I have tried both safe mode and not safe mode. Still nothing. Here is my Xtest data

You've got nothing wrong with your XTest.

You do know about Halo's massive incompatibility right?

They are video systems that different countries use.

PAL (Phase Alternating Line): the color video and broadcasting standard used mainly in western Europe and South America. PAL screen resolution is 625 lines and its refresh rate is 50 Hz.

NTSC (National Television Standards Committee): the color video and broadcasting standard used mainly in North America and Japan. NTSC screen resolution is 525 lines and its refresh rate is 60 Hz.

SECAM (Séquential Couleur avec Memoire): the video and broadcasting standard used in France, eastern Europe, Russia, and most of Asia and Africa. SECAM has the same screen resolution of 625 lines and 50-Hz refresh rate as PAL.

Games come in NTSC and PAL. If you look at your Halo's DVD cover, look on the front at the top right corner, just under the green X logo. It'll say NTSC or PAL in a little white box. That's the version of Halo you have.
