Post by: Foe-hammer on October 21, 2004, 07:38:00 PM
I have not heard any definent yay or nay as to whether halo 2 support 720p, i have heard just 480p, and am probably guessing just the latter.

what about halo 2 with a VGA bios? I heard it just starts to load then hangs at a black screen.  Halo 1 does the same thing.  Very different from the switching to green problem.    has anyone run halo 1 or 2 in vga mode?

also, what about that new vga bios for xbox 1.4 and 1.5, can it run on an xbox 1.0 or 1.1? does it do anything that the old vga bios's couldn't do other than run on 1.4 and 1.5?

Thanks,

wow, I wonder what is wrong with my setup that causes halo games to hang.

exactly what vga bios are you using?  I think I'm currently using TATX BFM.

Thanks

I have the TATX Debug VGA BIOS I edited to boot Evox instead of the stock M$ Dashboard. I have it booting from the modchip, not BFM. Halo 1 works just fine on it!

Sounds like piracy talk to me. How else would anyone know about a game hanging w/ VGA bios when it's not even out yet? I'm not saying he downloaded it or anything, but people shouldn't talk about downloaded games, regardless of whether they pirate them or not...

How would he know H2 works great with a VGA bios if the game isn't out yet?

I'm not one of those piracy police wannabes that jump to kill every instance of piracy I see, but it's looks pretty obvious to me that they were talking about the downloaded version of halo 2.

I use the TAtX Bios BFM (boot evoxdash.xbe) and I can play with halo but I have to do some tips.

The problem with Halo is the loading. So to play one stage you have to launch this stage in normal version (No VGA Bios) in order to buffer the data in HDD (X, Y or Z I think). Then you can launch Halo in this stage in VGA Mode.

For Halo 2, I don't know, wait untill 10
