Title: Progressive Scan (480p) Hex Editing Tutorials
Post by: Foe-hammer on January 08, 2004, 10:34:00 PM
These hex edits will display the original ms dashboard/dvd remote playback, and dvdx-2 dongle free dvd in progressive scan, 480p:

For the original ms dashboard, open xboxdash.xbe in a hex editor:

Search for: C7 46 28 20 00 00 00
Replace with: C7 46 28 40 00 00 00 (Progressive only)
or
Replace with: C7 46 28 00 00 00 00 (Auto-selection)

For dvdx-2, open its default.xbe:

Search for: 83 C8 02 C1 E0 04
Replace with: 83 C8 02 C1 E0 05 (Progressive only)
or
Search for: E0 10 0B F0 51 8B CF
Replace with: E0 10 0B F0 51 EB 71 (Auto-select)
Also, search for: 5E C2 18 00 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
Replace with: 5E C2 18 00 80 61 28 9F 8B CF E9 84 FF FF FF (Auto-select)

* You need to search for and replace both hex strings to make dvdx-2 work in auto-select.



Things to take into consideration:

When typing in the hex values to search for, try typing in the values without the spaces if you are having trouble finding the strings. For example: for the ms dashboard, search for C7462820000000.

Auto-select supports both 480i and 480p.  If your TV supports progressive scan, it will display it in 480p.  If it does not, it will display it in 480i.

The ms dashboard, and DVDx-2 hex edits are independent of one another; you can just hex edit the ms dash, or just the DVDx-2, or hex edit both of them.

The dvdx-2 hex values are only for dvdx-2, not dvdx-1. Dvdx-1 is just a patch for the ms dashboard/remote dvd playback that enables region free dvd. Its progressive hex values are the same thing as the ms dashboards.

Make sure you make a backup copy of your original xboxdash.xbe, and progressive hex edit the copy. Then after your done hex editing it call it something like pxboxdash.xbe. Then put both the original xboxdash.xbe, and the progressive hex edited pxboxdash.xbe back in the root of your c: drive. And change the xboxdash.xbe, in your dashboards (evox, avalaunch, unleashx, etc.) to pxboxdash.xbe, so it will recognize it. Having both the original xboxdash.xbe, and the pxboxdash.xbe in your c: drive will allow you to turn off your mod chip; the original bios will only recognize the the original, unmodded xboxdash.xbe. So, you'll be able to play on xbox live when the chip is turned off.

All dashboards (AVA, evox, unleashx, etc.) and apps (xbmc, emulators, etc.) show up in at least 480p, while many support 720p and 1080i without having to hex edit it for progressive scan.

Also, credit goes to ProgScan for most of these hex edits.  He is a member here at xbox-scene and on xboxhacker.net. Credit for the dvdx-2 auto-select goes to viperman3, a member here at xbox-scene.

Thanks Foe-hammer!

I used the xvi32 freeware hex editor, found here, and it worked like a charm.  Had to do a search with spaces between the characters.

I changed the name of the .xbe, put it on my f: drive, and linked it from the evox menu.  Progressive scan DVD!

Not all games, that do not support 480p, can be patche to support 480p.  Kung-fu chaos, for example is one.

Good catch, sega27, i was thinking of kung-fu chaos, not I-ninja.  My bad.

Care to clarify this a bit?

And what is 'dvdx-2 dongle free'?

I'm getting my modded xbox back next week and this is going to be one of the first things I do.  Can believe MS disabled progressive scan for DVDs.  Like Duh!  :blink:

dvdx-2 is a dvd player that doesn't require you to have the MS DVD remote kit (aka dongle free).  So you use your controller with it.

So you can edit the MS DVD player (xboxdash.xbe) to be progressive scan, or you can edit the dvdx-2 DVD player (default.xbe) to be progressive scan.  Or you can do both.

They did this because they did not want to pay royalty fees to a company that patented progressive scan DVD. What they should have done is offer a more expencive remote and dongle that enables progressive and HD in DVD playback.

Hey thank bigrig & sega27

Ok, it's starting to make more sense now.  So the only way to control the DVD playback (without the dongle) is the controller?

Well, you only hex edit the xboxdash.xbe file.  It should just be this file.  Maybe there is something different about a Pal xbox once the settings have been changed.  Not sure what it could be but you could just restore the original C: backup you have.  It won't affect anything else or your saves - just delete everything besides your evox files or whatever other dash you use if you have them on C:.  

AHH: you know what?  Did you make 2 dashes?  Once the original is edited it can only be run under the modchip.  The regular bios won't load it since it is no longer considered signed code.  I have xboxdash.xbe and pxboxdash.xbe files.  I link pxboxdash from Evox.  Maybe this works into your problem somehow.

I backed up my xbox's "C:" drive when i first installed evox dash, just incase (if it get knackered no-one is gonna give u it eh) and i edited the dash called "msdash.xbe" (called that for evovx) so i still have my backed up c drive, it wont affect my saves eh? ill just put that back on then. Does this hex edit actually work with PAL xbox's? (its set in ntsc for use with my VD-Z3). It didnt work just replacing the origional msdash back so im guessing it changes a config file aswell..
Feedback geatly appr

I don't know the answer to this question.  Hopefully someone here does - I would think it would work or could be made to work leaving everything else stock but that's just a hunch.

As far as your saves, you'll be fine.  Just swap out the stock C: and start over.  A lot of people get too excited and never back it up.  Be glad you were smart and thorough the first time - blind faith in technology is a predictable ass-biter.

I'm not going to even ask on the above.

You either did something wrong while hex editing, your tv doesn't support 480p, and if it does you don't have it enabled, or you forgot to enable 480p in the ms dashboard.  Make sure you have checked all these things.

Post by: Foe-hammer on March 02, 2004, 10:17:00 AM
You do not need to hex edit the ms dash (xboxdash.xbe) for progressive.  It is independent of dvdx2.  Sounds like something is amiss with how you hex edited the dvdx2 default.xbe then, if everything else is in check.  I would go back and mess with the dvdx2 hex values again (try seting it back to interlace and see if it works, then try progressive again), and see if you can get it to work.  Good luck.

I can get 480p games to play if I turn my mod off. I of course can not see the MSdash, but the games load just fine. The TV displays 480p as the input and the picture is fantastic.  Mod on, I get my evox dash. Try playing a game or movie and all I get is audio. I have hex edited my files as posted a few times now with no luck following the directions to a t!

Your problem isn't with the hex editing values, because with your chip on you should be able to view games in 480p from off the hdd or dvd drive.  Playing xbox 480p games has nothing to do with these hex editing values; they are only for to enable 480p ms dash/dvd playback, and dvd2x.  Nothing more.

1) Well since you have to have a modchip enabled to view a hacked xboxdash.xbe, i'll let you figure it out.
2) There is an auto select hex that will do both interlace and progressive.
3) Patching the ms dash has nothing to do with xbox games.  Most xbox games are already 480p, only a few are not.

Will Hex editing the MSdah get the flubber screen to come back as well?  I have tried to hook my xbox to my HDtv and now I do not get the flubber screen and I can not get into the MSdash or watch DVDs at all.  Avalaunch eventually will load and it seems to still work fine.  Any one know what I can do about this? blink.gif

98% chance that your TV's component inputs do not accept a 480i signal.  The bios (flubber) and xboxdash/dvd player are 480i.  You cannot change the bios but the purpose of the hex edit is to be able to see the dash in 480p (much clearer even for tv's that do accept 480i) and watch Dvds in 480p.  You need your modchip on to view the hex edited dash so you will need to keep an unaltered xboxdash.xbe and save the edited one a pxboxdash.xbe or some such variant.

Are there any software that works with 720p or higher? (ex. XBMP) should i set something somewhere ???

Tnx all and apologize my english wink.gif

No, Evox and MS dash do not support 720p or 1080i.  This is a totally different resolution from 480i/p variants and it's not as simple as enabling it.

When u hex edit the .xbe for dvdx2 is it set to auto selection (where it will switch back to interlace if you don't have it hooked up using a hdtv)??? 

If not does anybody know how to do it that way because I hook up my xbox to alot of different tvs and I don't wanna have to keep replacing the .xbe everytime I watch dvds on a different display.

edit: Nevermind.  I just made 2 seperate .xbe's and renamed them so I would know the difference between the 2 .   1 has progressive scan and the other 1 doesn't.

To get the DVDX2 app to auto switch between progressive and non-progressive I used a patcher that edited the default.xbe file.

I compared the unpatched default.xbe file with the patched file and here are the observations:

Search for E0 10 0B F0 51 8B CF

Change to E0 10 0B F0 51 EB 71

Also search for 5E C2 18 00 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90

Change to 5E C2 18 00 80 61 28 9F 8B CF E9 84 FF FF FF

This does work for me.

Changes are in BOLD

Addition: do *not* do the 04 to 05 hex edit when using the method above.

Silly question.

I made the changes as per the thread.  No how do I *really* know the movies are playing in PScan from dvdx2?

I assume your tv doesn't have an info button so any type of display where it tells you what type of signal you are recieving (my Mits say 480i/480p/1080i when I change devices or bring up the video info).  No real way to tell otherwise although I find the MS dash to be MUCH clearer and sharper in 480p as opposed to 480i (DVD video isn't as easy to tell and I can't say I find the output impressive) - I've swapped back and forth between the dashes though and there is no mistaking the 480p vs. 480i signal on my MS dash.  It is night and day.

Alright... Ive read all I can find about getting dvdx-2 dongle free to play in 480p.. Mod enabled, evox boots and tv is in 480p ( checked ).  Go to dvdx-2 and it changes to 480i.. Did the hex edit where you just change the 04 to a 05 and I get nothing but a blank screen and an xbox that stops responding... I also tried the autodetect hex edit, and it loads up, but loads again in 480i... 480p, 720p, and `080i are enabled in xbox config, tv supports it ( as evox comes up in it, as well as my stand alone dvd player ) and the hex edit are exact, even tried a few diffrent hex editors.. Does anyone know if there is anything else I can try???

xboxdash.xbe is in c:\

If you use evolution-x (evox) for your dashboard, I recommend you follow this procedure (this is in the hex edit tutorial for xboxdash).

FTP xboxdash.xbe from xbox to PC

On PC, rename xboxdash.xbe to pxboxdash.xbe

Hex edit pxboxdash.xbe on PC to support progressive.

FTP pxboxdash from PC to Xbox

Edit evox.ini so that the msdash= line points to pxboxdash.xbe instead of xboxdash.xbe.

This way you leave your original xboxdash.xbe untouched.

I just did it like the instructions said and I am a total newbie all the way. It took less then 15 minutes and worked like a charm. I am glad this was here because I just got a xvga+ and was annoying I couldnt see my dash or use my dvd player anymore without getting a headache from eye strain:P
As for anyone not sure if it works or not. My monitor (and IM guessing all monitors for this matter) will not display 480I corectly. After moding the hex code I can now see both my dvd's ad my dash perfectly. I especcially like the fact I can watch my movies in high def on my monitor, looks really good on my 21" nec.

If anyone is wondering... the REASON why you change the name of the evoxdash xbe that you edited, is so that you can BOOT YOUR XBOX WITH THE MODCHIP OFF.  See, editing this file makes it no longer signed code, so normal bios won't allow it to boot. In other words, you can't get to your dash without using hacked bios, if your file named xboxdash.xbe is edited. Name your edited file to pxboxdash.xbe and copy it onto c, leaving the normal file alone.

You then open up your evox ini and edit it where it says xboxdash.xbe, to pxboxdash.xbe, so that you will boot progressive with your modchip on, and your dash will still work with your modchip off.

To get the DVDX2 app to auto switch between progressive and non-progressive I used a patcher that edited the default.xbe file.

I compared the unpatched default.xbe file with the patched file and here are the observations:

Search for E0 10 0B F0 51 8B CF

Change to E0 10 0B F0 51 EB 71

Also search for 5E C2 18 00 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90

Change to 5E C2 18 00 80 61 28 9F 8B CF E9 84 FF FF FF

This does work for me.

Changes are in BOLD

Addition: do *not* do the 04 to 05 hex edit when using the method above.

Man, I can't find the hex values with search. Can someone post of offsets of the two values for me (the number on the left side). Thx.

You might have to search for the hex values without spaces ..

Search for E0100BF0518BCF

then edit to E0100BF051EB71

Also search for 5EC218009090909090909090909090

Change to 5EC218008061289F8BCFE984FFFFFF

hope this helps

I just noticed that the Network settings panel in the MSdash doesn't display at 480p. Is there way to fix that? Is it launching another xbe when I goto those settings.

i did the change from pal to ntsc region 4 with enigma's app, and at config magic the xbox was rated as ntsc. BUT no string to enable the 480p at the original M$ dash, do i need to do any wiring, or to have composide. I currently have s-video mod. as i said i have a 1.1 pal version. Also at the original xboxdash.xbe searched for the noted strings with a hex editor and i couldn't found them. Any clues for those 2 problems?

thanks

P.S. can anyone send me a hacked MS.xbe to test it?

What version of the MS Dash does the hex editing work for? What about the newer MS Dash versions, any progressive options available for them?

Has anyone tried editing the new Gueux dvd-X player - it is supposed to support the dvd remote kit and would be nice if it could do progressive scan.

Is this still up to date? I read in other threads/forums that when you have the latest MS dash you can enable progressive mode by simultaneously pressing left trigger + right trigger + left joystick + right joystick. Correct me if I'm wrong smile.gif

Still the Xbox DVD player is chintzy, suffers from a number of issues, and is outperformed by a decent $80 dedicated unit so there's yet another reason not to bother.  Still, back in the day this was worthwhile specifically for people who had displays that couldn't accept 480i over the HD and 480p inputs.

Im having an issue.  I successfully made the change for msdash.xbe and default.xbe [dvdx2].  Yet, I do not see any difference in the picture.  I have a 46" Sony WS.  Another thing I noticed is that with my XBOX on, I can not change the settings from interlaced to Progressive Scan, yet when it is off on the same Video Input I can change it.  Is it that the XBOX is automatically pushing it as ProgScan onto my TV, even though I cant change the setting?

So, just so that I understand this correctly:

If you use XBMC to watch DVDs, you do NOT need to do anything as far as hex editing or patching, correct? The movies will show in progressive scan through XBMC by default (w/ component cables)?
