You'll have to BLINDLY navigate your way through to the utility and change it back. Guess, use noise as a guide, use splotches on the screen to assist... whatever. It sucks and it took me an hour and a half of screwing around one day to fix.
Another option is to put the original HD nack in and turn off your chip. Doing this might bring up the menu (withh or without the sound) and set the screen settings in there. I haven't tried this, but it seems like a slim possibility.
Last option is a new Xbox. Good luck.

thanks for your replay. What utility do you mean ? The original MS dash menu ?
But how can I change PAL/NTSC/NTSC-M ?
By the way, I have another modchip Executer Lite 2.1 that still have Linux bios on it. So I put this modchip into my XBOX and when I turn XBOX on I can see jumping picture of Linux welcome screen. I connected my XBOX to PC with capture card and figured out that output signal is NTSC-M. But when I take modchip out I don't see anything - no mater what input video format I select on a capture card. I'm thinking to flash this modechip with 1.8.3752 Bios, but I'm not sure if this will fix my problem.
Do you know if there is any XBOX Linux application to switch video output format (PAL/NTSC) on XBOX ?
Thanks.
Mark.

| Ok guys im downloading it! J/W why the hell did you click on it if your tv can't display that? Did you think your tv would magically turn 16:9 lol. |
I'll explain you why I changed this setting. I use XBMP to see PAL and NTSC movies.
The problem was with aspect ratio of movies on my TV (NTSC 4:3). For NTSC movie I put aspect ratio to 0 (in XBMP screen settings) and it looks good, but for PAL movies I have to put it to 0.24. So I thought that may be this new setting in XBMP will solve my problem.

E:TDATAface007 in "system.bin".
If you are only having problems when loading XBMP DELETE that directory!
I also found a bunch of weird shit in there like pictures I never accessed that were on my comp. Very weird!
Post by: Prof on July 23, 2003, 07:53:00 PM
There is no video, not even the xbox splash screen when you first turn it on. Just audio. EVOX loads but XBMP will not. If I can't load XBMP, there is no hope of fixing it the same way it was screwed up.
I can ftp into it in EVOX but that doesn't help. I've restored all files from backup. I have booted from my original EVOX CDRW but still no video.
This NTSC-J setting either wrote a change to the onboard bios or damaged hardware.
I would like to think I won't have to buy a new xbox to fix this.
Post by: Prof on July 23, 2003, 07:56:00 PM
I only wish it were that easy but I have no video anywhere, ever. Not in EVOX or in MSDashboard.

I made a XBOX bootable disk with "XBOX.NTSC.PAL.Video.Mode.Selector.Version2" application. Then boot my XBOX with this CD and press button B on controller. Then turned off and on XBOX and everithing is fine now !!!
Thanks to everyone for help.
2 Prof : let me know if you need this programm. Good luck.
Post by: Prof on July 23, 2003, 08:22:00 PM
Yes, I need it in some form I can burn with NERO to CDRW. I won't need a PAL TV will I?
If you wouldn't mind emailing it to me at [email protected]
Thanks!
Post by: Prof on July 23, 2003, 08:41:00 PM
You are a god!
I found the software, burned it, pressed B, reboot and now it's fixed!
Thank-you soooo much for finding the fix for this!!!!!

) then XBMP will still be FUBARED up cause it has corrupted settings in that folder I mentioned earlier in a previous posts. Delete all the crap in thata and then it should work just dandy! Just DONT tocuh that stupid new setting in there!

Last night I got the same problem, played around in xbmp, looked a movie (chocolat, great movie), restarted the xbox this morning : only sound, no video,
probably the same problem as here, can you send me the NTSC.PAL.Video.Mode selector iso ? Or tell me were to get it ?
I have a PAL TV, do I also need to press B when booting, you can mail me at

I got that XBOX.NTSC.PAL.Video.Mode.Selector.Version2 and burnt it on CDRW. Put it in my xbox, waited and press B. Off/On Xbox.. same thing (sound, no video). I was wondering if my XBox could read CDRW originally or am i screwed? Plz, any insight.

I think I sufferred a 1-2 punch. If anyone help can help, please respond.
I suffered the dropped video problem as I was friggin' with XBMP to get aspect ratio's correct. The box would boot, I could hear sounds but no video. The NTSC/PAL selector would have helped here.
Life would have been simple had I checked the boards before I did what I did, but, I opted to disconnect my Matrix chip on my XBOX v1.0 and hope that all things would reset - it didn't, but when I try to turn on my box now, not only have I lost video (still get the sound the xbox turning on), but I also get a red/green flashing light on the outside display. My matrix chip appears to be running fine.
I even reinstalled the original unmodified hard drive and took out the matrix chip to no avail.
EDIT: Figured it out!!! Thank god...essentially had to reflash the chip and reinstall it and the do the video switch program. Thanks for the info..
Does anyone know if this if fixed in future XBMP releases?
Am I screwed or what?
I once had a red/green flashing light problem and had to change the IDE cable. I went and put a brand new IDE cable adapter - no improvement.
Any ideas? I don't want to spend another buck-50 for a new box. Thanks.

you would figure buying an XBox in Japan and using it on a Japanese TV would mean you could set it to NTSC-J?
Nope!
thanks for the file, worked like a charm!

But however this does NOT work for me (actually my friends box).
He also had fiddled with xbmp and ntsc-j and now theres no video only startup sound.
There is also NO FTP access (doesnt respond at all).
Have tried booting on cd-rw and dvd-rw (thompson drive) with enigmah and then press B or A but no go...
Wtf could be the problem here.
Xbox Version 1.0 with Matrix chip and xecuter 4977 (or 4976.02 not totally sure) bios by the way....
Managed to finally solve it with booting on a cd-rw with configmagic and restoring a blank eeprom (this was the ONLY way for me).
Post by: SHizz on October 03, 2003, 02:27:00 AM
ive got the Enigmah video selecter , but i cant figure out how to burn it properly so it boots.
*Note i live AUS and have a 007/mechassualt save/audio exploit , modded xbox. I still have FTP access to it if thats any help . So yeh i need to press A to boot it to PAL right?

(yes im sad, i would have stayed home to fix my xbox over clubbing tonight

Post by: medievil on October 07, 2003, 06:12:00 AM
Oh well, i can always stick the MB/HD up for backup or get a few things at a time and make my Xbox in a pc case system....
Post by: Roadrage on October 29, 2003, 08:53:00 PM
OMG...I did the same thing...made the disc...pushed "B" button like 20 times rebooted. And it worked!!!! You guys are awesome!!!! Thanks
Post by: iceburg_007 on November 10, 2003, 11:22:00 AM
After a few hours of crying and reading the other posts on this topic about how my video chip was fried i was read to kick the box! This worked perfectly.
Thanks to all
Post by: Prezident on November 10, 2003, 06:21:00 PM
I can't believe they would put such a setting in XBMP to cause something like this to happen, but live and learn I guess.
One more note I would like to leave you all with for your amusement.
In my excitement to apply this fix, I labeled the Enigmah disk, and forgot to burn it. Took a few reboots and some messing around before I realized there was nothing on the disk to fix the xbox. After I remembered to burn it, everything came back up like a charm.
Thanks again to all you very helpful peeps.

I cant beleive the number of people who change their video mode settings to something that their TV doesnt support.
Post by: Hibiki on November 30, 2003, 02:32:00 PM
(then again, it's bad but fun to test every single setting on the xbox, so I guess that's another problem
)
