VGA Activada en nueva bios!!!! cable casero

Supports: 640x480, ? - No hardware or firmware limitation on higher resolutions

Interesante... parece que no hay limitaciones para los modos de HDTv en 720p o 1080i... será interesante ver en cuantos monitores van estos modos... por que no son 2 ni 3 los juegos que soportan el modo 720p (empezando por BurnOut, Tony Hawk 4...)

Salu2

haber si dan ya los esquemas y podemos probar el tema

que putada para los que tenemos bios de 256, esperemos que saquen una pronto para nosotros, mientras nos tendremos que conformar con vuestras experiencias.

Juerrr aghhhh, yo tengo 1 mega pero cambie la consola por una 1.1 con samsung y ahora a joderme. Esta bios es solo para las 1.0 :____

This will not work on 256k modchips (Matrix, Cheapmod, X-Elixir), it requires
an x2, PC-BioXX(OpenXBox), chameleon, or flashing the tsop. We will see VGA Enabled
256k _retail_ firmware in the future, but this is what we get for now. Unfortunately
for the scene, PiXEL8 went out and found himself a life (congrats, PiX!).

Van a sacar la version de 256 tb pero aun no

las bios originales de la xbox no sirvirian para poner estas bios?

Woa, que rábia, yo tengo un matrix...

Seguro que sacarán la versión de 256k?

Es que hace tiempo que necesito eso!!!

¿Y los que tengamos un equipo 5.1 y necesitamos la salida óptica?!


Hay alguna manera de hacer un mod al cable, guardando la salida óptica?

No os preocupéis que es una Beta. Seguaramente vayan apareciendo versiones compatibles con todas las consolas chipeadas.

Con respeccto al tema de la salida 5.1 no hay que preocuparse:basta con adaptar el cable de salidas por componentes (hdtv oficial o no) a Dsub,por ejemplo.

Lo siento, pero no logro entender tu solución a lo de la salida óptica...

pues el spdif lo conviertes con un conexion analogico optico q vale unas 4000 pts

Woof, todo es dinero...

Que rollo... Sólo hay la solución de hacer eso?

Es que no paro de gastar.

a ver si salen los esquemas y a ponerse manos a la hobra

v 1.0 y casero de momento a esperar pero es una buena noticia el poder hacerse una vga box

salu2

Menos mal que ya van saliendo las bios para la salida por componentes de la xbox, por que esto de jugar en verde es un palazo.

Halguien ha probado la bios ya?
y si es asi de donde se puede descargar?

No aguanto mas, necesito probar la consola en mi monitor que no tengo tele noooooooo

EL VICIO ME CORROOOEEE!!!!!!!!!

Lo kiero, lo necesito, lo deseo...me puede ahorrar el comprarme una tv para mi cuarto....
La putada q tengo un matrix hay q joderse, me esperare un timpecico para ver si sacan algo definitivo y sino me veo y intentando meter en mi ratonera un tv de 21".

Nada esta claro q habra q seguir muy decerca este post, para ver los avances.

¿Se sabe algo nuevo sobre esta bios? Es que esta muy interesante el tema pero parece que el proyecto esta parado.

Que nadie pregunte donde bajarla.

================================================
VGA compatible debug BIOS for V1.0 and V1.1 Xbox
================================================
BETA

Intended for use with DOAX

This is a beta release. It has been tested on V1.1 and V1.0 Xbox's.
Comments specific to this release should go to this thread:
http://www.xboxhacker.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=9&t=11194

Made-up FAQ:
Q: When should I use this instead of Pixel8's VGA BIOS?
A: If you are using a V1.1 Xbox, this is your only choice ATM.
If you are using a V1.0 Xbox that is in multiBIOS configuration with another mulitver BIOS, I recommend using this one

Q: Can I use IGR?
A: The debug BIOS has no built-in IGR, but team Evolution-X's dashboard can dynamically add IGR to games you play if you so choose in evox.ini. However EvoX freezes when trying to load an XBE with this setting in the debug BIOS... but hopefully this bug will be fixed sometime.

Q: When will this no longer be in the beta stage?
A: I aren't sure.

Q: What are you working on ATM?
A: A patcher to patch certain games so that they do not appear green.

Q: Which dash should I use?
A: Whatever you fancy.. edit e:\dashboard.xbx to specify the dash you wish to have loaded.
Don't be confused.. you'll see the drives are referenced a little differently. Comply with this syntax. If its all too confusing, undead (team Xecutor) documented this syntax.

Q: What about a 256KB release?
A: As long as you don't have a V1.2 Xbox, you'll be able to flash your TSOP with your cheapmod clone, matrix or whatever modchip. Therefore I don't see any need for this (Your TSOP is 1MB).



Old notes from BetaXboxVGA.nfo
==============================


--- This BETA firmware was built off of Complex Debug 1.03, a 512k image with
Debug properties made for 1.0 RETAIL XBOX ONLY. The current image has a flaw
that makes it incompatible with Component output (screen is visible but green), so it
helps to have bank select switch on your modchip, and either use the included 1 meg
image that’s mixed with standard Complex 1.03, or mix the 512k image as you see fit.

(I recommend using Xecuter2 BIOS Manager to mix it with a copy of Xecuter's
x2 MultiVer (better IGR then EvoX) that has been tweaked with NghtShd's
excellent XBtool 0.8.11.1 to remove Xecuters god damned logo.)

--- Most games that don’t work will be visible, but green. Examples include Splinter
Cell, Morrowind, Unreal Championship, Outlaw Golf and Buffy. Dragons Lair 3d blacks
out. Launching through boXplorer or quitting back to the dash from an App will often
result in a green display, and you must reset. (oddly Baulders Gate: Dark
Alliance will turn VGA mode back on). Individual patching may be required.

--- Horizontal and Vertical Sync are not accessible through the Xbox AVIP!
Unfortunately if your monitor does not accept composite sync (many do, most don’t),
you will need separate the syncs from the green signal, or possibly another source.
Simple methods should be documented for future releases of PiXEL8's VGA firmware.

--- This will not work on 256k modchips (Matrix, Cheapmod, X-Elixir), it requires
an x2, PC-BioXX(OpenXBox), chameleon, or flashing the tsop. We will see VGA Enabled
256k _retail_ firmware in the future, but this is what we get for now. Unfortunately
for the scene, PiXEL8 went out and found himself a life (congrats, PiX!).

If you're running retail:
__________________________

Do not fret! This image will run all retail software*, and will boot
xboxdash.xbe by default if there is no debug software present. Just rename EvoX to
xboxdash.xbe and you're ready to flash.

*Halo requires PiXEL8s NODEBUG.EXE
*Current IGR functions are not compatible with debug

PiXEL8's !!BETA!! VGA Enabled firmware for your Xbox Console!
________________________________________________________________________


PiXEL8 has done it again, this time unlocking the visual potential of the most
powerful console. Using this patch in conjunction with a simple Xbox AV Port (AVIP) to
VGA cable will give you a true VGA image on your CRT or LCD monitor! See Xbox as
it was meant to be seen, in PiXEL perfect native VGA.


____________________
What this is about:
____________________

-- True Native VGA on Xbox using a simple homemade cable (instructions included)
-- VGA works on 95% of games, most games that don’t work are visible but green,
-- VGA works with Microsoft's Xboxdash.xbe as well as EvoX, neXgen, and Xshell.xbe
-- VGA works with XBMP, DVDx2, and all tested emus (MameX, XSnes9X, FBAx, etc)
-- VGA Cable is easy and inexpensive to make
-- Supports: 640x480, ? - No hardware or firmware limitation on higher resolutions

En el pack de "BetaXboxVGA.zip" tambien viene este GIF que adjunto y este TXT de como fabricarse un cable VGA casero.

(be sure to read BetaXboxVGA.nfo first!)


_____________________
Flukes VGA cable tips
_____________________

There are many ways to make this cable. Use your creativity. Included is the diagram
XboxVGACable.gif with VGA and Xbox Audio/Video (AVIP) pinouts.

______________________
Your goals are simple:
______________________

1) You must lead R, G, B, and their respective grounds, from the Xbox AVIP to
your monitor. Start with the AVIP plug from any Xbox A/V connector.

2) You need to set the mode jumpers to VGA inside the AVIP plug. The biggest
Obstacle here is getting the rubber casing off the metal AVIP plug
on your chosen Xbox cable. Be careful, some reportedly have glue(!).
Once you have managed to do that, you need to wire AVIP pins 9 and 13
to (any) GND to set the mode.

3) If your monitor does not accept composite sync you will need separate
Horizontal and Vertical Sync from the green signal. No methods have
been tested extensively, but solutions are in the works and will be
discussed in the XboxHacker.net forums. We should have methods
documented by the time PiXEL releases the next version of his firmware.

4) Don’t forget audio


________________________________________________________________________
I recommend starting from an Xbox High Definition A/V Pack (HD Pack)
for these reasons:
________________________________________________________________________

1) HD Pack already has wires for R+RGnd, G+GGnd, B+BGnd, going all the way out to
'component' RCA plugs. You could solder those wires to an HD15 Female VGA
connector and mount it on the HD Pack box, or lead a VGA extension cable
from the HD Pack box, or even make an RCA to VGA cable, and not even open
the HD Pack box (but sync??).

2) To set VGA mod with HD Pack, in AVIP plug remove the wire connected to pin 11
and solder it to 13.

3) The HD Pack box makes a good place for the sync separation components.

4) HD Pack has standard and digital audio ports built in

Note: HD Pack box has 4 small Phillips screws underneath the sticker.


________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________/

I personally am not using a converted HD Pack. I have installed a VGA port right on the
back of my Xbox. I dremmelled a hole for a HD15 VGA connector and wired it straight
to the AVIP pins on the bottom of the Xbox motherboard. A switch connects the mode
pins to gnd, and I have a separate port for audio (pics coming eventually!). My monitor
accepts composite sync but I am still looking forward to exploring the best way to get
a sync signal from inside the Xbox.. possibly taking them off the video encoder or
better yet by separating csync.
