Hey,
I was wondering if its at all possible to make a converter so you can output your xbox to VGA or DVI? I've heard tid bits on this but never the whole story could someone shed some light on this?
Thanks,

Heya
I know you cab buy vga converters, the cost of parts to make one would prob work out fairly expensive tho, and never seen any diagrams for it.

2 ways of doing it, you get a composite to RGB converter , making your own one would be foolhardy if your not a dab hand with electronics.No point in getting a DVI coverter as your never going to get a native digital signal anyhow. Best one id say is the x2vga (http://www.x2vga.com/), down side is it doesnt display interlaced video (but most things run in progressive anyhow)
The other thing, well the GPU on the xbox is an Nvidia chipset and has a native VGA signal anyhow, just need a bios to tell it that , sorry memories a little vague here, i remember reading about it years ago but as i`ve never done it never paid much attention (pixel8 rings a bell), but im presuming theres bios`s out there that allow VGA modes. Anyhow in that case all youd` need is a cable adapter consisting of a resistor , 2 capacitors and vga sockets. Do a google on xbox to vga _________________ TCBM
