Hi there,
I got this one about 7 months ago. I will be honest about this... after ordering, it was delivered about 2 months later.
When i did get it, it didnt work properly on my 19" SVGA monitor ( i remembered the monitor was repaired at one point), so i tested it on my friends 17" monitor and it wored perfectly. That was the last i used it.
Halo looked incedible. There is so much more in the backround.
The XVGA Box is similair to the well known Dreamcast VGA Box.
Connectors: 1x XBox
1x SubD (VGA)
1x Analog Audio (Stereo)
1 x optical Digital TosLink.
The PAL XBox automatically recognizes the X-VGA Box and games start directly in 480p. The main Dashboard will not be visible, since it is not VGA compatible. Therefore, standard adjustments have to be made via a conventional Video cable.
VGA support depends on the games. At the moment, nearly all released games support the VGA mode. In the US, 99% of all games support 480p / VGA, since it is part of the official HDTV standard of the XBox.
Some american games like Dead or Alive 3, Azurik or Nascar Heat even support 16:9 VGA. When using a 16:9 Monitor/Projector/VGA-Television, you can enjoy widescreen VGA ! Unfortunately, the PAL Machine does NOT support 16:9 VGA at all.
Other available VGA Boxes like the Redant VGA Box for example do not take advantage of the 480p signal of the X-Box. These devices just convert the normal S-Video signal to VGA (simple linedoubling). This results in a poor picture quality compared to real 480p.
