http://antibeat.host.sk/vgaguide/It took me a while to find various information about vga mods here. people were very helpful, but the tutorials were slightly old and some of the diagrams confusing. also, i only knew about hex editing after stumbling upon it. To make it easier for someone to get into making a VGA mod to play xbox games on their PC monitors, i've brought together much of this information from the xs forums. I made my own diagrams i thought were more clear, and tried to make it all as simple as possible. Although i tried to keep it simple, i wanted to introduce someone with no information to the terms assosiated with doing the mod so that they could easily search this forum for relevant information. Includes:-HD vs s-video comparison with screenshots -Guide with diagrams on wiring a vga cable -Quick guide to hex editing the MS Dashboard and other non-HD games to work in 480p -A list of games with the green-tint problem This post has been edited by xboxgamer733: Apr 6 2007, 06:20 AM

Forgive my lack of patience to explain thoroughly, since I have done so in the innumerable other topics that asked the same question  Primarily the quality of the image depends on your display device (monitor, projector, etc). The specifications for YPbPr (progressive component signal) and RGB (VGA-like) are not so different to justify significant differences. However a specific projector could output a better image with RBG input, while another with YPbPr... Also (IIRC), YPbPr has a marginally larger theoretical colorspace, but it's useless for practical purposes. |
