From the readme/nfo: [QUOTE] This is not an official Team Xecuter BIOS release. This is an unofficial, 100% VGA-compatible release of the X2 5035 BIOS by myself (FrostyTheSnowman) and xman954. We are not affiliated with Xecuter in any way, and this release is not supported at all by Team Xecuter. Version 1.0 * Supports Conexant Encoders * Supports Focus Encoders * Supports all HD resolutions, including 480p, 720p, and 1080i. * Supports 'green screen' games! * Supports ALL 480i Games and Applications! Known Bugs: - Not compatible with v1.6/v1.6b XBOX Consoles - Not compatible with PAL XBOX Consoles (Switch to NTSC for VGA) - When using a video cable OTHER than a VGA cable, the colors will be incorrect. It is advised that you use a Dual BIOS setup, consisting of one VGA BIOS (like this one) and a normal BIOS so that you can still use your XBOX on a regular TV.

How well would a Component to VGA adapter work? Also, anyone know any good dual-bios softmod method? I tried Ndure but it had a clock problem so if it was unplugged for more than five hours, a nice error 21 popped up.

I can provide you with a PBL version of this BIOS if you like, which would make it so you could simply launch an application and you would have perfect VGA instantly, no questions asked.

You would not have to change your softmod in any way, shape, or form by using a PBL (application) version of this BIOS.

PM me if you would like to try it.

NOTE: Component to VGA cables work perfectly if you have a compatible Sync-on-Green monitor. (not all monitors support this though)

My PBL version of this BIOS works fine, as should the non-PBL version. (this release)

This BIOS will not kill your modchip. (it will look like a COMA console though if you do not use a VGA cable)

Please note that you need to use an HDTV cable with this BIOS.

It does not work with normal video cables at all.

Your XBOX will not boot without a homebrew VGA cable.

Only use this in a Dual-BIOS setup if you need to use normal video cables.

I am, i'm using the Monster XGL400 CVAA-10.

Is your XBOX an NTSC console?

Can anyone else confirm if they are having issues, or if it is working properly?

Strange...

Are you 100% sure you flashed it correctly?

I've only tested the PBL version myself... I don't own a modchip.

But, when packed properly, a PBL BIOS works exactly like a flashed one, so i've never bothered to get a modchip.

Known Bugs:
- Not compatible with v1.6/v1.6b XBOX Consoles
- Not compatible with PAL XBOX Consoles (Switch to NTSC for VGA)
- When using a video cable OTHER than a VGA cable, the colors will be incorrect. It is advised that you use a Dual BIOS setup, consisting of one VGA BIOS (like this one) and a normal BIOS so that you can still use your XBOX on a regular TV.

It's possible to play with another cable than the VGA Cable with the VGA Bios. If you use a scart cable (RGB cable) then the colors will be correct too. It's important to say it beacause then you're not yet compel to use a dual bios.

Ndure doesnt suffer from clock problems. Never has.
