[@johnrussell8086]

How would this work with a PAL Xbox as the highest this goes is 480i or if true 576i. 576i would be enough for the purpose I need it for but I think this is false.

[@ElectronShepherdLLC]

Thanks for the awesome review, Blaine! I'm glad to hear you're having a positive experience with my products! ⚡

[@tultoneytp738]

Thanks you for offering this kind of product on your store. I visited it today and commanded mine. As a video games player I wanna discover the first Xbox games catalog but the rendering was awful with the original cable, even on a CRT (Kingdom under fire for exemple). Can't wait to receive it and try it on a HD television. It will enable me to discover all the firtst Xbox exclusivities. So just ... "un grand merci" from France :)

[@L0tsen]

Hello do you ship your products to Europe and will I have to pay tull fees for importing. You probebly won't answer

[@ElectronShepherdLLC]

@@L0tsen yes, you can purchase these if you’re in Europe. The shipping costs are calculated at checkout. If your country charges import tariffs for goods coming from the USA, then you may be required to pay those fees.

[@Tony-zs3nq]

@@ElectronShepherdLLChello how are you recovering from surgery? If I buy an adapter today will you be able to ship it?

[@sparda1418]

I have an issue with your adapter. It has really low sound! What could be the problem?

[@818dojo4]

I saw this video and bought it. I kind of had buyers remorse, but then it got delivered today. Wow I am so glad I got this thing. No lag, I'm playing street fighter games and it feels really nice.

[@codysandusky2130]

I just received my unit in the mail last weekend and have enjoyed it so far! No stress or strain on the port from the HDMI cable being connected to the adapter. I have the Monster component cables and a RetroTink 5X, but this is far more convenient and I always fear the ridiculously tight fit of the Monster plugs will break the 5X.

[@blainelocklair]

Awesome! I'm glad you dig it too. Agreed, it's an ideal fit into the A/V port on the back of the OG. Won't need a strain relief stand under it or anything like that. I have the TINK 5X also, and I love it. But for the OG, this sure does make for a value-priced, value packed option.

[@RedHorseAdventures]

I have been screaming from the hilltops for someone to endorse this! Geez! Been using it for years, works great and is a great price especially compared to others that require opening and soldering.

[@blainelocklair]

Agreed! I really like it. I tried to focus as objectively as possible on what I got from it, as there are many passionate people about getting the absolute max performance out of video quality (which I dig). I think, for the price, this is a banger. It just makes getting quality, unmolested video out of the OG simple, and that's always a good thing.

[@RedHorseAdventures]

I would mention it on some videos and sadly it was ignored because the video was likely sponsored by the product manufacturer. But for me, this is across the board the best option out there. It should also be noted that they run out of stock OFTEN. So if you’re on the fence, pull the trigger ASAP or you may be waiting a while.

[@CarsandCats]

Yep, that's the best HDMI adapter that I have used. Much better than the "Pound" style that also need a USB power source. And you get 5.1 digital sound which you don't with the others.

[@willwood4130]

The best budget HDMI option for the OG Xbox BY FAR. Kudos for getting the word out!

[@waynetemplar2183]

Looks like a neat and cost-effective solution but I always worry that these types of adaptor can put too much strain on the console's AV port. The one I got for my GameCube came with a 3D printed support bracket

[@RedHorseAdventures]

It works flawlessly with no worries

[@blainelocklair]

I get that. Don't worry; it fits extremely well into the A/V port and provides no significant strain there. It's lightweight and sturdy at the same time also.

[@Eclectic133]

I grabbed 2 of these and I have to say I am happy with my purchase

[@shredbraahh8606]

Curious how this compairs to XBOX component cables going into a Retrotink 5X.

[@Frapskillar]

Imagine combining the Xbox2HDMI with the upcoming Retrotink 4K, that would be interesting

[@ll_spud]

You can use these with a mclassic to upscale. I do the same with my wii 2 hdmi adapter

[@anFy81]

I have a similar adapter for our wii - works perfectly :-)

[@blainelocklair]

Nice! Electron Shepherd makes some great products.

[@CarsandCats]

Me too!

[@jonathanlisowski5618]

Only thing holding me back from this is the lack of an optical audio port.

[@Netherdog7058]

i thrifted a tv kinda recently which actually has composite anyway which im using as my main monitor

[@Nifterific]

Personally I use the Kaico adapter on Amazon. I get a great picture with it, and it’s not just a block in the back of the console it’s more of a cabled dongle so it doesn’t force my Xbox to sit way far forward in my entertainment center. Also I noticed you didn’t use any 480p 16:9 games with this. Those games are anamorphic wide screen, and you will have to choose your aspect ratio on your TV to fill that in. Something like Dead or Alive 3 is a great example. It’s not a flaw though, as you pointed out these take component video and pass it to HDMI so it is supposed to work this way.

[@djm9937]

Now, if I designed such a thing, I would design it so that it didn't stick out at the back. I would have the unit running with its body sitting flush in the recess, or have a short pigtail. Adding extra depth to the unit is not ideal when the unit is deep as it is. That said, it's a great piece of kit..Great video :)

[@ColeDaCMNDR]

Got mine the other day! Love it so far, looks like I’m playing on a 360 in game and the sound output is better than ever!! Only issue I’ve had is some visual noise in a few pre-rendered cutscenes but that could be due to the rip of the game or file compression. Shout out Electron Shepherd!

[@juegajuanluna]

Definitely buying one thanks.

[@blainelocklair]

Awesome! I dig it. I like when things get made simple and efffective. It'll be my go-to for the OG moving forward.

[@boredstudent]

I have an HDMI converter for the Xbox but I may get this one. The one I have is one of those that require external power. I haven't touched my Xbox in a while though since I softmodded it.

[@blainelocklair]

I like this adapter a lot. I have one of those externally powered ones too. This one does a great job, is convenient, and fits in the A/V port so nicely. Great value and honest price.

[@20sBurning]

Are you a TN Vols fan Blaine?

[@boredstudent]

One game that supports 1080i on the original Xbox is Enter The Matrix. I don't know any other game that supprts that resolution though. Most games are either 480p or 720p. Anyway I just purchased one of these HDMI converters for myself so I can't wait to get it. Some people such as Tito of Macho Nacho Productions actually installed an HDMI socket to his original Xbox but soldering isn't my forté so I avoided those types of mods. I also have an HDMI converter for my Nintendo Wii. Unfortunately that console is not an HD console so it only supported 480i or 480p so games don't look all that great compared to how they would look on a CRT monitor.

[@jessragan6714]

Atari Anthology has 1080i support, for what it's worth.

[@damianukaszewicz3330]

I just got today my Xbox that I bought for 50USD. And the offer had along with console HDMI adapter and 7 games. Never had one before and decided to get it since I'm getting tired of all those AAA „super realistic graphic” games. And also to play JSRF the original way instead of using CXBX emulator. Maybe later I'll also get some classics like Spider-Man 2, Getting Up, THAW, etc.

[@david4real]

Received mine this week. I just wish that it would work on a 5 port HDMI switch.

[@Eric-sj8rn]

I paid double for a Xedusa just to find out that it doesn't work with sound for version 1.0 consoles 😢.

[@djklink20009]

i already have the hyperkin and kaico cables but i have 3 original xboxes so i might try this

[@8bit_billy]

Thanks for the free game. Love your videos, thanks to you. I'm able to enjoy my games in many different ways.

[@bryanjensen2614]

Best thing about the Xbox...NO RED RING OF DEATH.

[@HBK22071980]

I use the HDMI Adapter from Kaico. No issues came for me

[@blainelocklair]

I have their Dreamcast adapter. I like it.

[@WuTangWax]

Purchased mine this morning

[@jessragan6714]

How is this compared to the Pound HDMI cable? I'm currently using that one and on larger displays, white text on dark backgrounds looks a little... swimmy. Like the kind of distortion that makes them look like they're in turbulent water.

[@GAMECLOSET]

I wonder which would be better: this one or the Xedusa? Hmmmmmmm…… I need one or the other so I can play my original Xbox for my show. Decisions, decisions…

[@blainelocklair]

I think it's amazing that there are so many great options out there for the OG to get it connected to HDMI. I love the platform and the many great games it has. It's a great time to be an OG fan! :)

[@MichaelM28]

Xedusa is more expensive and according to RetroRGB doesn't get as bright as the Chimeric or Xbox2HDMI

[@shawyo5]

My only question is how is the response time when you hit the controller to when you move your character on the tv/monitor.

[@km6473]

[@tultoneytp738]

Hi, thanks for the video ! Does it works on PAL Xbox ? Can we buy it in Europe ? Thank you.

[@blainelocklair]

Sure does! From their official site: "This module efficiently supports the 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i resolutions that are default to the original Xbox. This module is able to support all of the following resolutions although they are not all achievable outputs from the original Xbox: 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p25/30/50/60, 1080i50/60, 1080p24/25/30/50/60.

I have another Xbox hdmi adapter from Chimeric, but my Sony Bravia TV is unable to get a stable signal. Halo for instance keeps blacking out. This same adapter however works flawlessly on a non-Sony TV. Got any advice or suggestions what could be wrong, considering I have a Sony Bravia like you?

[@blainelocklair]

Hmm. Not sure, but it sounds like an HDMI handshake issue, maybe? I have a nutty signal chain going to my Bravia TV for making KZbin videos. Console through HDMI switcher through Elgato to TV. I can at least confidently say that this specific adapter performed admirably with this setup. Do you have anything in your HDMI signal chain other than the Xbox itself and the adapter to the TV? Might be worth a look into.
