Imagine this mod on 3 original xboxes with forza motorsport. (3 discs & the xboxes connected via lan into a switch or router so they can work together in multi screen.) Doing this, must look amazing with the right displays on a set of hdmi modded xbox. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJuqk6Fudsyjbbc Speaking of which do you have any softmod tutorial or plans too make what you woud say is the easiest method that would let you upgrade the harddrive easily as well ? Got an original xbox sitting around for a while without any wiring, controllers or a screen too use but it has a working dvd drive atm, i got a pc i can hook up ide harddrives too but might go sata harddrive with adapter too ide as i got a few 160 - 250 gb drives sitting around which would be plenty of space for the few games id like too get running on one.

Regardless of video output, after nearly 20 years I've forgotten just how good looking the games were for the system. The 80s through to early 2000's was the golden age of gaming. No microtransactions, no multiple editions of the same game, expansion packs (before they were called DLC) actually had some content in them rather than just something tacked on. I never played DOA 3, but I did play DOA 2 on the PS2 and it was a thoroughly enjoyable fighting game.

[@Jobobn1998]

Fun Fact: The best way to get high-quality component output from an Xbox nowadays is to get an official Xbox 360 component cable (which were ridiculously overbuilt, and are very common to find nowadays), and convert it to an OG Xbox connector. There's guides online on how to do this, and it takes a lot of fine solder work (and hot glue to layer in some extra protection for the connections) and can be pretty tedious, but the results are amazing.

[@smokeythabear1518]

With Xbox emulation still being fairly rough (better than years ago, but still) the Xbox is probably the most important of the "retro" consoles to get modern treatments. Still confuses me how little attention this massively popular console has gotten over the years (which is thankfully increasing as the years go by).

[@ZachAttackIsBack]

Console graphics took a massive leap with the Dreamcast, Xbox, Gamecube, and PS2. Since then, it's basically been small improvements each generation with diminishing returns. Most of the games shown in this video look amazing, especially when output at these resolutions. Squint and you could probably convince yourself these are modern releases.

[@6ch6ris6]

totally agree! some xbox games look even better than certain modern games in my opinion.

[@Spillerrec]

Not being able to output in higher resolution at an acceptable frame rate IS an indication of significant improvement. Emulation has really increased my enjoyment of old titles, after ripping a bunch of my PS3 games and trying 720p titles in 4K has been amazing. I don't want to play on the original console anymore if I can avoid it. You can tell they are older games, especially for PS2, so there have been more progress than just higher resolutions but it really do make a big difference.

[@CheapBastard1988]

Depending on the title though. The difference between GTA SA and GTA IV or V is enormous.

[@jpesicka999]

Another great Xboz video. I personally am using s-video on a 32" Sony Trinitron CRT. But I have a pound hdmi cable and the HD component pack. The HD AV PACK is the best for picture quality of the 2 but it doesn't stretch to full screen is uses black bars so it is sharper but obviously smaller image

[@donkeyk1988]

Shame about the lack of internal upscaling, odd that they haven't implemented this when most other HDMI kits do so.

[@ratowniknaemigracji6537]

This is a low-cost solution based upon www.analog.com/en/products/adv7511.html - it does not contain an upscaler. Don’t get me wrong - this is an amazing thing and I’m planning to get it, but it’s far apart in features possible with an FPGA. This is a dedicated ASIC converting the signal to HDMI.

[@donkeyk1988]

Ratownik Na Emigracji that’s fair enough, I guess my thoughts are that anyone who is interested in doing a mod like this is likely to want to do it ‘properly’ and if that means paying more, so be it. Not sure what market this is appealing to, if you want a simple low cost solution you’d probably accept the results you get with a pound cable, as flawed as that cable is.

[@DustinHolden]

720P upscaling is coming in a future update via a firmware update.

[@vorenge]

@@DustinHolden awesome! Thank you for making this for everyone. I couldn't have imagine this getting even more awesome. Can't wait. ;)

[@GoldSrc_]

You don't really gain any real resolution with an upscaler. Upscaling with nearest neighbor will always look the sharpest but you're basically just stretching what's there, as nearest neighbor just means no filtering. This is not like an emulator where you can increase the internal resolution if you want.

[@alexatkin]

This just makes me more excited to see what supported Xbox games will look like on Xbox Series X, as my original Xbox died. :(

[@c4rn199]

Awesome, I've been looking for something like this. I still have several xbox's in storage bins and this might be a good way to get some use out of them.

[@arcangelnew]

For those using it on a 32in or smaller tv I think the cheap component cables do the work just fine.

[@johnathin0061892]

The official OG Xbox component cables look perfectly fine on my 32". Kind of surprised so many don't think the OEM Microsoft component cables look very good.

[@tubinonyou]

I've been using the Psyclone component cables through an OSSC and am pretty satisfied with that for now. The Psyclone cables were what I owned back in the early 2000's and I decided to hunt them down again on ebay. If Citrus has major improvements, such as upscaling, I may consider then.

[@EnlightenedSavage]

I've got both the svideo and component monster cables for the Xbox. I could only afford the svideo one when I first bought it and it made such a difference I could not believe. Then I wasn't hesitant to get a component one cause I didn't think it would be much a difference. It was an expensive purchase but it was a noticeable difference again. Not as much as the jump from composite to svideo but it was still definitely worth it. If you can find the monster cables I definitely suggest picking them up. Man I miss playing that console. Gonna have to pull it out storage and do the mods it needs.

Pretty cool. I have a box which converts an S-video signal to digital HDMI. I use that with a component cable for 720p and 1080i on my classic Xbox. The results are rather good. With its 1TB hard drive it's made my Xbox a great emulation system. Though I have to admit, my PC has taken its place as I now use EmuVR to play retro games in virtual reality with highly realistic CRT displays. It truly has to be seen in VR to be believed. The Xbox is obviously still great for Xbox games which I sometimes play. TimeSplitters 2 for example.

IMHO aftermarket component cables do their job perfectly fine. You can connect analog component to for example AV receiver, that can even upscale or even deinterlace analog signal and output through HDMI. Sure nothing will beat bit-perfect digital video output from GPU, but I've tested direct component (with aftermarket cable) on PDP and through upscaling with my Yamaha receiver on PC LCD monitor and quality is great. Xbmc interface with HD res. is razor sharp.

You should do a video on ReShade, a DLL you install for games on PC that enables the use of custom fanmade shaders that can dramatically improve the graphics of old games, adding ambient occlusion, bloom, depth of field, raytracing and other effects. It also works with some emulators, I am using it with RPCS3 for example.

I bought a Samsung DLP HDTV (well… it wasn’t full HD as it’s max resolution was 1080i, but I digress) in the spring of 2005 and the HD cables I purchased were official XBOX Component Cables with TOS-Link out. It didn’t have a box like the HD AV Pack you’ve shown. My cables are similar to the component cables that came with the pre-HDMI fat XBOX 360s (but the 360 wasn’t out yet). I’ve always been confused by the HD AV Pack and have wondered what the benefit to the pack (if any) was.

Back then and when I had a DreamCast I loved using S-Video even when I got a SVHS player I used S-Video...so sharp and high res for the time

[@sonygoup]

Wow that looks great!!!

[@robbiejmsn1]

I've recently finished installing the XboxHD+ (what its called now) and it wasn't easy but way worth it!

[@remakeyourself]

Man... Burnout 3? DOA 3? Soul Calibur 2? Black? Gunvalkyrie?!? You're giving me some serious nostalgia vibes here. I actually have the OG HDMI Pack. I worked at best buy during that era and bought ALL the component cables and such from that generation. Still have my GC Component cables and the PSP Go Dock w/component cables, too!

Where can I get the music at the intro? Its very good, and your other music is excellent!

Even though I'm not a fan of the Xbox I totally enjoyed this video!

Thanks MVG for the video, this is a very interesting mod, and the price is decent, 60$ for an HDMI mod is well acceptable, the installation doesn't seems to be this complicated either (at least from what i could see on the pictures) the hardest part being probably soldering the flat cable on the video chip on the motherboard. Still play my OG xbox or use XBMC quite a bit, this would be a nice upgrade from the high def pack, hopefully i can get it for europe, we'll see, first i'll want the definitive installation manual to see if it's doable by myself :)

th3 Cub3 Since you play regularly, if you have an interest in joining a group that regularly plays online multiplayer of original Xbox games using XLink Kai, let me know.

[@andrewnprice]

Small note, but I wish you would put the game titles on screen when you show video excerpts. Maybe you do and I don't notice, or it is in the subtitles. However, while I could figure out most since I was old enough to have played most of those games when they came out, others I was unsure about.

[@siterrill]

I'm wondering what the game was at 11:45 myself.

[@andrewnprice]

@@siterrill He published a list in the comments. Apparently Unreal Championship 2, but yeah would be a bit easier if he would show the titles on screen. Still, I appreciate the effort he puts into these videos.

Low IQ players always need to know music or game titles they can't find themselves so stupid people

[@ThyInfoMan]

I'm surprised you didn't bring it up but it's worth mentioning that XOSVP has been sold out for MONTHS and i'm not sure it's coming back in stock. Of course, it's an open-source implementation so you can order your own PCB's and go down that route but XBOXHDMI provides the first readily available solution we've had in a while.

You can also disable bilinear and flicker filtering in XBMC for any xbe you launch through that dashboard
