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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@ToddsNerdCave]

Great video brotha! I have one of the Chimeric adapters and it works great. I think I'll hold out until Dan's Xbox Digital solution comes out due to it's video scaling options, but this looks really great. Especially for the price. Glad to see the Xbox getting all this love lately.

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.

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.

I also notice the No name Component cables also don't have a Optical audio port like the Xbox AV pack does. and the alternative for the gamecube is a Wii and getting the offical component cables for Wii. They can be found for less than $50 instead of the $200 gamecube ones.

I love it! I installed this my self with the newer version from Dustin Xbox hd plus. Looks fantastic and clear pure hd

[@MasterOfNone88]

are you in the Los Angeles Area by chance?? how much would yo charge for this service??

[@Deez-Master]

Lets be honest, Ive never even owned an Xbox, I just like your vids :)

[@Beavernator]

I had to pause at 1:20... I had no idea my component set was worth that much... I've had those and the DVD remote with dongle sitting in a box since like 2004... Time to sell them...

Who would have guessed the composite cables I bought for my Xbox would be worth so much 18 years later.

Man there are a lot of OGXbox titles that need to be brought into the Backward compatibility catalogue. DoA, JSRF, Amped, PGR just to name a few......

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

Great vid! Been waiting a long time for something like this. Question: The colours look a bit washed out on the hdmi mod when comparing to the OG Xbox cable around the time 9:13.. is there a capture difference or is it just over saturated? Thank you!

It's 2020 and now Japan pre-ordering Xbox series X in high numbers, how the tides have turned lol

[@Evercade_Effect]

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

You can also hack the hdmi adaptor of the wii (a lot on ebay). It’s easy to do and the quality is good.

[@SchmurtzAlex]

If you are interested : dragoncity17.wordpress.com/2018/08/17/microsoft-xbox-1-hdmi-avec-le-wii2hdmi/ By the way I also test this cheap adaptor on my wii and it a great value too ! It is really strange to see that the wii is able to display less creepy image 😆

[@WickedGamerCollector]

And I was thinking the signal was great for a old Xbox.... Damn ! 😮

[@JesterialInsanity]

Awesome! Another true HDMI Mod that will never be in-stock. Sweet.

[@SomethingAbstract]

Now this is something that I’ll be buying for sure. It’ll also get me back in so I can finish my tsop mod and hdd mod

I've been waiting on this for years!! The OG Xbox is only partially tapped into. It has so much more to give. Can you do a video on why an Emulator on the OG Xbox is so difficult to create? We have them for so many other consoles. There is something tricky going on.

Games really looked great on the original Xbox, it's amazing.
