original xbox lcd screen quotation
So, I"m in the process of completing my first OGXbox build, and while I"m waiting on parts to finish this one up, I"m looking at alternative ways to approach installations of certain mods, specifically the LCD Display that can be added to the Xbox.
Now, I know that there are a couple of ways to enable an LCD display to work on the Xbox, on of which is by using a Xenium-chip, and using an SPI-2-PAR to convert the display to work with the Xenium SPI bus. Now, I"ve been doing some window-shopping online, and I came across several LCD Displays with SPI Interfaces already on them.
I"m now guessing where I"m going with this, but i"ll ask anyway; given the fact that the Xenium chip uses an SPI bus to use the LCD, and the LCD display comes with an SPI Interface, would it be possible to use the display on the chip, given that I have the connector from the LCD to the chip, and that I know how to wire the LCD to the SPI bus on the chip.
Microsoft recently filed a patent that offers a glimpse of a potential design modification to Xbox controller that would feature an LCD screen for the purpose of pairing.
The screen has been placed in the center of the controller. The design resembles the structure of PlayStation controllers. The screen would work towards notifying players when they are using a mobile device or console. Because of the presence of this screen, gamers will find it very convenient to switch between cloud services and console.
Xbox Game Pass library has contributed greatly towards making cloud gaming far more accessible. Microsoft is making an effort to make the Xbox system more user-friendly and modifying Xbox controllers seems to be the right step in that direction.
Microsoft’s patent exemplifies the LCD screen as something that would help players figure out whether their Xbox controllers have been paired with a device successfully or not. However, there is a possibility of using the screen for other tasks or activities as well. Apart from the traditional buttons, the new design features the Xbox button. The screen appears to be quite compact and is surrounded by a traditional frame.
There have been several instances in the past when Microsoft has modified the Xbox controller. With every console, it has received an important upgrade. The Elite Controller Series 2 has enabled players to have better control or command over the game. The screen is quite unique as it gives the Xbox team the opportunity to display a variety of things. One can update the controller and make it support different games differently.
Players will have to wait for some time to try out the new controllers. At the moment, the Xbox Team’s energies are channelized towards the development of the Xbox Game Pass and the upcoming releases for Xbox consoles.

If anybody is looking for one just search panasonic plasma tv and see what pops up. If you see a model number you can find out that way. Also another word of advice, whoever is selling it is likely to tnink its an hdtv because its a flat screen and looks just like one. I had to explain to the seller what it was and I got price of 200 down to 40 bucks.
Xbox 360 has backward compatibility with the number of supported Xbox games depending on the region you are in. Check this list page for original Xbox games that you can play on your Xbox 360 console.
An internal official Xbox hard drive is required to play emulated Xbox games. You can not play Xbox games without a hard drive that doesn’t have enough space. For those with Xbox 360 S or E models that came only with 4GB of built-in hard drive space, you can easily upgrade with an internal official hard drive on Ebay for around $35-$40. These 360 internal drives are not as expensive as they were when it first came out.
Once you have enough hard drive space, start up your 360 and make sure you are logged into your Xbox Live account. Don’t know why you wouldn’t be but just in case you don’t use it, make sure you are sign up and is logged in. Xbox Live accounts are free to sign up. Your console will automatically download and install the necessary software to play your Xbox game. That’s it! Simple enough. The hard part is finding those classic Xbox 360 compatible games in the secondary market and not pay an arm and a leg for some retro gaming fun.
If you happen to have original Xbox games and want to play them on your Xbox 360, then you’re in luck! Games like Star Wars Battlefront II (2005 version) never gets old.
I recently got the idea to build a bartop arcade with a soft modded OG Xbox and grabbed a 15" flat screen Dell monitor only to find out that I will have some major issues trying to convert component to VGA. Does anyone have a particular model of flat screen LCD that they have used that will accept component from the original XBOX? Anything from 15" - 21" is fine but I"m looking to grab something under $100 if possible.
Just curious if anyone has ever tried hooking up a laptop LCD screen to an original XBOX for a bartop? A google search shows a youtube vid of someone using a controller board purchased of eBay in the UK to do this. I was wondering if anyone knows of an adapter that I can purchase in the US to do this?
find an LCD monitor or TV that supports Component (green, blue, red RCA) video. I don"t think s-video or composite are worth messing with after comparing them to Component.
Get one of the VGA output timer boards that converts from xbox to vga + jamma. I bough one of these for testing and will be throwing it on eBay soon.
With a frosty patch on your softmod + your xbox (1.0-1.5) set to allow 720p + a sync on green monitor, you are done. I have personally done this and it looks great.
Frosty makes a boot disc too. If you boot via this disk, you can try out the VGA mod for just that session. If you have a 1.0-1.5 xBox, I say make an order from monoprice and give it a try.
the xbox is a fairly decent rig for what it does. trying to tweak it so it outputs HD signals ends up with a whole other set of issues. Mainly the CPU just isn"t powerful enough to deal with 4x the pixels.
i have 4 soft modded xboxes...my most heavily modded rig that outputs HD has issues playing H.264 video...just too much data to deal with. and it freezes up within the first few seconds.

I gave up on xbmc4xbox for media when I moved to h.264 for my media but man I love the xbox + coinops for the "brain" of a cab and a jukebox. I have it down to ~10 second boot time to game selection with no flubber crap.
Degenatrons is a soft modder so he added a timed +5 power out to the KADE encoder. That gets hooked onto a inexpensive little relay that delays the powering on of the Monitor and speakers. That timing is adjustable in loader and could be used for skipping bios screens on PC rigs.
hey Sharp, i"ve got a softmodded xbox and i"m using the monoprice cable in your link with the MS hd pack with the frosty vga bios and i"m getting these faint vertical lines on across the entire screen. Any ideas on how i can fix that at all? Also wondering if you know of a do it yourself route for scanlines in coinops instead of purchasing a slg? Thanks
I"m a little late to the party, but I wanted to drop in and say that I took PBJ"s advice and found a Neoya X2VGA+ converter, and man, it"s awesome. Easiest solution for getting beautiful 720p out of this xbox. I recommend getting these if you can find "em. They truly are the tits.
I just started getting into the odd world of powering LCD monitors via VGA driven by an xBox 1 so anyone feel free to correct me. What I"m guessing is that your monitor does not support the standard resolution for 720p format which has a resolution of 1280�720. I assume the monitor is downscaling the output to 480p. You might get a better picture setting the xbox to output 480 only if the monitor is doing a bad job at downscaling. I did a test at 480 and I don"t have the waves but the image quality is ass compared to 720. The monitor looks to have s-video as well. That might be OK in a pinch but isn"t going to looks as nice as 720. Same with the even more ass composite that would be worth giving a try.
@sharpfork I keep finding Dell LCDs on Craigslist that appear to support SOG, but don"t list a display mode resolution of 1280 x 720 being available. I"m hesitant to buy one if it might not work. Do you have any experience using Dell LCDs with an Xbox? If so, are there specific models that you know work? If not, can you provide any other brands/models that you know work so I can keep my eyes open?
I"ve tried 5 or 6 older monitors, mostly Dells and Samsung and have never run into the problem with the resolution. showing correctly. I mostly pick up LCDs at goodwill for bartops for friends and family if they meet the following criteria:
I got rid of the flubber etc, by installing a 5v delay relay to the monitor and my amp. Then usining the external delay from KADE, i hooked up a small SPST relay to the converter. So basically whats happeing is i"m letting the xbox do its thing before sound and video is activated. Once everything fires the xbox is at the dash.....This is for softmodders though....hard modders can manipulate the bios....
This seems promising. And I could use this with any LCD (even one that doesn"t support SOG), right? If it doesn"t have to support SOG, then I could use a monitor that I already have.

I"ve been reading so many posts recently from you, sharpfork, and Degenatrons about your Xbox mods and KADE and I can"t wait to see how it works. I"ve been checking kadevice.com each day hoping for an update. I guess we"ll be hearing something soon? I"m hoping that I"ll be able to work on an Xbox-based bartop mid-to-late December. Do you think there"s any chance that 2 KADE devices will be available by then?

Although, let"s make sure we are on the same page. The DVD rom trick works on a softmodded only xbox. When you add frosty"s vga softmod then it doesn"t work anymore.
