The original Xbox only offered analog outputs, but can display high definition resolutions.  As long as you use the correct cable, you can get excellent performance from basic plug-and-play solutions.  Here’s a video that explains the basics, with a full written description below:

If your goal is to connect your original Xbox to any HDMI target, there’s a few choices available that are essentially a component video cable with an analog to digital converter built right in.  They vary greatly in quality though, so make sure you’re careful with your choice:

The best one we’ve tested so far is a solution from Chimeric Systems that’s designed specifically for the Xbox’s signals.  It’s fairly priced, performs better than all the others we tested and integrates digital audio into HDMI:  https://chimericsystems.com/products/hdmi-video-adapter

If you can handle a complicated internal modification – Or, if the Xbox is one of you favorite consoles and you want the best possible signal output, check out the XboxHD+”  An internal, digital-to-digital HDMI mod from the company MakeMHz.  The latest version (or original version with the latest firmware update) can upscale games to higher resolutions and since it’s a 100% digital mod, you won’t have any analog noise at all.  The difference between this and a quality solution like the Chimeric isn’t huge, but on a large TV, you’ll probably notice the lack of any analog noise at all.  More info in the video below and purchase yours here:  https://retrorgb.link/xboxhd

Xbox Component Video HD PackMicrosoft released an “HD Pack” that allowed every resolution the Xbox supports, as well as SPDIF digital audio.  Combining this with high quality component video cables will get you an excellent signal:

Other companies manufactured component video cables for the original Xbox, but the quality varied greatly!  Some like the Monster Cables were known to be well shielded and provided a good signal, but most were unshielded, poor solutions.  Also, all of the new options available we’ve tested showed both audio and video interference.  Until we find a manufacturer that’s consistently selling high quality cables, I can only recommend either buying a used Monster cable, or just buying a cheap one and hoping for the best:

If you already own a high quality component video solution, or you’d like the option to use your Xbox on both analog and digital displays, using a simple ADC (analog to digital converter) is a great option.  As long as you use an ADC that doesn’t scale, this should be an inexpensive, zero lag solution that’s compatible with all the resolutions the Xbox outputs.

Alternatively, the Open Source Scan Converter (OSSC) will accept all resolutions from the Xbox and convert them to HDMI.  First, it has an automatic low-pass filter that’ll clean up some analog noise from all resolutions.  Next, it’ll deinterlace 480i to a zero lag 480p signal, pass through 720p and either passthrough or double 480p – Please note that not all displays will be compatible with the doubled 960p signal

Expert users might find these links to be really useful, however (respectfully), if you’re just starting out with Xbox gaming, this might be more confusing than anything else.  Here’s some advanced options for power users:

RGC sells a component video cable for the Xbox that has a SCART head on the end, instead of RCA cables.  The purpose of this cable is for people with very specific setups that can pass YPbPr through a SCART connector;  Remember that the video signal itself is what matters, not the connector on the end.  One example of a setup this might be a good fit for, is someone with a 2019 (or later) gscartsw, which is being sent to an OSSC or 480p-capable PVM/BVM.  You’d still have to change the input on your target device from RGB to YPbPr, as this cable does not convert the signal to RGB.

Composite and S-Video cables will only output 480i on all consoles.  The fact that this is a low-resolution, interlaced signal means it’s a poor choice for a console like the Xbox that outputs high resolution games.

An unmodified Xbox will also only output 480i via SCART, making it a poor cable choice for this console.  In almost all cases, it’ll be better to play your Xbox on a TV that supports at least 480p and even people with high quality 15KHz RGB monitors will only get a low-quality 480i signal with a stock Xbox.

All original Xbox games will run in 480i if needed, but almost every one supports a progressive scan, high quality resolution.  Also, some games even support true “HD” resolutions!

Almost the entire Xbox library of games can run at 480p, with only around 20 Xbox games that are 480i only.  It’s possible for those 20 be forced to 480p with custom firmware, but not on unmodified consoles.

Around 400 games support true 16:9 widescreen format (not stretched), across multiple resolutions.  Some games boot in 4:3, then switch to 16:9 during gameplay and others are always 16:9.

Less than 10 games support 1080i resolution, however I do not recommend using this mode:  The “i” in 1080i stands for interlaced signals, which don’t work well with modern flat-screen TV’s.  Most TV’s add a lot of lag to interlaced signals and some look very flickery…or both.  Each 1080i-compatible game also has a 720p mode and unless you’re experimenting with 1080i on a CRT (for the rare few that are compatible), just use the progressive-scan 720p mode.

The Xbox controller is the primary game controller for Microsoft"s Xbox home video game console and was introduced at the Game Developers Conference in 2000. The first-generation Xbox controller (nicknamed "The Duke") was the first controller bundled with Xbox systems for all territories except Japan. A smaller and redesigned variant, called "Controller S", was sold and bundled with the console in Japan. It was later released in other territories and by the end of 2003 had replaced the first-generation controller worldwide. The larger original controller remained available as an optional accessory.

The Xbox controller features dual vibration motors and a layout similar to the contemporary GameCube controller: two analog triggers, two analog sticks (both are also digitally clickable buttons), a digital directional pad, a Back button, a Start button, two accessory slots and six 8-bit analog action buttons (A/Green, B/Red, X/Blue, Y/Yellow, and Black and White buttons).J Allard and Cam Ferrari aimed for a controller with every feature the team liked from preceding ones: slots from the Dreamcast controller, two sticks from the PlayStation"s original DualShock and six frontal buttons from the revised Sega Genesis controller.

Duke and original Japanese Controller S controllers made in Malaysia featured a dark green cable. When the Controller S was released in the West, early models featured the green cable, however later Controller S models switched to a black cable and were made in China.

Seamus Blackley was a video game developer for Xbox and helped design an early prototype controller. The first-generation Xbox controller, originally nicknamed the "Fatty"

Over fifteen years later Seamus Blackley contacted Phil Spencer, the head of the Xbox division, and pitched an idea to revive the old controller, following a series of joking posts through social media that showed strong consumer desire for the controller. Spencer gave Blackley the rights to the Duke controller.Xbox One, as well as an OLED screen that displays the original Xbox boot sequence when turned on.Hyperkin.

An 8 MB removable solid state memory card can be plugged into the controller in a manner similar to that of the Dreamcast"s Visual Memory Unit. Game saves can either be copied from the hard drive when in the Xbox dashboard"s memory manager or saved during a game whenever the memory card is inserted. Most Xbox game saves can be copied to the memory unit and moved to another console but some Xbox saves are digitally signed; each console has a unique signing key, and some games (e.g.

While Xbox has done a great job at preserving the legacy of these games via its backwards compatibility program, I am still finding myself on a Friday night playing the original Xbox and many of the titles that are not available to play on their newer hardware.

I have, for the most part, used aftermarket cables (typically cheapocomponent videocables from eBay) to allow me to play these games on the original console hardware but with modern TVs.

A few years ago I bit the bullet and purchased an Xbox cable for around AUD$50 from a company called Pound. about this, I hooked the original Xbox up to my 4K 55in TV in my gaming room only to be slightly disappointed with the overall image clarity.

This is partly due to the old Xbox supporting 480p, 720p and in a few instances, 1080i resolution – the graphics just weren’t meant to be displayed on such a big screen.

I then moved the setup to my smaller, retro friendly 42in LCD; this made the image look a bit cleaner but still had an overall blur. It was the best I could do, until now.

Late last year a Turkish company namedBeharbroswere releasing a new handmade Xbox HDMI cable named ‘Xedusa’ which they promised would output the best available quality possible a modern TV from the 2001-era Xbox console.

I still use this on my Dreamcast to this day, so with all the confidence in the world I reached out to the company and enquired about getting the new Xedusa for my original Xbox to put through its paces.

When I connected it up to my 42in LCD I could notice the difference right away. Now, just a heads- up: The Xedusa won’t make the game’s image or resolution better then they originally were. It simply cleans up the original image removing much of the noise and will sharpen a lot of the edges. Compared to backwards compatible games on the Xbox One and Series X/S consoles, the graphics won’t be upscaled to 4K resolution; it will just be an overall ‘cleaner’ image.

The colours looked a lot more vibrant and the image was a lot smoother then the last time I had attempted to use an HDMI adapter on this larger screen. I was in pure retro gaming heaven.

Not only does the Xedusa offer HDMI, but it also has a component adapter so those purists who prefer to use old CRT televisions (which are hard to come by in good working order) still have the option to play this way instead of forking out hundreds of dollars for original Xbox component cables.

Now I’m able to enjoy the original Xbox gaming titles on my big TV, there is no way that I can go back to the way I used to play them on a smaller screen.

If you’re a huge retro gamer such as myself, this is possibly the best way to enjoy games currently not offered up as part of the Xbox backwards compatibility program Xbox (provided you have original era hardware to play it on).

Asus has unveiled the Raikiri Pro, an Xbox-licensed controller with an OLED display, though there is not yet a release date or price. The peripheral arrives shortly after Microsoft patented a controller with an LCD display, which would likely serve a similar purpose as the one on the Asus device. But until and unless Microsoft releases its own take on the controller-con-display for consumers, gamers will at least have a couple other options.

People have been creating custom game controllers for decades now, which has been facilitated by Microsoft’s Xbox Design Lab. Some of these fan-made controllers include displays, but the most well known might be Hyperkin’s Xbox Duke controller that came out in 2018, whose giant circular logo served as a perfect location for an animated display. Until now, however, other manufacturers haven’t really jumped on the controller display bandwagon.

CES 2023 officially started on January 5, but companies began revealing their new products and technologies a few days before that. Asus unveiled the ROG Raikiri Pro, a controller with a 1.3-inch OLED display that has been officially licensed by Xbox primarily for use on PC. The tiny display has a resolution of 128 x 40, and its purpose is principally to check battery or mic status, pair via Bluetooth, and swap gaming profiles. But the screen can also be set to show custom animations, wallpapers, or text.

One perk of the Raikiri Pro is that it has three connectivity modes: 2.4GHz RF, Bluetooth 5.0, and wired USB-C. While the Asus website seems to be mainly touting the controller as a PC peripheral, it also mentions that it will work on next-gen Xbox consoles. Unfortunately, this likely means it will be compatible only with the Xbox Series X/S and not the Xbox One, which has USB 3.0 ports, and the marketing blurb clarifies that the Raikiri Pro will work on console via the wired USB-C connection.

The price of the Raikiri Pro Xbox controller has not yet been revealed, but it’s likely that it won’t be easily affordable for some. It comes with a number of features of more pricey peripherals like the Xbox Elite Series 2 or PlayStation’s DualSense Edge controller, which cost $179.99 and $199.99 respectively.

“The Duke” will return to enact its revenge upon all of us. Microsoft has approved Hyperkin’s updated remake of the original Xbox controller, and it is rolling into the next phase of production before the device launches for Xbox One and PC. Seamus Blackley, one of the people responsible for starting the Xbox division at Microsoft, is helping peripheral manufacturer Hyperkin bring back the Duke, and he announced that it is moving forward on social media.

Microsoft first debuted the Duke, which was never its official name, alongside the Xbox in 2001. The gamepad earned its nickname due to its massive size, and people seemed to originally use the “duke” name sarcastically as a criticism of its design. Microsoft would go on to launch the smaller Japanese controller as the S version in United States. That ended up replacing the Duke, and Microsoft never went back to the old design … until now. Microsoft introduced backward compatibility with certain original Xbox game on its Xbox One platform, and the company confirmed the Duke is fully compatible with those emulated titles.

Blackley went on to say that the new Duke will include “many improvements” while maintaining “the same old feel.” One of the obvious improvements is the round LCD screen in the center of the controller. The old Xbox pad had a giant system logo in the middle, but Blackley insisted that Hyperkin add a small panel that could display animations and information.

I saw a prototype of the Duke at E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show in Los Angeles) in June, and it looks identical to the original outside of the new display. Even the odd white and black buttons, which add a fifth and six face input, are here. Hopefully now that the controller is moving into productions we can go hands-on soon and give a full report on our impressions.

Unfortunately I sold the Xbox and have no pictures of the wiring on the back. I just wired it up to the spec of the PDF suitable for the HD44780 spec even though the OLED doesn"t say it"s supports it, I just set it to the same bit spec.

I"ve noticed others using just SDi like the diagram you posted don"t seem to display the xenium os correctly at start. I went with the original HD44780 spec which avoided those issues.
