RCA or Xbox To VGA

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

You can build a homemade VGA cable but that requires a modified BIOS if I remember correctly. The proper way to do it is to buy a X2vga2 box which takes component in (i.e. high def xbox) and converts this to VGA.

I think however you need an LCD that does sync on green.

With the old x2vga (on Ebay), or the new x2vga (on they web) you can do that without any modification or modchip. they display up to 1080i

Please type in English. Not AIM. (Capitalization, write out words like "you" and "are", punctuation, etc...)

As far as I know, you need to buy a scan converter. Since computer monitors run at a different refresh rate than NTSC or PAL, you need a box to make the signal work properly. Check on Lik-Sang (sp?) for one.

Remember this will just make the regular composite signal work on a computer screen; you won't get VGA / RGB quality! :wink:
