Softmodded xbox(original) on CRT !?

    Guys. I bought a softmodded crystal xbox with xbmc. It boots straight to xbmc and runs perfect on my lcd tv with component cables. I kinda wanted to have it under the CRT along with the retro consoles but when I plug it into that TV (and the LCD scart) using a scart cable I get sound but black screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this ?

    How many SCARTs are on the back? Try another one if possible? The one you have the Xbox plugged into may not support RGB video.

    Thanks. I got it to display on the lcd tv on a different scart but it doesn't display on any input on the crt. The non modded xbox DOES display and runs fine on the crt though !?

    Are there any advanced display options you can look at as part of the softmod?

    I had a look through the settings and all i could set was auto/normal/wide I think.

    Sounds like your crt tv may not support RGB scart...do you have any other consoles that output RGB to test it with?

    could the person before you have set it to output ntsc video signal most lcd can support both signals but older tv's sometimes only support pal

    Possible but how would I change it back ?

    **I got another xbox scart cable that actually does work. I don;t know why but with this scart cable I get a picture on the crt !?

    look up hemidall's xbox enginering disc "hexen" it makes everything xbox related super easy. you just boot it up in the xbox it gives options for switching output (ntsc,pal,vga) a lot of people switch their xbox to ntc for the 720p or 1080i hd option. I can't recommend the hexen disc enough i've went through loads of xbox's and that disc saved me so many times fixes loads of things on softmodded, tsopped, chipped xbox's
