Only 1 though, do you think this will be it so i have sound?

You will need to buy an adaptor for that then i'm sure itll work.

Maybe this is what you need? You just need to make sure you get one with the right size single pin for the monitor.

Link or maybe 1 of these. Link

They have lots of different adaptors there so you should find 1. I suspect itll be the 3.5mm jack link i added to my post that'll be the 1 you need.

Got the 360 cable for a 5er, 17.99 at play.com.

Are you sure its the right adaptor size? I thought small green hole on back of the monitor meant it uses a 3.5mm jack? and then this would fit it.

Just got these 2 cables today, wow, to say my 360 picture is clearer now is a damn understatement, for some reason i can't change the widescreen setting?
Just has me on wide-screen, but i put it at res 1680x1050 and everything is crystal clear, look's great.
But why can't i choose 1080i?
My monitor supports this but i think it is because i don't have an hdmi cable isn't it?

I'm not sure, but i can get 1080p on my Sony TV using the official VGA cable.

360 games look better in 720p.

Why would you want to run 1080i? In terms of quality, it actually has less resolution than 720p

I don't know, just thought it was better, anyway I'm very happy with how It's turned out allthough the screen has gone smaller for some reason?
Maybe It's the widescree which i can't change to normal for some reason?
Anyway....
I have another question this time about flashing the dvd drive....

I've been trying to repair my m8s 3 red ring error, it couldn't be done, well i couldn't anyway.
So i have his open now and his has already been flashed before.
On his dvd drive is says he has firmware ms25, which according to the guides is the easier 1 to flash.
So now as my m8 won't be using his I'm going to ask him if i can have his dvd drive and let him have my unflashed 1.
But on the outside of the dvd drivethe guy who flashed it left markings on the outside which say....
re-flash-s25 (or 525) -x53c????
what are these does any1 now?
Will it be best to re-flash the drive again with a different newer firmware?

Thanks Smile

That's a borderline question for this forum, you're better off looking at xbox-scene.com.

I have to disagree, I just upgraded to a 37" 1080p LCD TV and everything looks a lot better in 1080p

Borderline really, regardless of 1080p support, Most if not almost all of X360 games are native 720p or lower. Anything above 720p is upscaled from either a lower resolution (game dependant) or 720p if the game natively supports it.

slighty off topic, but can anyone tell me that , if I hook up a external dvd player via usb to a 360, will it work ? dvd is a samsung, with Upgradable firmware, SE-S204. + will it be able to read the Xbox disks ? If not then i can always get it flashed. it dont really matter what happens to it now. I supose i cud buy a new dvd drive for it but cant be arsed if my external will work

I was wondering this as we have a 360 in the cupboard just over a year old sitting there collecting dust, we have stopped using it due to it completly scratching disks galore, + we now have a new 360 elite.

Any ideas peeps?

Horace · 02-04-2009, 18:17

Keyholder, no, the DVD drives have to be specific models with specific firmware, it's an anti-piracy measure. Upgrading the firmware won't help the disk scratching problem either.
