How can you hook up an XBOX (Gen1) to a PC monitor ?
« on: May 22, 2014, 01:53:28 pm »
Looking over in the projects thread I got inspired to dig out 1 of 6 "altered" Gen1 XBOX units I have in storage. I know I can use a KADE for the controls, but can I use a PC monitor ? If so how ?

I will confirm now, I've been lazy and not done much looking online.
Can one of these readily available RGB to VGA adapters via eBay do the trick ?

This is the only way to do it and have everything work in HD:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xbox-Original-NEOYA-X2VGA-Multi-Screen-Adapter-67242-/281343425813?pt=US_Video_Game_Controllers&hash=item41815ffd15

I wouldn't part with mine for less than $100.

 :cheers:

neoya adapter , mayflash yuv>vga , hd box or snowmans vga cable . all of em doin well with a vga pc monitor , no matter if its a crt or a tft-lcd .   

the neoya is not the only way , but the adapter works fine . 25 $ is a very reasonable price . they usually sell on ebay here around 30-50 eu .

Thank you guys.
HD is of no concern to me.
Something cheap and easy is more of what I'm looking for.

The extra dapater I have is like this (if not this exact.....I'm unsure).
I was hoping I could use something  like this.

its the cheaper pcb version of the hd box pro . yuv > rgb and by choice with or without scaling . as i explained , there are many ways to put out 31 k vga or higher . in case u need 15 k u may hack a scart cable with rgb output .

Thanks all.
Going to find the one I have in the basement and then look to order the HD XBOX wires.
