RE: VGA > RGB cables. Hey thanks for asking. I'm currently busy getting Xbox frontends to work so might be a couple weeks before i get back in to the cable stuff, I'm gonna be making another up to take pics for the guide and then I'll have two so you can have one of them for whatever it cost me + postage. I've gotta figure out a few things with them first though (try and get pin 16 powered somehow) and from the few tests i've done it seems it's still gonna be a load of work messing with modelines and (de)interlacing settings to get it looking alright (may end up having to wait for a 0.21 myth release, however long that'll take). Anyway, just give it a few weeks and i'll be back in touch, or just leave me another message onmy talk page. --Pepsi max2k 19:36, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


Oh goody an xbox guru :oD.. in that case... do you happen to know if xebian (i guess 1.1.4 on a v1.2 connexant box) will work with a scart rgb cable, outputting propper RGBs signal? The only mentions of it I can find are telling me it's composite only, so it ain't looking good (if i wanted comp out i'd just use my pc :o( ). Anyway... as for the cable, they're not exactly gonna be the neatest things ever. I'm going for the nexus look: http://www.nexusuk.org/projects/vga2scart/ but will probably fall far short. infact my first one looks like someone tried to eat the vga shielding (probably because that's the one thing i *didnt* try doing with it...), got an audio cable taped to the side of it, and right now has no box at all for the scart end and my previous attempts at cutting plastic boxes to shaped haven't exactly gone amazingly well... so err... do you want me to try and box the scart in or could you do it yourself? And is a 3.5 audio jack good or would you prefer phono connections as i have a spare cable lying around?
