[UFO_TooRaw]

hey bros , just got this box and want to hook it up to my pc monitor. is this possible? is there some adaptor or something?

A third party vga adaptor is coming soon.

[UFO_TooRaw]

Thats good man thx, do you know when it is slated to be on the market?

If you want your own VGA adapter got to this website :

http://www.xboxhacker.net/index.asp

and then click on GUIDES. You will see a link called VGA/XBOX adapter. It will explain to you how to make your own VGA adapter for the XBOX. The official VGA adapter has been cancelled for some reason .......... so if you really want to play your XBOX on your computer screen you should read the GUIDE.

I just use my S-video in thats built into my video card, works great

[UFO_TooRaw]

dude, tell me more about this. am i looking for the 3 jacks , same as a tv? what card do you have ? i am running a gforce 3 ti 200, does this have the s-video thing ?

[Frostberg]

S-Video looks like a PS/2 keyboard or mouse plug...remember that thing before USB took over? Thats what S-Video resembles...the 3 plugs are just old AV, but remember S-Video only does the picture, so make sure you got something for sound

i am using an asus v7700 deluxe

well i looked up that hack box stuff and man that seems like a helleva price to pay just to play xbox through my computer. i have a square plug with a ton of holes in it on the back of my vid card, not sure what it is . they must be working on some adaptor to hook up the monitor to the xbox. guess i will just wait till it comes out . in the meANTIME I AM LOVING THIS SYSTEM.!!!!

an adapter will come out but who wants to adapt to vga when svideo is such better quality

Won't the screen resolution be low if you hook the Xbox up to your PC monitor?

[Hugh_Jass]

If you run the XBOX through a video capture device in a PC then the resolution will likely suffer.

If you use a true VGA converter directly to your monitor then the resolution will be the same as what you'd see on an HDTV.

I have hooked up the xbox to a video capture card and ran it through Dscaler. The quality is nothing compared to going component to VGA. I would compare the quality to going to a standard tv with composite or even s-video. Very playable but you can do better.

But why would anyone want to hook up their Xbox to the PC monitor anyways?

[UFO_TooRaw]

I want to play xbox in the office space in my house not in my living room on the floor wwhere my tv is . still no word on the adaptor?
