OG Xbox with RetroTink 2x Scart

[Restart_Point]

Hi I have a soft modded UK OG XBOX, genuine Microsoft XOB-25275 "Advanced Scart Cable" and a RetroTink 2x-SCART
I have set the XBOX to use 480p NTSC in the soft mods options but using the above I am still getting a somewhat fuzzy / flickering picture which looks like the RetroTink is only processing (or passing-through?) 480i.

Is there anything I can do to get a crisp picture on my flat panel without buying more stuff? Thanks

I am not sure how the soft mods work, but IIRC, the OG Xbox can't output 480p over RGB SCART. If the soft mods can overcome that, then I guess ignore me, but otherwise you'd normally have to use component.

Firstly, 480p is going to be either component or RGsB.

Secondly does the 2xSCART even have a passthrough mode or support RGsB for that matter?

The 2x-SCART certainly supports RGB from my Mega Drive and other consoles using RGC's pack-a-punch cables, is RG"s"B a different thing? I don't know if it has a passthrough mode, it doesn't mention on the website.

I have a feeling that thebigcheese is right in saying that I must get a component cable and there's no way to get 480p via RGB Scart.

I cant think of a console that outputs 480p over the composite sync line. Its too dangerous on the receiving equipment. during 480p modes composite will be disabled.

480p RGB or higher can be achieved on OG XBOX with a custom VGA bios and internal mod on the HV sync lines, then combining them.

There is no Csync.

OK thanks people, this answers everything! Gotta get new stuff. I hope to be getting a RetroTink 5x in the next batch so along with a component cable I think that will sort my XBOX out.
