help getting 360 to display on egret2

[sourdiesel]

ok ... i cant find any UVC's on ebay ... but i did run into this thing ...

would this work if i had the vga cable from 360 going into this taking the output from this and putting it into the jpac ....

I just checked ebay myself and couldn't find one listed. Did you contact the seller, Tims3484 to see if he has some left? I got it from him and I recently got mine running a couple weeks ago in 24k with Emphatic's helpful postings off Otaku and the image is beautiful. I would go for that UVC unit if I were you.

Ouch, it actually looks like he's all out of them. But do e-mail him, it's well worth it. But if you will settle for 15kHz, an Extron Emotia will be nice (true 240p), or viletims nice little adapter (640i).

Yeah, it would be this particular Ultracade convertor that got sold on April 1st, 2010.

yeah so would this thing work tho? its only 30 bucks ...

[PC Engine Fan X!]

Might as well take a chance on it since it's a mere $30 compared to ponying up $150 + S&H for the Ultracade one. I'd like to hear your comments on whether it works as described in the eBay listing (for the HK VGA to EGA convertor).

I would also suggest to try the cheap eBay offer. Looks promising and while the stated details are full of errors, CGA is among the output options and that would be true 240p. Let us know how it goes !!

i figured i would try, whats the worst that happens i lose 30 bucks, the best thing that could happen it would work and that would save me 120$. ...

IMHO this is the way to go: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28069

I just ordered a second one, it's great and very easy to use.

FYI, he is out of stock right now, but I heard from someone who just ordered one also that he will do a second batch soon.

But just to make this clear: viletim's adapter ist just a sync stripper / amp / adapter and won't change the resolution. In other words, if you connect a XBox360 through it, you won't get a proper low-res signal, but you have to settle with the 360's interlaced output. If that's what you want, then the adapter looks great, but it's simply a different approach, isn't it ?

[ckong]

..... but you have to settle with the 360's interlaced output.....

which looks great on an Egret 2

But it is indeed another approach.

This is what you want if you have a high res console (VGA). Otherwise, viletims is the one to get for RGB stuff. The 360 can't output 240p, only 640i using an RGB cable, so VGA is the superior solution. viletims adapter is more of a "plug and play" solution as well, as the UVCs off eBay doesn't come with a harness (you have to create one yourself).
