Change Pal 2 Ntsc

[whitemic]

ok .... not sure how but when i boot my box now i get a black and white rolling screen, which, i am pretty sure means that my video setting have been changed to PAL.( correct me if i am wrong)


Could someone post some screeb shots of the x3 bios screen so i can count the key strokes i need to make this happen?? PLEASE

For the 1959 BIOS build, press [down] 4 times, [a] once, [down] once, [a] once, [down] once, [a] once, then restart xbox. It would be nice if Xecuter released a NTSC and a PAL version of the bios so that if you are NTSC and you reset the settings to default you don't have to look up the button sequence. Crazy europeans with their PAL TV's...

btw, use the search button next time.

Oye...less of the European bashing.... Infact, lot's of Europe do not use PAL. The French, for instance, use SECAM.

Anyway, PAL is far better for picture quality than NTSC.

So there!!!

Good advice though!!

how? i thought pal was lower resolution and its about the same framerate.

edit: nm, pal is higher resolution,
720 x 576=PAL
720 x 480=NTSC

NTSC also has problems with colours (NTSC = Never The Same Colour) ... at least on PAL, the colour you see is the same hue/shade/whatever that the show was filmed in.

Who cares - get HDTV and use components ... skip the NTSC thing and go straight digital to digital

Oh, so thats why you americans have poor quality picture on your tv's compared to us brits!

It is the way the picture is drawn... Basically, PAL (Phase Alternate Lines) was designed to correct the sync problems between picture refresh and the of the AC power supply (This prevents the rolling screen). The way it worked increased the badwidth and made for better picture quality.

Next week we shall learn how Cefax/Teletext information is stored within the picture build up..... Don't miss it..


YAWN!!!!
