OK, here's the deal.
I've just spent all day surfing google and xbox forums for an answer to a simple question: How do I enable all the screen resolution and audio modes in my Xbox?

I recently aquired said xbox on Ebay. It came pre-modded with an Executer 2.6ce chip. I have since bought an advanced AV cable to try and connect it up to our projector using the component leads.. but all I get is a crappy black and white picture. (note the projector works fine on our DVD player component outputs).

So.. all you Xbox genius's and computer geeks.. what am I doing wrong?

System spec.:
Original Xbox - UK PAL version
Executer 2.6ce chip
Advanced AV lead
Avalaunch dashboard & original Xbox dashboards available
XBMC installed
Config Magic beta 2.0 installed

* I've already installed & run config magic beta 2.0 & switched the default video standard from PAL region 4 to NTSC region 1.
* I cannot access the advanced / HD Video settings in Avalaunch. If I unlock or lock the HD with config magic I get "all writing to Eprom disabled, cannot proceed"
*If I try to unlock the HD with the Avalaunch HD tool it says something like "cannot unlock the HD unless it has been unlocked once for extra security"

So, finally, with my current set-up and configuration, EXACTLY what do I need to do to get control over all the possible sound and video options of my Xbox?? And if I need to download more software, please give me a link as to where on the WWW it's hiding.

Many thanks in adavance.
Totally fed-up, Scotland.

Try booting with the chip off and changing the settings there. There is a setting in Avalaunch that will allow you to write to the EEPROM, but I can't remember where it is off the top of my head.

Just use your MSDash however you have it setup. For some reason the secondary dashes just don't have the authority to write to the eeprom. Real pain in the ass if you ask me.

Fantmx is right, there is a setting in Avalaunch, but like we both stated, it's just real easy to set it under MSDash, however you access it.
