Im having a stupid problem

Post by primevci »

I setup a xbox with xbmc i did this on a hidef tv i found one of my old 27inch trinitrons in my storage shed tried hooking it up to it with the component cables and when i boot up the Xbox the original Xbox load screen shows fine but when it loads into xbmc the picture get scrambled kinda like if you had the cables hooked up wrong but i know they are correct because the load screen looks fine.. i unchecked 1080i, 720p, and 480p and still have the same problem and help would be appreciated.

It can't be anything else, a PAL XBOX does not offer those resolutions.

Those are the correct set of options for an NTSC configured box with a component cable connected.
