Venom VGA box

[erhgiez]

I have an old vemon vga box from about 02, it supports xbox/ps2/gamecube and also component inputs. Does anyone know if these old ones support HD as im thinking of getting a 360 shortly and it would be nice to play it in HD without having to buy a new TV.

Ive done a search for for it but cant find which model it is, I have found the new version which has a big X on it, mine does not have this. If it helps I bought it from CEX.

Not sure mate but there's a 360 vga lead available that you could always use if it didn't. Probably give you a better picture too.

Ive just hooked my PS2 up through it and its playing US games in black and white, soooo annoying anyone know what I have to change to get this to colour, my monitor is refreshing at 60hz but I cant force it to do 50hz grrrr I'm thinking this would fix the problem?

It's not a 50Hz/60Hz issue. That normally manifests itself as a rolling image/no image (if a VGA box can't deal with 60Hz). It seems that the VGA box is fine with 60Hz (which is what US games will run at) but has problems with the NTSC colour input. The box is probably fine with PAL 60, but not NTSC... Not much you can do about that unless you can use an RGB scart input, or perhaps the component inputs if it has any.

I remember I have a Playstation pal convertor somewhere, would that work?

If you plug it in between the console and VGA box, then that should work. Not the cleanest signal path, but it should do the job!

Yeah I figured that but our tv broke so out of the kindness of my heart moved my tv downstairs so others can watch it, so I just want to play games in my room. Theres always somebody watching TV!!!
