    480p @ 60Hz is a NTSC resolution. ;)

    And it's obviously not PAL-50 ONLY, otherwise it wouldn't display at 60Hz, now would it?

    yes, it would hl718 :) i ve caught you off your guard this time ;) Even stubbs the zombie, which is HALO 1 engine, and 50Hz ONLY in the PAL release , works like a charm ;)

    (This post marks my first knowledge-victory against hl718, i think I ll have a party :lol:)

    Will the suffering ever end at PAL-land?

    I was playing Shenmue2 on my XBOX 360 (PAL game on a PAL console) which thankfully supports 60hz. As such, I decided to plug my standard VGA cable.

    As I was excited and pissing my pants to rush into the Arcade store and play Outrun and Space Harrier, as Ryo sat in the cabinet, a familiar error popped up.

    What was that error you might ask?

    It was the damn 50hz message. I didn't even get a chance to save the game. Interrupted, and thrown out.

    I hate PAL with religious passion.

    I just noticed HALO PAL won't run over VGA because of the same issue. Do you have an address for cheap USA xbox 360's in europe? :)

    n-y-n there is a way around it.

    I ve been able to run conker and stubs the zombie (HALO 1 engine, meaning 50hz only in PAL release) , both of which are 50hz only.

    it involves getting a component-box->VGA (got one for 50USD).

    the results, as u see in my screenshot (previous page) are indistinguishable with the vga cable - although only recommended for XBOX 1 games, since it's 480p for u, unless you have a widescreen monitor.

    if u need the details on "how-to" (it's kind of tricky, nothing special though), just tell me:)

    why do people insist on running their 360 on weird ass resolutions? just do 1280x720... you solve lotst of things that way.

    Because it doesnt make sense to use a widescreen res on a non-widescreen monitor. Besides, that wont solve the 50/60hz mess.
