Key Digital VGA Box - X-Blaster 4 Sale

I have a Key Digital VGA Box for sale. This VGA Box works with both Xbox and Gamecube. It will allow you to hook your Xbox or Gamecube to your PC monitor so that you can get HDTV modes such as 480p, 720p, 1080i modes on your PC screen without needing to fork out money for a HDTV. In order to run the VGA Box with Xbox you will need to have the Hi-Definition pack that comes with component cables. For gamecube you just need the component cables. The VGA Box also works with any progressive scan device so that you could hook a progressive scan DVD player to your PC monitor if you so wished.

I paid about $200 for it originally when I ordered it from America, though I'm going to sell it for much less. Will sell it for $80.

Yes, that is the one. Originally it was on sale for quite a few months. There may be a few people out there though that have the HD pack already and bought it during the period I did.

I should note too that in order to have your Xbox displayed HDTV modes, you have to switch it's mode to NTSC using the video mode selector program which is downloadable from xbox-scene.com. The program lets you switch back and forth between PAL and NTSC, though NTSC opens your Xbox to use HDTV modes as it's been crippled in PAL Xbox's.

So, if you have a mod, then you can use the video mode selector program. I have the dvd which has the program and will give that to you with the Key Digital VGA Box. Also, for $100 I will throw in the HD Pack. So $100 and you get the key digital vga box, the HD Pack and the disk containing the video mode selector.

I think the video mode determines output, not game type. So theoretically you can play a PAL game on to a NTSC monitor.

Can you play any old game at the higher resolutions?? I am pretty interested now that you are including the HiDef pack.
