I don't think Xbox had 1080p support? That would be somewhat annoying to be limited by.

- NegativeLatency 11mo ago1080i though
- jsheard 11mo agoIt could output analogue 720p and 1080i for sure, but the CPU had a hard time keeping up with HD video decoding. It was only a 733mhz Pentium 3 after all. Although to go on a tangent, it turned out that you could swap the soldered BGA processor for a socketed 1.4ghz Pentium meant for a desktop PC, using an incredibly cursed interposer setup to redirect the CPU pins to the right BGA pads, and it somehow actually worked.
- TapamN 11mo agoWow, you're not kidding saying that it's cursed. I thought it would adapt a socket to the BGA pads, but it looks like the pins of the replacement CPU just sit naked on the interposer. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=95704 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=95704

- jsheard 11mo agoI think Pentium 3 sockets were through-hole, so to use one they would have had to fit two different footprints on the bottom side of the interposer without any overlap. It might not have been physically possible.

- ssl-3 11mo agoWhat problems are these widgets supposed to solve? With such a widget: The video is still at most 720p or 1080i (because scaling, like cake, is a lie), it still originates as an analog signal (that's all the OG Xbox can provide), and the machine is still broadly incapable of playing high-definition video (it's too slow).
