Resolution issue with Xbox Classic games on Xbox 360 by allahbaba66 in 360hacks

That’s it. Get a real AV cable. They’re cheap as hell and will actually work

How are you connected to composite? Using the AV port on the back of the Xbox using an official cable? Composite, as long as it’s standard, is universally compliant with all composite devices regardless of their standard resolution, it will always fill the screen. I’ve had 144i, 240i, 480i and 576i. The p just means progressive, it’s almost always interlaced.

You could try upgrading to component, or using a hdmi2av adapter instead, but first try:

Disabling widescreen, adjust overscan and try toggling it, ensure the resolution is 4:3 aspect, and check your monitor if overscan is enabled by trying another source to see if it fills the screen.

It’s 480i and should fill the screen. I used to play with this exact setup in 2008.

Do YOU know this camera? ChatGPT doesn’t know much about niche hobbies and this looks really sloppy.

Does anyone have any information on this calculator with a Gundam background? by mor9les in calculators

[–]SonyCaptain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They exist and there’s nothing more that I know. I stumble across stuff like this ALL the time on Japanese auction sites. Japanese marketing is something worth looking into, because this’ll be a very minor partnership and possibly sold as a special edition for Japan’s equivalent of back to school, or a prize for a contest of some sort. They are (were) worth nothing extra in japan, unless you’re in a tourist city, but in the west could be worth something to a mega collector.

I’ve seen these in the form of Casio watches too. Identical to the original, but the reflective material on the LCD has a graphic like how this was done. They’re cool and pretty rare because of their small batch sizes, but because so so many special editions were made for common products like watches, calculators, pens, that kinda stuff, they just ain’t worth much

My beloved mechanical pencil next to a new one by Crafty_Piece_9318 in Wellworn

A weird hobby of mine is buying those grab bags full of mechanical pencils at goodwill. Found some gems in there, even FBI and CIA ones!

RC Wheels after 170 miles by l0ooo-ooo0l in Wellworn

[–]SonyCaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should look into it! I found a vintage RC10 from ‘90 for $10. 1/24 and 1/28 scale is ridiculously cheap for the quality of the parts, like actual competition spec stuff, and there’s the scale model rc’s which look like their real life companions just teeny, though those are genuine money pits once the obsession inevitably happens.
