I just got NBA 2k3, and I am having trouble getting the 720p display to work on my MITSUBISHI 46" Widescreen TV. I have my xbox plugged into the "DTV" input, my dashboard for xbox has all resolutions and widescreen turned on. I am using the monster component cable for xbox. The DTV input says 1080i, 480p, and 480i. does this mean my TV will not be able to do 720p? anyone else have a mitsubishi TV out there? PLEASE HELP!

Patrick, I don't own a Mitsu but I'm pretty sure they don't pass a 720p signal. Most hdtv's won't display 720p natively. Most that do accept it will downconvert the signal to 480p.

Dave, thanks for keeping this going for everyone. Your hard work is appeciated.

How can a GameCube game have 5.1 sound? Are you referring to PL2? In that case, there's a few more games you should add, like Super Mario Sunshine and Eternal Darkness.

Oddly enough, the Super Monkey Ball 2 disc actually has the DD5.1 logo on it. However, the GC doesn't pass a digital audio signal, as far as I know.

The Thing for the Xbox is missing, here is the info on it

480p: No
16x9: Yes
DD5.1: Yes

A few more changes

Robotech for Xbox is in DD5.1
Transworld Surf is not 16x9 on Xbox or PS2

Thanks for keeping the list going Dave

I'd drop the 720p/1080i categories for Gamecube/PS-2 and 5.1 sound on Gamecube (and go with Pro-Logic 2).

Since neither the GC or PS-2 support those resolutions, no point in having in a Matrix

5.1 and 480p are sort of a given for Xbox titles. Yes, there are a couple games that have slipped through the cracks, but they are crap anyway.

I would nix one of those columns (maybe 5.1) and just put in the Xbox title (all games 5.1 DD sound). Then you'll have room room for:

Xbox Live! or Online: Yes/No

No, online play has nothing to do with a home theater related DD5.1/16:9 thread, but it will be good info to have on there when there are dozens of online Xbox titles next year around this time.

Yep. I'm throwing in 5.1 as a catch-all for DD5.1, DTS & DPLII. I left most of the Gamecube 5.1 section blank because frankly, I don't have a clue what GC games support 5.1 (No DPLII on my receiver ). If you have info for the other GC titles, I'd appreciate that as well.

I'm going to do a bit of organization on my end so that I can update faster, so tonight I'll have the new updates posted (+ more from the old thread). Hopefully I'll have the custom soundtracks and an online field added. Good suggestions!

Thanks from me too, Dave.

I'm sure everyone knows this already, but SOCOM for the PS2 is verified:

480p: Yes
16:9: Yes (seems to be based on console setup, not game option)
5.1: Sorta, see note...

My 2 cents on the DPL II issue: DPL and DPL II both take an analog stereo signal and separate it into surround channels. So, really any stereo signal is converted to surround if you have a DPL (1 or 2) receiver. Thus, I don't think DPL2 should count towards the 5.1 column -- instead, I think only true digital, discrete surround should count towards the 5.1 column. Maybe instead of yes/no, put DD, DDx.x, DTS, DTS/ES, DPL2, DPL, Stereo, or Mono in there. That said, SOCOM does have a DPL 2 logo on the label, but it's still just analog stereo.

With an "online" field, how should we handle titles like Halo that aren't officially online titles, but can be tricked with something like Gamespy?

There are games that "support" DPL2 in that when they are decoded, they would sound more like 5.1 than any regular non-supported game. I think the DPL2 games should at least have their own column, or just throw them under 5.1 to be uniform. it should not be thrown out, though, like you suggest.

I also am having problems with Xbox NBA 2K3 in 720p mode on my Pioneer Elite 610. When I enable 720p in the user menu and insert the game disc, I then hold the A, B, X, Y buttons down through the startup. I don't get any options asking me what resolution to use. When the game start menu loads, the screen is all messed up and it repeats horizontally. You can kinda see what's going on. If a HDTV can't upconvert a 720p signal then is 720p worthless? And don't most HDTV's have this constraint?
I guess I won't look forward to any more 720p games

Backing up Scott on this one:

Blinx The Time Sweeper

16:9: NO!
480p: Yes
5.1 sound: Yes
72op: No
1080I: No

After checking Blinx for awhile, you can notice stretching of the blinx character model and subtle stretching of the circles in the game GUI. Definitely not 16:9.

Totally inaccurate. Mits only has one rear projection set that accepts/unconverts a 720p signal, the WD-65000. It's a $10,000 DLP set. All HD set top boxes can accept and upconvert a 720p signal to 1080i and output it to your TV, but most analog RPTVs cannot accept a 720p signal directly.

There are a few that can, including some Sony's, and some more on the horizon.

720p is usually availble on LCD, DLP and plasma sets and high end front projection units, but at a cost upwards of $8,000 and higher.

So, the Xbox doesn't upconvert a 720p signal to 1080i? If so, then this is really lame. If all set top boxes can do this, then why wouldn't Microsoft enable the Xbox to do it?

Since most RP HDTV's don't accept 720p signals, and the Xbox won't upconvert those signals to 1080i, we are better off just leaving the Xbox connected to an extra 480p input rather than deal with switching and taking up valuable 1080i inputs.

I have a switch all ready to go, but to this date, all of my Xbox playing has been at 480p, so I've left it connected to an extra 480p input that's not being used..rather than trying to share the input with my HD receiver.

This is from the article at Anandtech

Quote:
The problem you run into next is that most HDTVs don't support 720p but instead support 1080i. This isn't as big of a problem since the conexant chip can scale the output to 1080i and most TVs even scale unsupported inputs to resolutions they do support.


Are they saying that the Xbox can upconvert 720p to 1080i?

They're implying that, yes, but so far people in this situation are not reporting that the Xbox actually upconverts. So, while it might technically have the capability, it's currently not being used.

If I'm not mistaken, the option to upconvert is software driven. Unless someone comes up with a hardware hack to have the Xbox upconvert all signals to 1080i, etc.

Where's that Gary King guy when you need him?

The Conexant chip is more than capable of upconverting any signal to 1080i, it just needs to be told to do so.

Here's a new one for the list:

Burnout 2 for PS2. I borrowed it from somebody this week, and it not only has a 16:9 option, it also supports 480p. Looks pretty darn good and I had a blast with it.

As with Tekken 4, you hold down the "X" and triangle buttons as the game is loading to get the option for progressive scan.
