Well, i'm stumped..
So, I always used my Xbox 360 to play on my downstairs TV via HDMI and upstairs on my PC monitor via a hdmi to dvi converter. Sometimes i also player on my older TV with scart and it always worked fine. Now, I took my Xbox over to my friend and connected it to his TV via HDMI. After coming home my Xbox doesnt work on any of my tv's anymore and my PC monitor just displays a black screen. My TV just stays at no signal, my PC monitor just stays black, and scart only outputs sound (although i think that cable is brokeb since I cut it open so the HDMI and scart could go together so i could get sound on my non speaker monitor). Now, I took the Xbox to another friend with the same cable and my Xbox over there works just fine. Also the friend where i player it originally also works fine over there after testing it with the same hdmi cable again. Now i tried everything at home, from resetting all my settings on the console with another tv, to putting on the lowest res, to start up the console without hdd, to start up while doing the controller combo to reset the display. Nothing worked... Do you guys know what is going on? Is my console just busted or is there something i need to reset? Thanks in advance guys!

Seems the 360's settings are just messed up.
You could boot your console with yer controller, then press Y and press the right trigger (hold them)
It should reboot with the video settings reset to their default.

Make sure you only use the HDMI cable to begin with.

Tried it with the AV cable?
Telly to factory settings?

Other then that, I wouldn't know either.

Hmm... I was just thinking of buying new AV cables, 'cause the one I have right now is broken I think (sound but no video), but that doesn't suprise me since I cut it. Well, I'm of to ordering then, thanks for your help! Still a weird issue though with HDMI...

Well, my cable just came in, I hooked up my ecksbawcks and BAM, it's working again :D
Thanks for your help man :)
Does the Xbox not have a reset thing like ps3 for settings?

Ie if you hold the power button while turning on it would reset the settings to whatever is plugged in eg for HDMI.

Glad you got sorted though :)

Yeah it features this thing were you hold Y and the right trigger, but that didn't work for me.
Also tried factory settings on my telly, but didn't work as well.
So I guess my old cables where just busted?

Did you not say you used HDMI before? Maybe it was just the settings like someone above said. You could change the settings to HDMI and then switch to the HDMI cable, once done you should be able to use HDMI again, hopefully anyway lol

Tried a new HDMI yet?
I haven't tried out HDMI out even on my TV.
Because I also heard some say connecting your HDMI after you have connected your scart will make it work again, but im not sure. Anyway, maybe ill try resetting my Xbox 360 after backing up my saves. But anyway, if HDMI doesnt work on my screen, im fine with scart.

    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
