I just got my xbox modded and having a great time.

When I deal with my ps2, I take special care to make sure the games are ntsc since the ntsc -> pal patchers and visa versa are usually semi-decent

I was wondering if the xbox handles this better and if it is someting a particular dashboard can take care of (on the fly patching) or if I have to patch the actual game before burning (I just back them up on dvd-r instead of doing the hard drive loading method)


Question in short

Can a xbox dashboard automatically covert a pal game to display correctly on a ntsc tv set, or does the game have to be patched?

Ah I thought they would be automatically converted. I'll hit one up at xbscene too.

Thanks

If you've soft-modded your XboX, then it will ignore region codes altogether.

Pal and NTSC work fine on any soft-mod system, however try to stay away from multi-regional/multi-language images, as they seem to be the buggiest of all.

I have an Xecuter 2.6 chip in mine and I can play pretty much all NTSC games on my machine...
Only ever had a problem with two games thats The Warriors and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe.
