    In today's video I test every North American Xbox game to see which actually run in 1080i and 720p, enjoy!
    Corrections and Clarifications
    007: Agent Under Fire has 480i for shooting sections and 480p during driving
    NCAA Football 2K3 outputs 720p during it’s frozen black screen
    Sega GT Online has 720p menus but 480p gameplay
    Star Wars: Republic Commando will only run in 480p with Widescreen disabled
    Street Hoops is true 720p but the aspect ratio is 4:3 instead of 16:9
    Syberia will output 1080i if 720p is disabled, however it is upscaled 480p and displayed at the wrong aspect ratio

    The original Xbox was released ahead of its time being the first game console to have High Definition display (720p and 1080i) and I bought the Xbox High Definition AV Pack for $10.00 at the Berryessa Flea Market in San Jose, CA back in 2016. And it looks outstanding on a HDTV (I own a few HDTVs).

    Holy shit dude, how much did that cost?

    • @implantgames
      @implantgames  Před 6 lety +19

      Around $3.5k cash plus $1.5k in trade. I imagine it might be closer to $6k today as finding $.99 Xbox games is tougher than it used to be.

  • @pokepress
    @pokepress Před 6 lety +49

    Is it possible there’s a game that checks these flags, but prioritizes them incorrectly? For example, it might support 720p and 480p, but runs in 480p if both are enabled?

    • @implantgames
      @implantgames  Před 6 lety +39

      Brilliant thought! I disabled 480p and gave Sonic Heroes, Eragon, Codename: Kids Next Door a try. Sadly none booted in 720p mode (only 480i) despite their packaging. I then gave Syberia a try, disabling everything but 1080i. Sure enough it booted up in 1080i! Sadly it suffers from Enter The Matrix syndrome, where it's upscaled 480p. Even worse it stretches the 4:3 art to 16:9 making it even more unappealing. Still, unexpected! Lastly, I fired up NCAA Football 2K3 with the 480p and 1080i flags disabled, only 720p enabled. Sadly it stayed stuck on the black screen. It makes me curious what (if any) other prioritization bugs their might be. Again, great thought!

  • @ShougHell
    @ShougHell Před 2 lety +3

    There are two games I wish you had noted: Panzer Dragoon Orta and Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions. Both support 480p on 1.0-1.5 models, but if the 480p flag is set on a 1.6 model console, they will output an unplayably scrambled 480p image, meaning you HAVE to either rip and patch your executable, or turn the 480p flag off and run them at 480i. I don't know of any other games with this issue, but those are the two that I definitively know suffer from it.

  • @skurasch
    @skurasch Před 2 lety +6

    Syberia is capable of running at 1080i. In order to do it you need to enable 1080i and disable 720p in the dashboard. If you have both enabled it will just default to 720p.

    THANK YOU! I have been absolutely fascinated with this lately as I didnt know anything about HD as a kid and didnt care as I was only 4 when Xbox launched and I played PS2 and gamecube mostly as a kid and this month and last month got components for both ps2 and xbox and just super fascinated I can run games in HD but now I know some of them are just a hoax lol but it is cool when it flickers to 480p/720p on a console I played in 480i with just standard RGB yellow white red and knew zero about for years 😂

  • @jaymzx2587
    @jaymzx2587 Před 6 lety

    Thanks for all your effort Kris. Great stuff! Without playing the Atari compilation and/or Dragons Lair, it seems best to keep your Xbox @720p. Since some games render the faux-1080i when this is option is selected from the dashboard. Forcing them into 720p is so much better.

    • @implantgames
      @implantgames  Před 6 lety

      More food for thought: as the Atari Anthology stuff doesn't really contain additional detail (outside of those cool borders) your probably better off leaving it at 720p as well to reduce input lag (most TVs can scale from 720p to 1080p or 4k with less than a frame of lag, verses de-interlacing 1080i which takes at least 1 frame of lag).

  • @Pai3000
    @Pai3000 Před 6 lety +1

  • @SkyScourgeGod
    @SkyScourgeGod Před 4 lety +1

    This is an incredible compilation my dude, I'm really impressed and even a bit jealous that you have a complete NTSC Xbox collection. Then again, maybe it's better that I don't have a complete collection as I just don't have room for it, lol. Even though 720p and 1080i is great I like to think of my Xbox as a mostly 480p console since, as you mentioned in your video, some games are just upscaled with no graphical improvement and even a dip in framerate. 1080i is also not too friendly with most modern flat screens since those TV's don't take kindly to interlaced content and will just deinterlace it. The process might add some graphical errors and even input lag as a result. It seems that 720p is a hit or miss output, some games look amazing with no drop in performance while others didn't get a true 720p treatment.To be fair 480p is still fine to use, HD flatscreens handle a progressive image pretty nicely.

  • @seep1658

      @implantgames  Před 6 lety +3

      I was really taken back by NBA Live '07, what a beautiful game! NBA Ballers and Mortal Kombat Armageddon also look next-gen with their super smooth frame rates and sharp textures.

  • @Lytane
    @Lytane Před 6 lety +3

    This was very interesting and something that I have never even thought of. I have never been particularly observant on resolution and fidelity and would never notice upscaled games but it's awesome that not only do you notice but you have started to set the record straight about it all.
    Also it seems like such a waste that ATARI Anthology of all games is in 1080i, they are Atari games!!

    • @implantgames
      @implantgames  Před 6 lety +2

      Haha, it is kind of a waste for the Atari Anthology to be 1080i ;) At least the menu screens look nice!

    • @Abel-Alvarez
      @Abel-Alvarez Před 5 lety +1

      lol if you think that was strange the PS2 supported a few games in 1080i and one of them was "Jackass: the game". I couldnt make that up even if i tried XD

    • @LeoA2600
      @LeoA2600 Před 4 lety

  • @ShougHell

    Would you be able to list all of the games that support 16:9 if you get the chance?

  • @zzzhuh
    @zzzhuh Před 5 lety +2

    I'm really surprised the developers didn't allow either Halo games to output in higher resolution since that was what EVERYONE was playing back then.
    I don't own an xbox, but the PS2 is also capable of upscaling. Games like Black (which should be the same on xbox) can output in 480P as well. PS2 has some weird ways of doing it tho...
    On Black, you hold X and Triangle after the playstation logo. Games like Gran Turismo 4 can output in 480P or 1080I as well which can be done in the settings menu, same with MK deception and Armageddon.
    It's cool that these 'old' consoles could output at such a high standard, when most people were still using old tube tv's.
    When you upscale, they look really good on a modern tv.

    • @DP12321

    I know that apparently 007: Everything or Nothing has this weird bug, but it's possible for 1080i to override 480p and make it 480i in driving sections. I can't confirm it for myself as I don't own it but this is what I've heard from a video focused on that game.

  • @FinalLuigi
    @FinalLuigi Před 5 lety +1

    What I find really odd is how the Xbox version of 25 to life features proper widescreen support with unstretched UI, while the PC version stretches the UI. I wonder why's that. It's also amusing how some games, like Hulk Ultimate Destruction, leave the UI in the middle of the screen as opposed to stretching or re-positioning them to the edges.

  • @bebobebo4407
    @bebobebo4407 Před rokem

    2:04 That same problem goes for lists of PS2 games with 480p support, for example, the PS2 version of Shadow the Hedgehog is listed as supporting 480p even though that game actually doesn't have it.

  • @casualintrovert207

      Absolutely. A 720p beta would be pretty rad!

  • @lactobacillusprime
    @lactobacillusprime Před 6 lety +2

    Excellent video. Sadly HD and component cables actually only works on NTSC systems. On a PAL system you really need to hack/chip it and switch the video output to NTSC. In PAL country we only got 578p I believe.

    • @Crlarl

    • @hybridvigga
      @hybridvigga Před 6 lety

      Carl's right, same on Gamecube as well. BUT for standard Def TV's BOTH output at full Pal 60 and didn't switch to NTSC 60 like Dreamcast and the handfull of PS2 games with a 60hz mode did, which is the best standard def output you can get if you can force RGB (sadly not possible with Gamecube, but works with X-Box.) Looks WAY better than NTSC outputting RGB at 480i.

  • @ArguingMeadows
    @ArguingMeadows Před 2 lety +1

      I'm honestly not sure how many exclusives there are in other territories.

Honestly the amount of variants and collectors editions is pretty nuts!

    I'd be interested to see how the 480i games run when forced into 480p just to see if there is some slowdown.

    • @skurasch
      @skurasch Před 2 lety

      There's a bunch of patches that force 480i games to run in 480p and 720p. 480p generally doesn't matter but 720 can really hurt framerate. If you mod your Xbox to have more ram there's actually a lot of games which are playable at 720p proving it wasn't a power issue just a ram issue. Also, the only reason most games ran at 480i was because they were ps2 ports and developers figured it was a waste of effort since nearly everyone in that era was gaming on a CRT.

  • @DatGameCollector
    @DatGameCollector Před 6 lety +4

    I appreciate this list very much. I'm currently producing my own list on my channel. The original xbox has 264 north american console exclusives how ever as i'm sure you're aware only around 100 say it on the box. Check it out if you get some time kris.
    Aside from you and I. I'm starting to think no one thinks the original Xbox is fun too collect for. But to me I think it one of the last systems that is truly fun to collect for.

    • @implantgames
      @implantgames  Před 6 lety +1

      Will do! From what I can tell on FaceBook groups there is a pretty healthy Xbox collecting scene, with many working on their full sets. A few Xbox collections put mine to shame haha :) I would agree its a great system to collect for. I completed my set over a 1 year period from June of 2016 to June 2017 and I found hundreds of games for $.99 or less. I do believe things are starting to get a little more pricey at this point (I paid $70 for OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast, it's much more now) as the folks with the most childhood nostalgia for the Xbox (and PS2/GCN) are starting to hit the workforce and have disposable income.

    • @DatGameCollector
      @DatGameCollector Před 6 lety +2

      implantgames oh really what could be better than your full set? I'm tempted to just got for it my self. I have all the rares.
      I've been collecting of xbox basically since it died out in 05 I'm around 400 games. All mint CIB. I'm an anal collector haha. But when I was young I thought all the exclusives were awesome so set out on a journey to figure out each one.
      The only rare xbox game I'm missing is futurama. I got my out run coast to coast for 74 $ so not too bad. My best find by far was steel battalion new for 250$ christmas of 2016. Its the holy trail in my collection.
      I really think the xbox is a special console that deserves more love. That's why I focus on it so hard on my channel.

  • @ShogunGin0

    Wish I had your 480i only list a few months ago. It was around that time that I learned that the useful forced progressive scan trick, where you click down the analog sticks while holding down the shoulder buttons, doesn't work on everything. I was pissed when it didn't work on Ultimate Spider-man and XGRA. Guess I'll try the Gamecube copies of each and use my SD card launcher with Swiss...

    • @implantgames
      @implantgames  Před 6 lety

      I've been told about the forced progressive scan trick but I have never able to get it to work. Which games did you find success with?

    • @ShogunGin0
      @ShogunGin0 Před 6 lety

      Oh, I had it work with several games that aren't listed as having native 480p support on either the box or on any list. Star Wars Republic Commando, Indiana Jones and Emperor's Tomb, Crimson Sea, Lord of the Rings The Third Age, Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat, Medal of Honor Frontline, XIII, etc.. You have to do the input at the Xbox dashboard, not while in the middle of any game. You should seen the screen do the blinking to black a few times as you seen in 6th gen games activating progressive scan.
      Since Ultimate Spiderman and XGRA are the two games that I've tried that don't work with this trick, I'm wondering if it has to with the encoding of the first prerendered video that plays. It may just be hardcoded to run in 480i and, once it does, progressive scan can't be achieved again during gameplay without some type of hacking.

    • @implantgames
      @implantgames  Před 6 lety

      I'm starting to think this trick is a myth. All of those games run in progressive scan without doing the trick.

    • @ShogunGin0
      @ShogunGin0 Před 6 lety +1

      I did some retesting to see if that was the case, and I'm getting some results I didn't anticipate.
      Star Wars Republic Commando was dropping progressive scan right after the very first splash logo card. I knew this couldn't be right, because I distinctly remember this was the first game I tested this trick on, and it stayed 480p everywhere in game. Upon trying a few variables, it seems that by setting the Xbox screen mode to widescreen may have caused it to fail to keep 480p, since setting it back to fullscreen, and loading the game again with the trick enabled did indeed maintain 480p all the way through, just as I did 2 years ago when I learned about this.
      It's possible that this may also affect Ultimate Spiderman and XGRA. I've kept the Xbox set to widescreen all the time since quite a few games use it, and just change the TV mode depending on if the game does or doesn't have a widescreen option. If it is that the aspect ratio setting may have some effect on how some games boot into 480p, then I'm going to have to try some more tests. I no longer have those games, since I traded them off when I found I couldn't get 480p out of them, so maybe I should try getting them again to test. Or maybe you could test the trick with the system set to fullscreen when trying those games since you have all the games :P
      Though, with the trick turned off, and the settings put to fullscreen, the game did boot in 480p when loaded. I truly don't remember that being the case two years ago. It was not the first Xbox game I had when I first got my system and games for it, and after I got my component cables, I remember every game was 480p compatible. Republic Commando was the first one I got that didn't go 480p when used normally, without the trick. I must have had the system set to widescreen, and had used the trick with it set to fullscreen, which seems to have tricked me into thinking the trick worked.
      Even so, the ratio setting may be throwing off other games. When you tried Medal of Honor Frontline, did your game keep switching back to 480i during the loading screens? Mine did.

    • @implantgames
      @implantgames  Před 6 lety

      Disabling widescreen definitely allows Star Wars Republic Commando to run in progressive instead of interlaced (updated the corrections and clarifications), however this doesn't require the trigger/thumbstick trick to work. It's odd to me this game will run in 480p with the widescreen flag disabled, but 480i with widescreen enabled. Curiously there are a couple of Dreamcast games that exhibit this same behavior, only allowing widescreen in interlaced mode (such as Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2).
      Do you have a modded Xbox? Perhaps there is something with a modchip or alternate dashboard where this button combo is coming from.

    My Xbox has very blury video out even compared to PS2 in 480i and I did research into it and apparently different Xboxs have different video encoders and the early ones create a bad RGB output coupled with the flicker filter make the output very blury. But I also found out that some games will work 480p only on the older Xboxs and so I wonder if that has anything to do with the unclear list about 720p and if it's different depending on the Xbox.

    Why did they remove this for PAL regions? The gamecube did the same, and the ps2 has a very limited selection of 480p only...

    • @hybridvigga
      @hybridvigga Před 6 lety

      With PS2 it was mostly because the majority of the games didn't have a 60hz mode for PAL, and you'll notice all the 480p games do (I owned 200+ PS2 exclusives on PAL, all my multi-plats that gen were on X-Box or Gamecube for the better graphics, 60hz and widescreen modes, and only about 30 or 40 of those 200+ have 60hz modes, and very few multi-plats do, dumped lots of them while they were still worth money and upgraded them to the PS3 remasters, Ratchet and Clanks, Jak & Dexters. DMC and Ico/Colossus etc but still got over 150 left.)
      And with the Gamecube it was something they did with the video signal on purpose to stop imports (a PAL GC can NOT output RGB, you could force the PAL N64 but the same tricks, using a forced RGB input on your TV, or a scart selector box with something else RGB powered on in an unselected scart slot, only outputs a black screen with sound on the GC, and they used the same TV leads.) So I think it was connected to that, but with a modded Wii you can use a Gamecube launcher to run them all in 480p off the actual physical discs.
      With X-Box I have no idea, because a modded one can force 480p and higher, so the higher texture files for 720p and 1080i are still on the discs, and its all in 60hz to begin with.
