Graphical Settings
Via the Dashboard
By default, the games will display in 480i (interlaced) resolution. But the Xbox was a powerfull
console, able to output in 480p, 720p and 1080i, in 4:3 or 16:9 ratios, depending on the game (see
https://en.everybodywiki.com/List_of_Xbox_games_with_alternate_display_modes for a list of
supported modes). The vast majority of games support at least 480p.
This has to be enabled via the Dashboard. If you didn't dump the original dashboard from your
console, you can use the NevolutionX dashboard:
Download the latest iso
Launch it
In Settings > Video, change:
Screen Ratio to Widescreen
480p to Yes
720p to Yes (may cause visual glitches depending on the game)
Leave 1080i to No as very few games support it and the interlacing can cause many
problems.
Then go back to the main menu and choose: Power off
16:9 (Widescreen) games
Many games supporting 16:9 ratio are using anamorphic widescreen. To display them correctly, you
should change the aspect ratio from Auto to 16×9 in the advanced options of the emulator. Note that
some elements may display strangely: OutRun 2 stretches the selection menus (coming from the
arcade version) but has a correct display while racing.
Access the internal HDD (containing save files)
The xbox hard disk image is saved here: /userdata/saves/xbox/xbox_hdd.qcow2 but in a
format that is not easy to access.
