framerate in games

eriksson · 2004-04-05, 13:29

i've noticed that the video sequences in games i play are out of sync, the audio seems to be too fast.

i only have one dash present on my xbox, xbmc.
i've tested with and without the "adjust framerate" option.
but this setting doesn't seem to affect once in game mode and if so this isn't a xbmc problem =)

but all the same, anybody got any ideas? i live in europe (pal) so perhaps i should stick to pal games =)

exacly, no setting (at all) in xbmc affects games or other xbe's so this has nothing to do with xbmc. moving to the xbox-general forum.

if you're playing ntsc games you should switch your xbox to ntsc for best results, otherwise the vid will play at 50hz while the audio plays at 60.

no, there is no such setting in xbmc or ms-dashboard. manual switch with enigmah-video-switch, or auto with evox, avalaunch & unleashx

hmm i have this problem....kinda.

the video and audio play back fine on some games, on otheres the audio stops (suggesting it runs faster). anyway i *have* auto on in evox and when i force ntsc the videos are monochrome when they playback.

suggestions? comments?

well simple answer: your tv don't support ntsc.

hmmm it is supposed to....but then if you knock it lightly the left stereo channel disappers or it doubles in volume. not the most reliable tv.

damn that's another thing i need to buy!

cheers for the reply
