    Halo on 360

    Hi all,

    I have a 360, the HDD and the updates.

    I want to play Halo.

    Everytime I load the game no matter what resolution has been chosen, the game gets to the white xbox logo and then I get the side menu saying this screen resolution is incompatiable with this game. Please go run and jump.

    Anyone had a similar problem. The official forums have nothing on it.

    Cheers

    Sean

    this could well be it. on the back of the 360, flip the switch on the video cable to "TV", and configure the non-HD settings. then flip it back

    Sorry should have mentioned, I use a TFT that's native @ PAL60.

    Looked all over the web and there seems to be nothing out there to help (for free).

    definitely a problem with your setup - works fine for me.

    have you done as i suggested - switched the 360 into non-hd mode, done a nonhd screen configuration, then switched back?

    I'm using the VGA cable as well.

    For AV it works fine, it's just the VGA cable it doesn't work with.

    I'll have another play, but I tried every resolution.

    i'd be surprised if halo doesn't support pal-60, so i suspect it's using the non-hd setting (which is pal-50 by default, unless you configure the xbox in non-hd mode)

    according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._with_Xbox_360 halo 1 doesn't support 60hz, so can't be played with the vga cable
