XBE patching is no longer required to correct the scrambled screen or boot failures from on 1.6 consoles when using Cerbios v2.4.0 or later. Video mode XBE patching in XBMC (ie. flicker filter) and other homebrew dashboards should be disabled to support this fix.

These problems and solutions are only applicable to version 1.6 and 1.6b Xboxes.

Version 1.6 and 1.6b Xboxes have an Xcalibur video encoder, which has trouble displaying some games in 480p. The games will either show a scrambled screen or fail to boot altogether. Installation of an alternate video encoder provides a blanket fix, but for an alternative software-based solution, some of these games can be patched using JCRocky5's Game Loaders script.

CerBios Fix

As of version v2.4.0 Cerbios now supports correcting the 1.6 Xbox 480p video mode problems. XBE patching is no longer required to correct the scrambled screen or boot failures from on 1.6 consoles when using Cerbios v2.4.0 or later. Video mode XBE patching in XBMC (ie. flicker filter) and other homebrew dashboards should be disabled to support this fix.
