A Good Plug-N-Play HDMI for Original Xbox for only $42??

It seems like getting HDMI outputs from retro consoles is all the rage these days. You have cables, adapters, upscalers, and more all working to get you to that HDMI connection. For the Original Xbox, there are a few very good options out there, but some of the best require mods of the system, they are expensive, or they take forever to get. That's why the Electron Shepherd Xbox2HDMI adapter really piqued my interest. It promises to be A Good Plug-N-Play HDMI solution for Original Xbox, and it only costs $42.

The overall design is pretty simple, and if anything, it reminds me of the Carby or Prism HDMI adapters for the Gamecube. It's a basic dongle which plugs into the back of your system and then gives you a straight HDMI output. Here's more from the Electron Shepherd website:

Size: 58mm x 33mm x 12.6mm
Supply Voltage: 5V
Video Input: Component
Audio Input: Digital Surround Sound
Video Output: HDMI
Latency: LAG FREE!!

With this newest version of this module, V3, the Digital Surround Sound audio input has been fixed to work with every revision of the Xbox. V1 and V2 versions will not be shipped out any longer. All orders will be fulfilled with V3 versions.

After the first release of our Xbox2HDMI modules we received some reports that these modules were not producing sound output when used with Xbox units with Revision 1.0 hardware while connected to some specific TVs and sound bars. We released a V2 version of the Xbox2HDMI that looked to solve this issue with the addition of a small switch that allows the user to swap between analog and digital surround sound. The new V3 unit completely solves the audio issue and allows for digital surround sound on all Xbox units.

This tiny, power-packed module takes in the Component video and audio output from the Original Xbox and outputs an HDMI signal with embedded Dolby Digital Surround Sound (if that audio setting is enabled in your Xbox’s settings). This module utilizes a fully custom PCB with a higher quality, next-generation IC compared to what is typically used on the widely available Wii2HDMI and VGA2HDMI modules that are readily available online. If you are not happy with those modules, then you will absolutely be happy with them.

This module efficiently supports the 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i resolutions that are default to the original Xbox. This module is able to support all of the following resolutions although they are not all achievable outputs from the original Xbox: 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p25/30/50/60, 1080i50/60, 1080p24/25/30/50/60.

We'll be doing a full test on this in the very near future, make sure you are subscribed!!
