Yes, it`s been done before.
No, it won`t be as lond as the FOG version.
Why am I trying it out anyway?
The XBOX forum is a very interesting place to be, but it can also be a little quiet. I though perhaps if we had a topic with several hundred replies lurking at the top, things would look more popular.
Feel free to use the topic to talk about anything. Either the latest XBOX game, latest ideas for including some female star in a game etc... or even just the usual chat that happens all over.
As I expect this to fail, I`ve decided to spend a little while pushing up the replies. No spamming, just lots of nonsense :-)
Any help would be great, it`d be boring to have a whole topic with replies from only me.

Once you have the Advanced scart cable, you have to buy a optical lead which costs about £9.99.
If you buy the Joytech lead, it is basically the same, except it comes with S video connections aswell as the RGB Scart. And the optical lead is included in the price, saving your £9.99.
BUT, people using widescreen TVs have had problems with it as the widescreen switchover doesn't work. I have my joytech lead hooked up to a Yamaha 5.1 system, but I am only using a 4:3 TV. So the Joytech lead works out well for me, much cheaper.
So if you are using a 4:3 TV, go for the Joytech lead. If not, you'll have to do a bit more research. I *have* used mine on a Widescreen TV. The only difference is that you have to manually switch the TV into 4:3 mode, but I never do this anyway, as it leaves black borders down the side. I just let it stretch it a bit. And this only effects games that aren't in WS, like Halo.

If you have the advanced scart lead then you can hook it up to a sound system via the optical output. The sound system must have a optical output as well. Make sure that if you do get a sound system, buy a good 5.1 system rather than anything else.
ok a quesion for "ya'll", home boys and girls, do you need to buy an extra lead for the advance scart lead to hook up dolby surround sound speakers, I cant find 1 in any shops to look at it??? I can get an unofficial one and a digi out lead for around the same price.
I havent been able to afford mine yet but argos do a 90watt dolby digital surround system for £100 and it comes with a remote which is a bonus, Anyone have this??

>>I was unaware of the first title - maye you'd rather stop playing all your high and mighty 'adult' and 'cool' titles and play something just as fun and just as (or more than) original - ie Pikmin, Doshin, SSBM etc
Sorry lol, just had to express me opinion of sequels
>>All opinion, but as many will tell you, the GC is very nealr yjust as powerful as the XBox - Better games? Than Mario, Zelda, Metroid, SSBM, ED, Resident Evil, etc etc etc? All my opinion, as your statement was, but all the same...................
Like i say above, depends on the types of games you like. I like the more realistic ones. Not arcady type
