- It's Adam Koralik here and today we're discussing the Hyperkin HDMI Cable for the original Microsoft XBox, this is a revision 1. It's an HDMI cable that taps into the console's component signal for an enhanced definition gaming experience that's super easy to use, though that doesn't make it perfect. This is my review!

I currently use a component cable and HDMI converter to connect my original Xbox to the receiver, this will save some clutter if it's just as good, if not better.
Also curious about how this compares to a converter (component to HDMI). I can use an Component->HDMI converter with my Wii, PS2, original XBOX, etc. so I feel like it would be a more flexible option for less money unless this HDMI cable or the Pound one is actually going to look better and have less lag. But then of course I'd need HDMI cables for my Wii and PS2 also..
At 12:40, you can tell he facepalmed. I'll stick with my psyclone component cables.
Great video man. Love the unbiased view. Spot on review, clear picture and concise!!
Nice review as always. For me personally; sounds like I’ll just keep using my monster component cables for now. Appreciate the info!
Thank you for the review Adam, I'll be buying one of these
This makes a lot of sense for modded Xbox Originals because you can run games in 720p and it will look absolutely awesome.
I PERSONALLY preferred the look of the HDMI cables for some reason. They almost looked cleaner to me. Of course the best way for me to know is just to test both myself
Hi adam, ive been watching your vids since i looked up info to get better picture out of my ps2. I was using composite on my lcd & i know yuck! But i ended up buying ps3 component cables & ive been very happy. That being said the all of these hdmi cables have been a let down, im no videophile, but there is a BIG difference between the component & these cables & what kills me is the company pound even said there is no difference between 480i rgb & component & 480p is meh & not needed ( i know this is a xbox vid but its not 1 to 1) , like i said im no videophile but there IS a difference. Thank you for all the comparisons thats why i keep comming back 👍
The only games that run in native 1080i is Atari Anthology and Dragons Lair 3D. Everything else is just kinda upscaled from 480p like Enter the Matrix, or 540p (in a very technical way)with the MX games.
Really? MX Unleashed looks like I am playing a PC game. Very clear. Also @adam koralik, the n64freak cable is the best, but its expensive
@@c0rpse1 How much?
The list is: Atari Anthology, Double S.T.E.A.L. The Second Clash, Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair, Enter The Matrix, MX Unleashed, MX vs. ATV Unleashed and Syberia.
Great video, love these type of videos.
Honest review!
i noticed one of my smart tvs has only hdmi inputs this was a bit of a surprise . great vid very thorough !
Hey Adam, do you remove the clock capacitor in your Xbox’s? If not then you need to do so since the capacitor leaks acid over time and could cause irreparable damage. Also have you replaced the thermal paste on the CPU And GPU?
Been looking forward to this video.
Ngl stopped watching for like a year guess thats was college does to yah but just felt like saying I’m happy to be watching your videos again and glad to see nothing has changed still good quality content
love your vids man :)
Disappointing, though in my opinion component is still currently the way to go over a passive HDMI adapter anyway due compatibility and also it's ability to be paired with a FrameMeister which does an amazing job handling with the 480i games and can also improve 480p and 720p games quite nicely too so long as you use a good custom profile. A good quality adapter that actually upscales 480i content to improve compatibility would be very interesting though.
Great review Adam.
Just found my original xbox, problem is no cables.I might just have to order these.
I purchased this cable and played the Warriors which maxes out at 720p and the picture comparison between composite vs HDMI are priceless and the sound quality came out great especially on my sound bar definitely don't regret buying and recomend.
I mean, I'm glad you're happy. But this is not a particularly good cable, but yeah of course it's better than composite.
I try the triggers and joysticks and it did work thanks Adam
Tnx for the video. I've decided to go with the Pound cable + mCable and the reason is since I can't use the mCable on Hyperkin.
It's funny. I was bashed for calling this and the Pound cable out for not being worth it on MetalJesusRock's video on these OG XBOX HDMI solutions. I had a bunch of people say these solutions were miles better than component. And now I have even more confirmation from Adam on this. Just goes to show who's audience is really educated on this stuff lol. I still got my old fashioned green death grip Monster component cables lol. They will stay in use until one company will finally stop pandering to the "convenience over quality" crowd and just make a cable with good converters and or components like the Beharbros do, no matter what the cost. But considering that rarely happens with an American company (thank god the Beharbros are in Turkey), I better hold on to my component cables.
I like Metal Jesus but I do understand what you mean. He had a video about Monoprice component cables and he said it was great quality. My Life in Gaming went into more depth and it was okay picture but not great. In fact, they opened the cable up to find the wiring is so thin, making the video quality not great. Nothing against the dude but people put him on a pedestal.
@@nerdyneedsalife8315 Yeah and the thing is, I wasn't even snobby or a jerk about it. I was just trying to explain what Adam in this video pretty much said and I was bashed. I deleted the comment because the rude replies were getting on my nerves lol. Ignorance is bliss I suppose...
@@DarylWiseJr I think it's weird how people think it's better than component even though the OG Xbox uses component. A component signal is still used even if converted, meaning you're still at the mercy of component. Like Adam said he wanted, all it has to do is be as good as component.
@@nerdyneedsalife8315 Because just like Adam sarcastically says, when people see HDMI they think "THE 1080p!" LOL!
@@DarylWiseJr And they'd be right if they were talking about PS3/PS4 generations. HDMI usually outputs 1080p or higher so people think that's what these cables do. So they are wrong in this instance but think they're right because in the right context they would be right.
How do you get to the other resolutions for the Original Xbox because for me I can only get the type of screen like letterbox, normal and widescreen. Do I need to get a type of cable to get the other resolutions or do I need to mod my Original Xbox.
Before I try one of these Adam,I've got a question,I bought a set of component cables for mine and it gave the picture a green wash tint,I tried it on two TV's and I ended up just going back to av. Will ur knowledge on these systems have u ever ran across this problem and what can I do to fix it. I had it color matched,so idk? Oh mine is a version 1.6
N64freak made a fantastic hdmi adapter for the OG xbox. I have it and it is on par with the official component cables and support 5.1 sound
How much?Are they made to order or ready to ship?
dlang6487 Where did you buy it from?
I bought mine over a year ago. He has a webstore. Looks like he sells an internal HDMI mod now.www.ogxbox.com/forums/index.php?/forum/30-n64-freaks-products/
At the end of the day, I prefer using the component video pack and an HDMI upscale box for playing my original Xbox.
It's a little complicated but I enjoy the quality display I get from that set up.
That's not really complicated at all.
@@xeostube it's not. But I know some people aren't as technically inclined as others.
What TV and cables are best for soldier of fortune 2?
I hope HD RetroVision makes component cables for the Original Xbox.
I'll continue using my custom 360 component cable. By and large the best modern solution for Xbox HD output.
Ithe HDMI cable that you are talking about now for the original Xbox I have had a problem the problem that I am having with it is that I lose picture when I am playing a game and then the picture comes back on what can I do so that It doesn't do that
I got this cable today and it works GREAT. I have a modded Xbox and I played both Xbox games and several emulators and it looks as good as my official Microsoft Xbox component cable. I didn't experience any issues with artifacts on the screen like the wavy lines. And I displayed in different resolutions from 480i to 720p. No noticeable input lag either. Played a few hours of Halo and it looked and played awesome.
Adam, I think some of the issues with this (or the Pound Cable) might have to do with the brand of HDTV you have. I have a 1080p Sony. Sony's tend to work pretty well with a lot of these types of cables, from my experience. I've heard this cable has issues with some Samsung tv's. I don't know about other brands. Sorry yours didn't work that well.
Will it work with the mcable classic because I own the hyperlink but was wondering if the mclassic will improve it
I have to wonder why hyperkin just happens to release both a dreamcast and xbox cable out of the blue after pound releases the same product? I wonder if they just reverse engineered the v1 pound cables? Or perhaps they are the same company?
I have a model manufactured in 2003 that definitely has the flickering screen issue. The ones I have that were manufactured in 2001 work just fine.
Just ordered the Pound Cable since my new TV only has HDMI and Coaxial. I had a cheap component set of cables, but I can't stand the white noise.
did the hyperkin orginal xbox hdmi cable work good adam
8:17 and again, if you're using a PAL device, it's not worth modifying the console unless you have a game that can do 720p or 1080i. Because 576i is already a higher resolution than 480i and if your HDTV is good at deinterlacing then end result will be higher resolution than 480p anyway. I once had a softmod on my Xbox, and I disabled it soon after when it became clear it was a downgrade. The games I had could only do 480p and it looked much worse than they did at 576i. They looked compressed with much more pronounced aliasing.
Lucky me, the TV I just got actually supports 480i through HDMI. I plan to eventually use official HD AV Kit coupled with an OSSC or a Retrotink2X, but this or the Pound cable seems like a nice stopgap in the meantime just so I can actually play my OG Xbox, until I can afford such a solution.
Hi Adam been following you since 2013 and I wonder what's your thoughts on Shenmue 3 till now...
Is there any you would recommend for Europe/PAL? As long as 480i can run well from it i'd be happy due to the monitor i'm using. I have the offical Scart cables which is the best we have here in Europe but for future proofing it be nice to have a simple alternative. From reviews of such cables, depending on the version of xbox, later versions of the console in Europe do not work. I'm not sure why?
I'd recommend modding the console to be honest.
I use my xbox with wide screen disabled because a lot of games when set to wide screen cuts off top and bottom of the screen.
There is a list out there somewhere that will tell you if a game supports 16:9 (Widescreen) modes. Some games support 480P or 720P and also have a widescreen option and some don't support widescreen at all. Also, I've read that most games can only do either 480p or Widescreen, so if you use 480P mode it will only work in 4:3, but if you run it in 480i you can use widescreen (where supported).
Have you tried the Letterbox format?
That shade at 7:48...SAVAGE!
I have the Hyperkin Wii HDMI cable and I'm surprised how good it actually is. Waaaay better video quality than those Chinese component to hdmi converters. No artifacts, or blurriness with the Hyperkin cable.. everything looks, sharp and no noticeable input lag. Hopefully, it holds up over the long term.
What is better Hyperkin or Pound ? Thanks! :)
Big Adam in the house
This channel is low key clutch.
Why aren't there any HDMI cables that have the optical audio SPDIF out? Do any of the games on the Original Xbox utilitze the SPDIF out?
Probably a cost cutting measure.
Plenty do, the original Xbox is amazing with 5.1 audio, and this is one reason why the official Microsoft cables along with the Monster (and its extremely rare proprietary adapter that was sold separately back in the day) and Psyclone go for $50-$100+ these days. If only Microsoft had built that connector onto the actual console, they never put that directly on an Xbox console until the Xbox 360 S.
Xbox OG had better digital audio than the PS2. PS2 had DD Pro Logic II (which is compressed 5.1), Xbox had straight Dolby Digital - better quality. on the HD AV Pack it is Toslink not SPDIF. some people have modded the xbox to have a digital audio port straight on the back.
It's possible to mod the system by bridging a couple jumpers and then soldering two points to an RCA female jack to get coax digital audio. I did it years ago, and have been very happy with the result.
@@AdamKoralik How do you use the Mcable with original xbox?
I’m currently have an issue with figuring out how to get the screen resolution option to pop up. When I go into video settings on my Xbox it only give the option to switch between normal, letterbox, and wide screen.
Same
So although in the UK anything above 480i isn't supported by the Xbox without modding, will this cable still work and carry the 480i signal just cleaning it up?
It likely wouldn't work as most HDMI inputs don't support 480i. Though I don't remember off hand if this does some upscaling on its own to compensate for that issue.
@@AdamKoralik ah crap, I guess I should go for a refund
I run my OG Xbox on an old 14" CRT, using a decent RGB Scart cable (TV doesn't have component).
Realistically, would you say it's worth me grabbing one of these, modding my Xbox as I'm in a PAL region. Or just sticking with Scart?
I mean, personally yes. But that's really more your call. It would be a lot more work, especially because you have a PAL unit. Obviously you'd need an HDMI TV as well. Though between this or the Pound version, I'd go Pound. Ultimately, up to you.
@@AdamKoralik it's a tough choice, I'm not exactly getting a bad image with my Xbox, if anything it's in line with what I remember when I was playing it all them years ago.
Might just flip a coin on this one, there's equal good and bad points for me.
Fyi, loving the videos as always 👌
how many more sega Saturn games do you need in order to have the full north American set?
How can you tell what version of the Xbox you have?
Hi Adam there´s an option to get 5.1 DD trough HDMI or just use the XBOX component box?
Not as far as I know.
I have a very good component cable with optical audio + a/c HDMI adapter + Mcable = great image quality on my LG 65 oled 4K. The only issue is the audio go away, is like mute mode, not all the time but this is annoying issue it takes about 30 mins to 40 mins to the audio returns or just turn off & turn on the XBOX until audio returns. This is the only issue that I have. Does the pound has that issue with the Mcable? Please let me know. Also great honest review, you deserve 🏆
That would be the first time I've heard of that.
Planning to connect the original Xbox to the monitor. Since the monitor doesn't have speakers, is there any way I can get audio?
Uh, maybe not with this particular cable, no. :/
Im in the uk and the hyperkin cable wouldn't work with my smart tv, however i plugged the hdmi into my psvr computer unit and i have a decent picture. Could anyone explain this? Is it to do with the hdmi version or is it reverting the picture?
Your TV doesn't support 480i input, apparently the PSVR does.
Which is the best for xbox and gamecube for graphics and if mcable what additional adaptors needed?
Watch my GCHD II video.
My xbox doesnt give me the option to change resolution, please help
It would be really cool to see you compare the Kaico PS2 HD adapter to the Pound PS2 cable, also the Kaico Xbox vs the Pound Xbox cable. I have the Kaico cable for my Dreamcast and GameCube and am very happy with them in comparison and am wondering whether I should get the Kaico cables for my PS2 and Xbox which I am currently using Pound cables for both then running them through the mClassic. You do the best comparison videos and would love to see your conclusions
Honestly, they're all budget devices that don't do a great job. I can't really recommend any of them.
Damn someone just gave me this for Xmas , my luck
Geht auch Dolbi Digital oder nur Stereo Signal ?
Can you get 480i and 480p on the pal og xbox with omponent cables?!
Not unless you mod the console.
i wish they do the first xbox controller S remake
for this generation
.
thank you so so much fot that infomation 5:13
.
I bought 3 diff pound cables from amazon for og Xbox, all had the lines issue. I gave up.
I have a 1.6v Xbox 🤦🏽♂️I wonder if this will work
Honestly running 1080i content on a 1080p screen is a bad idea to begin with. Since that adds the much more complex issue of deinterlacing.
Agreed.
Does it depend on what type of tv u got because I got all the tool u said in this video and none of my game come out as crystal clear it still look blurry!!
I mean yeah, that matters too.
@@AdamKoralik because I got like 2 games that’s come out clear and all the rest of them are blurry
@@jermaineisacc What games?
what is the BEST Video solution for unmodded PAL Xbox's? My HDMI Converter displays Games ONLY at 480i :/
You really should mod it. Without doing that, your options are comically limited.
@@AdamKoralik So there is really NO way to get at least 480p Image on an unmodded PAL Xbox? What about component cable? Only 480i too? 🤕
You can use upscalers to give you an artificial 480p just to hit a benchmark, but I REALLY would not recommend that.
Mod the console, unlock the higher resolution modes.
@@AdamKoralik Damn....OK thanks then I've got to find the easiest way to Mod the Xbox Console Just to enable NTSC Resolutions..
.any suggestions?
There's a ton of videos out there about how to mod Xbox consoles. Look into soft modding.
So you need to have at least the component cables to switch the resolution first? Was thinking of getting the pound cable but currently only have the yellow, red and white cable.
Not really, the problem is most HDMI inputs don't support 480i. But if yours does, then you wouldn't have that problem.
@@AdamKoralik I think you are missing what I'm saying. My cable is currently rhe basic red, white and yellow. You can select widescreen but you have no options for resoultion. So my question was, if you needed at least the component cable to have the option?
@@trenchtiger8599 Correct, unless you have a PAL Xbox. In which case, the console needs to be modified first.
@@AdamKoralik I doubt it is a PAL. I'm in the US.
Then yeah, you need at least the component cables to see the HD options. This cable would also allow you to see them.
Only issue is again most HDTVs don't support 480i via an HDMI input. So you might need to configure it on a computer monitor or something first.
Thank you for clarifying the option to get the dashboard to show up. However i have a question and that is have you ever had the cable just cut out for a few seconds and then come back ? It's happened twice now for me and idk if it's because i'm revision 1.6b
You mean brief black screen? If so, do you have the setup as follows:
Xbox --> Hyperkin Cable --> TV
Or... Xbox --> Hyperkin Cable --> Something like a switch or receiver --> TV
@@AdamKoralik thank you for getting back to me. It's the second one. Xbox--> Hyperkin --> Switcher --> Elgato. But i also have the mClassic hooked up to it though i don't think that caused anything.
If that's the reason it's doing that what would you suggest to correct it ? Because i record and live stream and it did the brief black screen during one of my recordings.
@@MattsGeekCorner Yep, there's the problem. It's the HDMI switch. The signal strength isn't good enough for that.
Annoying as this is, you either need to get rid of that or do this:
Xbox --> Hyperkin --> mClassic --> Switch ---> El Gato.
Or
Xbox --> Hyperkin --> mClassic --> El Gato.
@@AdamKoralik I'll try plugging straight into the elgato through the second option because i think the setup i have now is the first one that you just listed. But if i eliminate the mClassic would it still work the same way as option two ?
Honestly i only have the switcher because of my PS3 but it made everything convenient lol.
The mClassic includes an HDMI repeater, which enhances the signal strength. That's why placing it BEFORE the switch is good. But I see why that's annoying.
Is this basically the same as those PS2 to HDMI converter adapter things you can get for the PS2?
Which one?
@@AdamKoralik The Hyperkin one
Can you use 480p and 720p without widescreen? I'd rather preserve the aspect ratio than crop in and lose some top and bottom information and make everything look skinny.
If a game supported 720p native, it also supported widescreen native. 480p, it was a mix. But yeah you can adjust it. Though an mClassic makes that way easier.
I get bad signal/signal lost with this cable alot. GTA III and VC has weird picture problem where I can only see half of the screen.. like wtf. Gonna surely get the original hd av pack and not these 3rd party cables which are not guaranteed to work 😢
Yes a really nice review Adam. Awesome work as always. I live in Pal Land and as you have already mentioned in your Video MS screwed us Europeans with higher def support. But Ms was not alone MS did the same when stripping pal games of the 480p support. Luckily I have a Xbox one S and with the backwards compability I can use some Xbox games on the One. But for the Games that do not work on the one S I still need to use the original xbox. I am thinking of getting a rgb scart cable for that purpose. I do not think that component is worth it for just 480i
You can get almost every single PAL game to run in 480p on a PAL console by installing a softmod.
Does it support surround sound? I know that the Pound version doesn't.
It does not.
Is there a hdmi mod from citrus 3000 psi?
Hello Adam. My name is Ryszard (Poland) I wonder if cable plug in Duke Hyperkin controller is enough solid for daily playing games, beacue it doesn't look so. I going to buy Duke Hyperkin controller but I'm worry if the connection wouldn't break after 2 months intensive playing games. What are you think about it ? My English is not so good, Jestem ciekawy czy gniazdko w padzie Duke Hyperkin nie jest za słabe w codziennym graniu. Myslę że to jego słaby punkt, co o tym myślisz?
Hi, sorry, I don't speak Polish.
The controller seems okay, mine still works. But I didn't use it every day.
I need one 1 thease also my 4ktv is brand new with upscaling
Hey Adam my xbox only shows widescreen in the settings but I can find the resolution option am I just not finding it or does my xbox not have it?
do you have a component cable plugged in or just standard AV cable? If I'm not mistaken, the component cable has to be plugged in in order to be given an option to select a resolution.
PAL XBox?
Stand av
Okay makes sense
And no I bought it in the US
Europe and Australia Xbox runs in 576i not 480i. Some might run in PAL60 and 576p
Hyperkin should make a disc drive replacement for the OG Xbox... They should also make an SSD replacement kit too haha!
Maybe Hyperkin can just make a new OG Xbox Classic with native HDMI support and can still run disc games... I can only dream.
@@iamtheliquor809 I'm dreaming with you......................
I just bought an IDE to SATA for $10 and then plugged in my own SSD and it works great! Don't forget to swap out the 40-wire IDE to 80-wire.
I would still like a best possible video quality for the og Xbox video. I know the answer I just find them entertaining... The best video quality you can get is absolutely with composite cables.
Sorry I couldn't even say that without projectile vomiting
I've knowdest that the cable that you are talking about it was a tight fit to the tv but other than that it worked great
I can't see the res options
5:10. Holding both triggers and thumbsticks didn't do anything on my original v1.0 xbox. Why don't I have any video settings other than just the screen size
How do you have it connected?
@@AdamKoralik I have the stock RCA cables if thats what you mean
That's why. If you're using composite cables the HD options won't appear.
@@AdamKoralik so do I need to get the product you are reviewing?
@@Wilson_Racing Well, you have options. It depends on your set-up. I can't say I actually recommend this, it's just a lot better than what you're currently using.
Can you do video on audioquest hdmi cable?
Hi again! Another question Adam, for you, is the component cables the best way to use the xbox?
For some reason mk armageddon is all glitchy with that cable i tested only a few games yet but it definitly better looking than using av to hdmi cheap option
Is the hd pack different to the official component cables ?
I think you're talking about the same thing
@@AdamKoralik oh i ment the one were you cant detach the cable and are just cables and the hd pack the box with the component jacks
I’m getting serious fuzzy and wiggly lines using hyperkin? Any advice?
Yeah, I noticed the same thing. The Pound cable was a bit better, but neither is great.
Adam Koralik I actually had some luck by unplugging my PS4 & Dreamcast that were plugged into the strip & it improved big time
Wow super bummed out to hear i have to mod my Xbox purely because i live me in Australia. Don't want to mod my Xbox as it's a Halo Edition and mint condition at that.. So that's game over for me and back to the drawing board. Thanks for the information mate.
Soft modding an xbox won't even require opening it
I'm not a fan of interlaced resolutions. I personally think 720p is superior to 1080i. I disable interlaced whenever there's support for a progressive scan option.
I agree completely.
Is it better to just play the original xbox games on the xbox 360?
About only half of the library is supported, and many games had technical issues, such as crashing, audio/video glitches, and slower framerates. It's a decent option, but not ideal.
web.archive.org/web/20100107145453/www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitysupportissues.htm
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360#List_of_compatible_Xbox_games
Depends on the game honestly, but generally speaking, no. Xbox 360 more or less emulates the OG Xbox so their are a whole slew of compatibility issues and glitches even on the games it does support backward compatibility for. There is a list on wikipedia I believe that should have detailed information about glitches and other problems for OG Xbox games running on a 360.
@@BigOnAnime94 Okay good to know, I don't have very many xbox games so I might just play them on the 360 since they do work just fine for what I can tell. I don't have a original xbox either so my only option right now is the 360 which the model I have is the slim.
The pound isn't the only competition tho, there's the Myriann cable from Aliexpress too. Hope you test it one day :)
I chose to play the video in 1080p and yet it insists on being 240p
Adam (Gaming Doohickey Master), would you recommend this product? Be honest.
Did you watch the video?
That's a no! @@AdamKoralik
If you are having issues with wavy screen using these types of cables. You will need to replace a set of caps that manage power on the XBOX as they are old. The pound cable can get around this if you USB power it.
Do you plan on reviewing the Hyperkin PS2 cable.
Probably not, how much different could it be from Pound or Kaico's?
mcable should make PS2, dreamcast, and OG Xbox HDMI cables.
I'll stick with my monster component cables until my TV dies and you can't get component input on new TVs.
i have component on my new tv
