Retro games are experiencing a resurgence in popularity & many people are getting back into gaming on old hardware!

The original XBOX is a great console but, when using an unmodded PAL system or an NTSC system not using 480p or above, the games have a forced flicker filter and soften toggle switched on.

This means you cannot remove the blurriness without modding a PAL system to use NTSC mode or getting an NTSC console with component cables.

How do XBOX games look when switching on the flicker filter on and off alongside the soften toggle?
How do these fare against 480p line doubled by the OSSC for the XBOX?

Watch to find out!
