Ok, I’m not that great with computers, so don’t flame me lol.
So, I see that the NC10 has a VGA slot on the right side of the system. What I want to know is if I can buy one of those XBOX 360 VGA cables to connect my xbox to my nc10.
I just want to know if this is possible. I know that the NC10 doesn’t have “OMGSUPERAWESOMEHD” graphics, but I just want to be able to play in my room.Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks, Joseph

However there are various usb devices which you can buy which will take a video input and display it on your screen. I use a TV Tuner which can do this to play my Wii via my desktop computer with almost no lag at all (some usb video input devices will lag a lot though).

The VGA connection on the NC10 is output only to display images from the NC10 on a monitor / TV which accepts a VGA input.

I know the 360 wireless tech is locked down but surely it’s similar to bluetooth? I’m using a wiimote at the moment but I’ve run outta buttons!

ok guys
I was just wondering if this was possible or not. You’ve even helped that other guy!Also, isn’t there some sort of adapter that can be put between the nc10’s vga port and the 360 vga cable?
I think I’ve read that somewhere, but I can’t recall…thanks for replying though

Even if there is an adapter, the NC10’s VGA port is an output only, same as the 360. So it will not work.January 5, 2009 at 9:33 am #178353s162000Member[quote1231147896=preetkk]

I would be very careful when buying something like that, it will often have a great deal of lag between the input and displaying on the screen.I use an Elgato EyeTV Hybrid to connect my Wii, as it only has a few milliseconds of lag.
