OG XBox component, outputs to Framemeister but not Sony Trinitron Wega (self.crtgaming)

The Xbox is softmodded and the video is set to 480i non-widescreen. Any idea why it might not be outputting? What I see is the intended output on my 4k tv, but the CRT is a 45° slanted, scrolling, monochrome image that's heavily warped. My first though was that the softmod had something to do with it, but I've seen this question asked before without any answers.

This sounds like it's actually outputting 480p despite the 480i setting. Can you verify the resolution with the framemeister or a different display?

If you launch a game, is the picture still garbled in-game? It could potentially be a difference between softmod menu and game resolution

Turns out that games play fine, but the menus are illegible. Maybe there's a fix for the system menus? Or maybe I can undo the mod, I only modded to get otherwise unreachable DLC
