The VGA standard cable does not support PAL-50. Therefore, if you use a VGA cable, you must configure the Xbox 360 console to use PAL-60.

However, some original Xbox games support only PAL-50 and not PAL-60. Therefore, you will not be able to play original Xbox games that support only PAL-50 if you use a VGA cable.
