So back in December I made a bunch of posts in this thread about getting my two nephews (8/9 years old) set up on x-box and minecraft. Got a lot of help here and got them set up in time for x-mas with minecraft and a few other games.
They LOVE it, especially minecraft
When they play, they take turns in front of the TV in 1/2 hour - 1 hour long increments. As you can imagine, when one gets impatient, things can get a bit nasty between them.
My Sister was (and still is) not willing to let them play with others over the internet, but she is willing to let them play multi player with other kids who are in the house.
When I 1st set up the xbox for her I was surprised to see she had an old, NON HDTV. But we got everything set up and running.
They have played split screen/multiplayer Beach Buggy Racing on the current set up.
When I researched playing multiplayer minecraft, it says splitscreen wont work on non HDTV's.

....so my question is, why would split screen multiplayer work on BeachBuggy Racing but not on Minecraft on the current TV.
.....and when they say it wont work, is it worth me trying to set it up anyways....perhaps it would work, but just be slower or with weaker graphics ??? Or when they say it wont work, do they really mean DONT BOTHER......CAUSE IT WONT WORK ?
I advised her it probably would not work, but I could try to set it up and see what happens, while also advising her to bite the bullet and get an HDTV.
Any info help/info appreciated. I dont have xbox myself so when I help them I need to research it first, figure out whats what, then drive over there and try to help......while the kids stand behind me, impatiently waiting for results.
Too much pressure !
