It has arrived! (few questions)

[Ashmai]

I finally got my matrix infinity installed into my brand new slim ps2, and its working like a charm. My backups are working great, this thing runs everything! I'm in love

I did have a few questions though, it didn't come with any user manuals as far as the chip goes. Right now basically all I know how to do, it put in a game and watch it load... it does everything by itself... I do see the Matrix logo, and a tiny matrix logo under the PS2 logo when it loads games, but other than that, what options do I have at this point? Where to next? At its current state, can I burn a disk full of MP3's and will it auto play it? I hear people talking about holding down buttons on boot, and it goes to a diffrent menu? What are these boot loaders used for... There is a ton of random info floating around, and a few great sites that I have been linked to (sksapps, etc) but they assume you know a bit about what your doing.

So what can this baby do, and what do I want to explore with it? Playing my imports and backups are great, but I would really like to mess with memory cards (when I find out what the use is), wtf is an ELF file, and how do I access secret ninja area's of the Matrix Infinity?

Give me some love, its much appreciated

EDIT: I found out how to get to the config menu, pushing triangle + circle on boot, I have version 1.68. Everything seems to be running smoothly, but should I need to upgrade firmware? I don't want to mess anything up hehe

You should upgrade the firmware. It's the reason why you bought such a chip. Becareful, make sure you have the genuine Matrix Infinity, cause you cannot flash clones.

I believe I read on the forums, that in order to play backup games (burnt ISO's) you need a cracked firmware? If this is true, do I need to worry about anything, or just go to the site, grab the newest version, and party? I want to make sure I don't lose that ability.

Also, anyone else on the other questions I had?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the crystal chip.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the crystal chip.

ahh, in reguards to the one not being able to play backedup ISO's? Perhaps, I'm new to this.

So just install the firmware, eh?

[juventini]

Yeah, just install the latest fw.
