Matrix infinity" i gotta couple question needs help

[masoud23]

Hey i gotta question about playing pal games. i have an ntsc TV and a ps2 with matrix infinity. when i put in a pal game my tv flickers when the game is on. so i read on the v1.68 firmware that you can Force pal mode or something? will this fix the issue with the tv flickering? my firmware right now is v1.4 or something. and can i burn the firmware using roxeo easy cd creator using the "burn data cd " option? Because when i tried it with v1.54 for some reason it didnt work. and also when i burn the v1.75 firmware, will i have all the options that v1.68 has? or will i have to first upgrade 1.68 Then upgrade 1.75?

I know its alot of questions, but i really need to know, any help will be appreciated thankS!

Just go straight to v1.75. Burn using Nero at 4x to a cd-r.

The upgrade will fix your flickering screen.

ok so now i upgraded to 1.75 but it still didnt help solve the flickering problem.
I tried looking for Force to Pal mode option after i pressed triangle and circle to come to the matrix infinity menu but i couldnt find it. like i said before i have an NTSC Television, could this be the problem? wut do u think wuts up?

[masoud23]

oh yea and btw the game is DBZ tenkaichi , its a pal game im guessing, because of the flickering. also my ps2 is ntsc,

tv:ntsc
pstwo:ntsc
game: pal

Do this:
Hold triangle and circle buttons on the controller 1. turn the PS2 on.
that will open the matrix configuration menu.

on the 1st option press the X button until the word "NTSC" appears.
Press RESET.

Happy gamming



P.S.: Never save the configuration with it as VGA because if you have no VGA BOX you won't see anything on the screen.

ahh hey thx for the info but um when i use NTSC or whatever, it doesnt show the full game like the game is large for my tv or something, how do i make it into a smaller resolution so i can see everything?. Btw how do i get a VGA Box or somewhat. blaze vga adaptor, can i buy that from any stores around besides online. and what will the price be?

[masoud23]

Oh and i just heard about the vga boot cd or something, with the boot cd where can i download this from and for the boot cd do i also need the vga adaptor??

[l_oliveira]

The VGA boot CD is to enable the VGA box. It keeps a hack on the PS2 ram that will force the games to play in VGA mode. The most important thing is the VGA BOX hardware. The VGA function on the matrix infinity make you don't need the CD anymore. Also it has better compatibility than the CD.

About the game not being full on your TV, put the option to match your TV.
PAL will make the video out go on PAL format for the TV

PAL games have a bigger screen than a NTSC game. When a game exists on NTSC version get it and toss PAL games away. They suck. If the game is out only on PAL version, you have to reposition the screen so you get it in the middle and lose a little bit on the top and the end of the screen ... You gotta live with it ...

The only true solution is a 50hz capable RGB monitor. You get the best image for both NTSC and PAL regions and that's easy to get in Europe. That's why you don't see many euro ppl complain about 60hz games ... lol


Happy new year !

Yep, I live in Sweden and I can confirm that PAL-games sucks ass. I'm having my PS2 chipped with a Matrix Infinity so that i can play JAP and USA games in full speed and frame.
