New Matrix Firmware V1.75 Released Today

[dungbeetle46]

Released today V1.75 Firmware for the Infinity Modchip.
You can Download it from http://www.infinitymod.com/cgi-bin/m...e.pl?page=news

New Features and additions:
- VGA support added
- Main language loading fix

Notes :
- VGA suport was added to this firmware relase. You can now use the original blaze vga adaptor without
the boot cd and enjoy the enhanced games compatibility that this version brings you on your vga screen
(with full original ps2 browser and dvd movies support in vga mode).

VGA mode is set to 640x480 at 60Hz (so the added bonus is that PAL games will run 20% faster).
Games are automatically centered according to the original resolution without vertical or horizontal
side artifacts (a common problem with the original vga adapter).
PSX games are not supported at the moment but will probably be in a future release (altough this is
probably a low priority fix due to the small improvement that vga support could bring to psx games).

When VGA mode is enabled you can access the monitor adjust screen in the config menu by pressing
SELECT. You only need to do this the first time to adjust your monitor settings (a white border is
present at the side of the screen, play with your monitor settings so that the 640x480 screen completely
fills your viewing area).

A schematic of the cable will be soon online on our site for those skilled in the art of patching things
together


- The language selected in the browser was not correctly loaded when BOOT MODE was set to DEV1.
Program automatically loaded on boot from the memory card had the incorrect default language.

Wow that was a quick update!

That's for the notice, I wouldn't have checked the Matrix site for another month or so.

Which is the correct thread?
I posted in the other one that in my DELL LCD the VGA mode is not working.
Anyone else tested?

Could someone test any/all of the following games in VGA mode:
.hack
Atelier Iris
Castlevania Circle of Darkness
Dark Chonicle
Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2
Dragon Quest VIII
Dual Hearts
FFX-2
Final Fantasy XII demo
Grandia Extreme
Pink Pong
Radiata Stories
Ratchet & Clank 2
Second Sight
Star Ocean 3
This is Football 2002
To Heart 2
Xenosaga

These are games that don't work with the O2mod vga mode, and so I was wondering if the matrix infinity handles them any better.Most of them fail because of a certain kind of FMV causing freezes.I expect compatiblity will probably be the same though , unless it is done more like the blaze disc.Which works better than o2's vga in some cases, but worse in others and has crappy screen centering all round.

What is that VGA mode anyway ?

Does anyone know if it's gonna be the same diagram as the one here or will it be something else ?

And thanks to the matrix team, VGA mode is a great feature

I've posted a VGA compatibility list here:

All games are NTSC and are tested with a Blaze VGA adaptor + Matrix Infinity mod.

If anyone wants to add to the list, feel free to do so.

I tried booting with vga cable in several versions on 2 monitors (1LCD 1oldschool Eizo). Both dont seem to work.
