Matrix or Crystal?

**gakhal79** · 07-11-2006,11:20 PM

I'm planning on getting my chip in a few days. I've read and realized these are the two most dominant chips in the market (Infinity mostly though). So, if the Matrix is better, why? What features make it better than the Crystal 1.2 because they both seem the same.

PS I'm looking to do basic things like: DEV 1, autoboot, logo skips, etc..

Just go with the Matrix Infinity. Support is more dependable.

Okay but still what technical features make the Matrix a better chip than Crystal?

Nothing, they both are the same. Crystal has one advantage which is automatic DNAS bypass which allows you to go online without patching up the game with its original disc id.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

Only I dont like about the crystal is that the config menu is on the memory card instead of onboard. Other than that its a awesome chip.

I would wait another week or so, to see what the upcoming CrystalChip 2.0pro looks like.

**gakhal79** · 07-12-2006,12:47 PM

Oh, really. What is the official release date of the Crystal 2.0?

**Jones23** · 07-12-2006,02:00 PM

Sadly there is no official release date yet. But they said it's comming soon.

matrix, you can boot multiple elf's using dev1 (triangle,r1,r2,l2 l1=dev2), force vga, anti-RCE, custom y position, iLogo (reminds me of ASUS mylogo).....ect....I prefer uLaunchELF over bootmanger anyways. the matrix team also tends to offer more support and frequently releases updated firmware.
