modbo? or infinity?

**squallseifer** · 05-13-2005,02:33 AM

just came back from a respected installer in australia today with my ps2 slim modded using an "infinity".

I was wondering is there anyway of distinguising between these two, apart from a) trying to upgrade the firmware
or
b) trying to save settings
because i really dont want to have to deal with a dead chip.

Some info: when i boot up a game, it says under the Playstation sign "Infinity 1.38"

Even a clone chip will say infinity 1.38 etc under logo, I think the only real way to tell is to open it

call the installer and ask them.

i was told its a "genuine" MI
but when i asked him if the chip were flash upgradable and whether the settings can be changed and saved on the chip, they just replied by saying (in a defensive tone) why i would want to those such things.

so i came to the conclusion that if they aren't confident in answering those questions then they must be using clones.

If you wont open it you have 2 choices;
1)If you trust them, upgrade it and hope for the best
2)If you dont leave well alone
