So how is the chip?

I just got a new ps2 so i need a chip and now i must choose between a dms3, infinity and the 02.

This is an excellent mod.

Once i installed it, i turned on the PS2 and it did not work!
I said to myself ohhh fuck, but i went over the install again
and doubled up the main gnd/rst etc wires and it worked fine.

Without having to change modes to get all media types too work
is excellent, its like all your back-ups are original without changing modes.

my 2 cents.

You just need to use AWG 24 for GND only, and should be less than 1.5cm (if possible).

All the rest can be AWG 30 (standard wire for modding).

Of course, the wires must be good quality.

PS: This one is compatible with 10000/15000 & 18000 models, but needs to be tested. I'll do it when I got one these old and pretty rare models.

Don't forget Y point is CLK (clock).

Someone told this modchip isn't flashable.

Wrong!

This one is flashable. With 512Kb flashrom.

Cannot see that little IC with 8 pins ? Is this one.

Hi All,

Installed a sample around 2 weeks ago and it does exactly what it says on the tin.
Everything I threw at it loaded, PSX, DVD Movie (Any Region) and PS2 titles without any Reset presses etc.

[9HOMERSIMPSON9]

I know what wire too use,

but i had no awg 22 left (its not 24 i use) so i took a chance and just used the awg 30, but had too end up doubleing it up.

I've just fitted INFINITY mod in V10 model and it looks like this...

Who have succeeded launching PS2Reality Mediaplayer from memory card?

How do I proceed to?

I've successfully installed the program in MC but impossible to boot it.

Aerick: ya good test suggestion.

I know I will be getting my stock around tuesday. that will be one of the tests i will be doing, just inserting different media types and seeing how it handles all that.

[milerwan]

On v10, successful disc detection and boot anytime.

Another question...?

Show me picture of your install.

[9HOMERSIMPSON9]

Any thing i through at it, it boots it no problem.

From browser or from reset.

[9HOMERSIMPSON9]

NO NO NO!!!

If a chip is crap, then its crap!!!

I would not try and sell it incase i get alot off comebacks from them!!!

Im very happy with this new mod. I dont have any problems with it at the moment!!!
If i do incounter ANY problems at all i would not hesitate to tell people, but it has played any game that i have tryed so far + it played all the dvd films i tryed.
I have not tryed booting the same game a few times or anything like that, but any game i did try worked with no problems.

As for your other question i have not tryed to do anything else at the moment but boot rate off the games!!

So as soon as i try i will let you know.

No offense, but I look forward to results from others. From reading other posts from you, you appear to believe Matrix chips are the answer to everything. This is fine, but I'm wary of accepting something that sounds like sales propaganda like "Successful disc detection and boot anytime" in this case. I'd like actual numbers and if you say it "boots" every time, you're not doing what I asked as ejecting and closing from inside the browser doesn't cause the disc to boot. Also, I know that it's impossible for it to work 100% of the time, just given the nature of modchips and especially since it has so few wires on the mechacon. Chips fail sometimes, it's a simple fact. Some more than others though.

foundmy: could you try booting various medias from AR/whatever as well?

True that, I have a DUO in a v5 NTSC PS2, I rewired/rerouted the wires many times to see if it improves my boot rate. After each time, I do 30 to 40 boots (10 at a time then start again from standby) and I've managed to improve my boot rate from 70% to 85% with the same backup disc. What's interesting to note is that I've never gotten 10 consecutive boots out of the 3 or 4 sets of 10 boots, the closest I've gotten is 9/10.

So far ongoing rewiring/rerouting for "improvements" (check here) haven't resulted in a better boot rate so I'm thinking it's something else, like the laser or the media so I tried a TDK backup and I got the same boot rate. I guess that leaves the laser but I don't wanna mess with it...yet .

Or like you said, nothing's perfect.

So this means this chip is better than messia2 and dms3? or which one is still best

[silentlight]

Featurewise, the Infinity is definitely better but we don't know how stable or reliable it is yet.
