i plan to get one in a v12 if sped starts to sell them

That is fantastic news! :)

Oh yes! I knew it wouldnt be long.

Oh well, so much for the Ghost2 :D . This is great news :)

hey! it supports dvd-rw! no other chip does that right?

No they all do.

Heck even some unmodded ps2s will read DVDRW.



Tyler! :p

I've still got some 1.0 Infinity's, anybody know how to update the firware on these to 1.36?

Tu upgrade the Infinity to V1.36 in a new PSTwo is pretty straght forward if you follow the .txt file included with the new V1.36 update. However you will need a modded PS2 and memory card to load the flash update to then use the memory card on the PSTwo after you have installed the Infinity in your PSTwo. Read the attached file, its from the Matrix team and comes with there v1.36 update. This method is only needed if the chip doesnt already have the v1.36 update, which all the currently produced MI's are support to come with now.

Cheerz for all that speed, I'm aware of that m8 but a post on ps2newz says you cant use this method for versions prior to 1.2.

Tis all hearsay at the mo but I'll obviously find out for myself l8r today lol

Did you check the install diagram for the PsTwo? It looks even easier than a v5 or v7!!

There aren't any on-pin solders.... just two capacitors and a bunch of pads.
If not for the lack of hard drive (hd loader is the bomb), i might be tempted to get one.

Maybe i'll start offering my services to install chips on these new models. A relative walk in the park after my v7

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to the whole PS2 modding scene so please forgive me if what I'm about to ask sounds dumb...

With the upgrade, can you load the flash update to the memory card with any PS2 thats fitted with any modchip, or does the modded PS2 need to have the Matrix Infinity chip in it.

I have one of the new PStwo's and a mate has an older v7 that I modded for him with a Magic 3 modchip a while ago. Can I use his PS2 to get the flash onto the memory card and then install the Matrix Infinity in my PStwo and update it?

I just want to clarify this before I order a chip. Thanks.

No it has to have an Infinity. All flashes are hardware specific, and besides, the Magic 3 isn't flashable...

Hope that helps... :)

Right anything older from the factory with a flash older then v1.2 wont be able to booot from the mem manger, you can look at the code date on the actell its self, a number of 0411 or higher will have the v1.2 firmware. The only way to get a V1.0 to flash to v1.36 is to install it in a V1-V10 console then un-install it and re-install it in a V12. We sold out of all our stock of V1.0 long ago thank goodness.

I'm not sure thats what he is asking, I think he just wants to use a chipped (any chip) V7 to load the flash upgrade to the memory card, then upgrade the Infinity with it in his V12.

I dont see why this wouldnt work, give it a try and let us know.
