occasional boot failure
My PS2 v9 with self installed Matrix Infinity very occasionally boots to a black screen, and a restart fixes it. I'm using an original Front Mission 4 disc and it does it consistantly, will only play after I reset the machine, then it's fine.
Is this somewhat normal, or is this going to create bigger problems for me down the road?

Yup.... that’s normal. The infinity has that little bug. Especially with original games... and even more so on the v9 and V10. Like lets say you have a original game in the drive on its closed and you have had the PS2 turned off (not in standby) for awhile, then you turn it on to standby and hit reset to boot the original since its already in the drive. It will boot and you will see the PS2 logo with the infinity version under it... but them when it goes to actually load the game it will just sit at a black screen right?? Well instead of turning your PS2 on with the reset button hit eject then tap reset.... works every time. Not a big deal really.

Are their any other cons to this chip? As its what I am looking at and it seems to have a lot of Pros, but I would still like to know the Cons.
Thanks

Hopefully this'll be fixed in a firmware update

The other con is that between the PS2 Logo and the boot of the actual game there is a 10 second wait at a black screen, you can make up for this by quickbooting the chip so that it skips at least the browser and PS2 logo which saves you ten seconds, then you just watch the black for 10 seconds and it evens out.
As far as I'm concerned these are very small issues.
