Matrix MXL2?

[SurfDrifter]

OK, i'll try to clarify things.
When i bought (a month ago) the PS2, i didn't have a clue about PS2 modding. The only thing i knew that there was a swapless chip called messiah.

So, when I first opened the PS2 was to see what it was to compare images from the net, to make sure it was the real thing.

The "problem" with Matrix MXL2 is that is very similar at first glance(remember, i was a rookie) with messiah2. I didn't know back then how many solder points messiah2 have, to start counting.

So, i thought, OK it was messiah2 and started reading things for messiah2 on the net, finding a solution to my problems. All this until yesterday, when i went to another guy and opened my PS2 and told me: "This is not messiah2". We talked and analysed me which were the differences between the 2 chips and how to distinguish them.

Therefore, the first modinstaller had sold me a Matrix MXL2 as being messiah2. All the time i had Matrix MXL2 in the PS2, that's why he gave me other booting instructions, than the ones that i read in several pages for messiah2

I hope you understood now!
