What mod chips are good

[RockBox]

Personally, I think the Messiah 2 pro is overrated. It has the same feature set as many other chips (including the Duos) but is supposed to be harder to install. I think it's more of a name recognition thing- people like Messiah because it's Messiah.

If you want something easy and just need to play your backups, I think Duo/Duo2 is what'd be best.

For top-of the line chips with a lot of features, you have DMS3 and Matrix Infinity. They're both great, but the Infinity has auto-boot; it figures out what kind of media you but in and boots in the right mode automatically. So, I'd say that for a high-end chip, the Infinity is the way.

I did e-mail them a week back and they said it'd only be a few days now until the update was complete. Is it still not up?

The bottom of this taken from the Matrix Team website might explain something...

Like most of you already know the V1.3 Upgrade for the Infinity is practically ready from the development team since more than one month.
The problem is that the chief responsible of implementing the Upgrade code underwent a small surgical operation for a minor form of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
He was supposed to fully recover about two weeks ago, but until know he still is not able to work.
We have now a new assistant programmer that is undergoing training with him now.
We hope to complete his training and recover all the lost time as soon as possible.
