matrix infinity has v12 suppert

[Terry Bogard]

Thanks Dutch Demon for explaining it again. I actually thought of that afterwards about trying to get the stuff onto the memory card before buying the chip, but I thought somebody might know off hand. I won't be able to get to my friends place until early next week. I was a bit worried about killing his Magic too if something went wrong.

On another note, my supplier has since emailed me saying they are going to be try modding a PStwo today and will let me know how it goes. Hopefully they would've updated the chips already. Saves me having to do it.

Oh and btw Dutch, I'm pretty savvy when it comes to Xbox modding (Noob at PS2 ) and just for your interest, the Xbox mods are a complete bios replacement. I think the PS2 mods are just an add-on to the existing bios, at least the early mods were. The new ones might be a total replacement too.

as far as i know, the magic3 doesn't have anything flashable, so i dont think it's possible to mess anything up. But, you know, if it turns out to BE flashable, you should be able to flash it back to its original state too. might be a bit harder to find the original flash though

No the magic is not flashable, not with out an SX key or a hardware type of flashing device anyway.

Just tell your friend to download the flash himself and burn it to a disc him self and get back to you with the results. I'm pretty sure this will work as it shouldnt matter cuz your just booting a dev app really and any chip can do that, then its just writing the flash to the mem card.

I wish I had an empty mem card or I would be able to tell you if this works myself. I'm going to be picking one up tomorrow just for this reason.

Hey guys, this news just came out this week but...

The V12 apparently has an even MORE shoddy laser than v9 and v10
versions of the playstation. There have been a few scattered reports of
the lasers burning out on them.

Its not known whether this is a result of the increased power needed to read backup media or whether its caused by the chip. The articles I read mentioned the Matrix Infinity, but its probably safe to say that it affects other chips as well.

If you are planning to mod your PSTwo, then you might want to hold off till they figure out what is going on.
