Conclusion/Final thoughts

First thing i would like to note is the installation took less time than other no-swap modchips ( only 18-20 wires ). Overall i thought the Infinity modchip met my expectations, although there were a few things i did not like. First off the system starts with a 10 second black screen. Secondly psx games do not boot exactly how the matrix team claims, if a psx game is booted from the browser menu the game spins up and loads then the system reboots back to the 10 second black screen then finally boots the game. In my opinion i would rather just hold the reset button to boot a psx game. Dvd movies do boot directly without rebooting though. Other features i liked are " fast boot ", by holding the select button games skip the ps2 logo and go directly to the game. Stealth mode feature was also nice, after holding the start button during boot up the word " Disabled" appears on the tv screen. Launching memory card applications is also a nice feature. All in all i was impressed by this modchip, but it reminded me a lot of the DMS3... The chip retails for about $50.00 depending where you buy it from.
