i either want to buy this chip http://www.gameworlddirect.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=184_185&products_id=2817 or this chip http://www.gameworlddirect.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=184_185&products_id=2818 my questions are - will they be able to boot ps2 backups? is it hard to upgrade firmware for your mod chip?
Infinity can boot PS2 backups, but homebrew version has to be flashed. Ive never done it, but apparantly you save flash onto CDROM insert disc into PS2 and follow on screen instructions.
yup the matrix is the best and it will play backups and to upgrade your firmware you just burn the iso from the matrx site to a cd-r stick in your ps2, press x, and it deletes the old firmware and installs the new stuff.
