is dms3 the only chip that will work with the hard drive?
 

my bro wants to get the ps2 hd but i hear most chips will not work if the hd is in. are there any chips other than dms3 that will work with a hd?

Matrix infinity.IMO the best chip on the market.

I can confirm that the Matrix Infinity with the new v1.2 flash will work with the HDD. When booting games just hold down select which will enable fast boot and trick the HDD and you will be able to play your back-ups. However don’t be confused by what I just said. Let me repeat, you can play your back-ups with out having to remove the HDD; this doesn’t mean you can play your back-ups online. To do this you will still need to disable the chip and use you’re original, unless you want to risk the DNAS patches.

hey,

i would like 2 see duo do that to there range of chips.

It won't matter sh*t if this HDLoader thing works... :D

is the Matrix Infinity flash upgradablle like dms3? and can if force ntsc or pal video?

It's upgradeable...

i was gonna swap my duo for matrix but its gonna cost to much 2 do it.
