Definitions
A. DEV1 – This is the ability to boot an ELF file from memory card.
B. DEV2 – This is the ability to boot an ELF file from HDD.
C. Auto ATAD Patching – This is a commonly misconceived function. It is not used to help games be more compatible but it is used to us a non-official HDD with programs that require the official $ony HDD, such as the upgraded $ony Browser 2.0, and the official Linux.
D. Clone – This is an imitation of an original mod chip usually made of cheaper less stable materials. And it uses the original mod chip’s firmware. DO NOT UPGRADE FIRMWARE OR ENTER CONFIGURATION MENU ON CLONES. DOING SO WILL BRICK THE CHIP RENDERING IT USELESS. Also the only way to know if you have a clone is to open the system up and look at the chip. If it doesn’t look like this, you have a clone.
Shortcut Buttons
Even though this chip has the automatic media detection feature, there will sometimes be a game or movie that will not boot under normal circumstances. This list is to allow you to force it to boot.

After the time elapses Infinity will boot the PS2 normally.
Circle - Boots Chip/system into PSX DVD Video mode. This forces the PS2 to either play PS1 games or DVD movies.
Triangle - Forces the system to boot the Infinity Manager (if installed - To install, please refer to the Infinity Manager section in this tutorial)
Cross - Forces the system to bypass settings and boot to the Sony Browser with the chip enabled.
Start - This Disables the chip. Once this is done, tap the standby button to reset the system to finish disabling the chip. To Re-enable the chip you must place the system into standby.
Select - This forces a Fast boot on PS2 games. Basicly skipping the startup animation and PLaystaion 2 Logo on disc boot.
R1 - This boots a homebrew ELF file from the first memory card (mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF) If installed - To install, please refer to the DEV1 section of this tutorial.
L1 - This boots a homebrew ELF file from the hard drive if installed (hdd0:/__boot/boot.elf) To install, please refer to the DEV2 section of this tutorial.
To enter the Configuration Menu, hold TRIANGLE AND CIRCLE at power on.
