I´ve recently bought a ps2 slim. I´ve been told that the console was modded with a Murano Chip.

When I boot the console it appears under the logo an Infinity legend...but, they told me that this is not modded with a Matrix Infinity chip....???

So, is there any way (by soft) to check what modding chip I have without openning the console??

Thanks in advance!

not that i know of. Some chips have set up screens and such but you would have to know which chip it is to know how to get to it.
I have never heard of a Murano chip
Matrix Infinity on the other hand is a good chip.
see if any of these boot instructions work, if they do then it should be a Matrix Infinity.

Boot of PS2- PS1- DVD Movies:
Simply insert the Back-Up copy of your original game inside the PS2.
The infinity will recognize the kind of disk you inserted and select the appropriate boot system.

Turning Off the Infinity:
Press start from Joypad 1 until the writing "DISABLED" will appear on screen. The infinity is now disabled until PS2 turned off to Standby Position.

Fast Boot of PS2 Games:
Press select from Joypad 1.
PS2 Logo will be skipped and game will boot directly.

Launching Memory card applications:
Press Triangle from Joypad 1.

Forcing PS1/DVD mode:
Press the circle from Joypad 1.
(We placed this option just in case someone need to force the PS2 to boot in PS1/DVD mode).
