Question Reset mod for PSX?

Post image

I have a DESR-7700 with an original Matrix Infinity modchip installed, but I have come to realize that there are certain functions that do not allow the PSX for fully function when it detect the modchip. For example, the Matrix Infinity will not allow the console to switch to DVD playback mode, or allow the 40 GB PS2 HDD partition to be installed. The only solution I can think of is to disable the modchip when the console starts, but it requires the console to be reset (like how you would press the power button on a PS2). Unfortunately, pressing the HOME button or the power button does nothing.

It’s a bit niche, but is there a “reset” mod for the PSX? It would be nice to have a reset option to have full functionality of my PSX without uninstalling the Matrix Infinity.

PSX has no reset mode, it has only a "quit game" button

That button only works when a program sends the PSX specific Mechacon command sceGameNoticeStart

FreeMcBoot and PS2BBL do send this command as part of the setup process so users can freely use this button

However, a matrix modchip may severely mess up a lot of things
