Matrix Mode 3 Won't Switch Back To X2 Bios
« on: April 21, 2003, 12:35:00 AM »
Mode 3 (Dip switch 1 ON, 2 OFF) (LED: Green =Matrix, Red =Original) Swap mode
This mode works as follows:
On every power up the Matrix “bios” is loaded indicated by the Green LED. To switch
to the original bios the user must load a game and then press eject, at this time the
LED will turn Red indicating that the original bios is active. To switch back the user
may either turn off and on the console or repeat the above.


If your doing this Dunno what is wrong, maybe it is the chip...But it is supposed to be red for original bios...In mode 3

Try to move the switches back and fro a couple times maybe they are dodgy and stuck in the off position...Alignment mode1... If your on a ver 1.1 box that may explain the led colours...going red/green/red.. You are definately in mode 3 not 1.??????
Also go back to mode 2 and see if the thing boots evox bios still....

Yep, the original BIOS works fine, and the LED is red. It's getting it back to the Matrix BIOS and a green LED that's the problem. Even after switching it off and back on.

No no, it is impossible to get back to the modified BIOS after the original loads in mode 3 when the console is on. To get back to the modified BIOS, you have turn the console off, and then back on.
