    It's either a joke or myth repeated as truth.

    I'm back with some new info.
    My console came back from the modder and I can say that I'm realy impress by this modchip because it's very obscure and very little info you can find on the internet...
    It's very simple to use:
    - for playing PlayStation 2 games just power on the console;
    - for playing PlayStation 1 games just reset the console 2 times.
    It doesn't have a menu like Modbo, Matrix or other modchips.
    I've tested some PlayStation 2 NTSC games (all Mortal Kombat's, Clock Tower 3, all Castlevania, etc) and all are working flawlessly. That was the first test.
    The second test was to test some PlayStation 1 games.
    All of them worked but sadly the modchip doesn't have the "PSX Screen Fix" code implemented so the NTSC games are view like 16:9 resolution; PAL games are working/view perfectly.
    Because the console must be power cycle two times the PS1 "improvements" like "Disc Speed" and "Texture Mapping" cannot be saved/used.
    I will test more to see how the modchip will behave.

    Sounds worse than a modbo.

    Modbo will direct boot ps1 and ps2 and has screen fixes etc

    Worse is a good word for this modchip but for the moment he does his job to play NTSC games on a PAL console. I have tested NTSC-J games and they work.
    I will try to test the console with DVD-9 games and multi disc games.
    By the way Bad_Ad84 for what was used "PS2 SCREEN FIX" and "Y SCREEN FIX" on Modbo/Matrix?
    I want to test those features to see if the M7 modchip have implemented.

    UPDATE - searching on the internet I have find some details about those options:

    PS2 Screen fix

    Options:
    a. Off – Uses system default.
    b. NTSC – Used to force NTSC signal format on all games/software
    c. PAL60 – Used to force NTSC signal format with color correction on PAL televisions that can handle NTSC signals.
    d. VGA – Use if you have a Blaze VGA adapter or on official one that came with the Linux Kit.
    e. Color – Uses your PS2's default region signal with color correction.
    f. PAL – Forces stanard PAL TV signal on all games/software

    Y Screen Fix
    Options:
    a. Off – uses software defaut for region.
    b. Auto – Automaticly adjust the Y axis on Imported games.
    c. –20 through +20 – Manually adjusts Y axis on Imported games.

    My TV is a Sony Trinitron that support NTSC over composite, s-video and strangely RF-out (but with one glitch, image is buzzing on static images or something like that; i don't have the black and white problem; I know this because I've tried my PAL Sega Dreamcast console with few NTSC games over RF, that's the only cable I have in my house)

    So those options are important if I use this tv model???
