Matrix Trident FAT diagrams. And dashboard 14719 Slim support  files.

 

Courtesy of www.consoleopen.com we have now available the FAT installation diagrams for the Matrix Trident.

You can get them in our DOWNLOAD area or HERE plus HERE.

 

 

 

More trident reviews from:

EURASIA.NU                 ENGLISH

360-GR.COM                GREEK

 

 

Finally, a clarification on SLIM 14719 dashboard support.

You DO NOT need to update your Matrix Glitcher Firmware to enable glitching of 14719 dashboard, all you need to do is to reflash your NAND after having patched it with the new build.py file available HERE or from our DOWNLOAD section.

Hopefully this will clarify the many doubts people was having till now :)

 

Happy hacking!

MATRIX TRIDENT diagram error for generic Glitcher devices.

 

Unfortunately due to an error, the diagram to install the TRIDENT for generic Glitcher devices is wrong.

Installing the TRIDENT according the faulty diagram will not make the glitch chip work correctly.

 

The revised diagram is available into the new release of the installation tutorial:

"Matrix Trident HW Installation Tutorial v1.1.pdf"

MATRIX TRIDENT manual and other news.

 

We have released the  MATRIX TRIDENT (PSI) installation and instruction manual. Also available is the diagram to use the MATRIX TRIDENT with any other glitch device available on the market.

You can get both from our DOWNLOAD section. (EDIT: Fixed the installation manual download link, sorry about that guys ! :-) )

 

We are completing also a software to enable the easy management of bad blocks when dumping the NAND and rewriting it to the MATRIX TRIDENT. This software will handle all the work in case your NAND has bad blocks tht need to be reallocated.

 

We also would like to inform everyone that the tests to restore glitch features to SLIM and FAT consoles that have been updated with the 14717/14719 update are proceeding at fast peace.

More tests are required to ensure that every bug has been ironed out, but we will have soon good news for owners of Glitch devices.

Announcing the MATRIX TRIDENT.

 

We are proud to announce the MATRIX TRIDENT (PSI), the first TRIPLE NAND solution available for Xbox360.

 

The TRIDENT will transform your Xbox360 16 MB NAND in 3 independent 16 MB banks that can be read and write with any available SPI reader/writer solution using software tools like Nandpro 2.0 and Nandpro 3.0.

 

The trident can work together with any Glitcher solution present in the market.

A flat cable is supplied to directly connect it to the Matrix GLitcher II, for enhanced performances.

 

It features a quick solder board solution for the Trinity slim  and an external switch with led indicators to quickly choose which one of the THREE banks of NAND to use.

With the Matrix Trident you can assign one bank to the Original NAND, the second bank to boot a modified dashboard and the third NAND bank to boot Xell or a second dashboard.

 

Whether you use it for fun or for hacking purposes, the Trident is going to be the tool of choice to add extra NAND capacity to your Xbox360.

 

 

 

 

FEATURES:

- Allows for the use of 3 Independent banks of NAND on the Xbox 360.

- No need to cut any tracks on the Xbox360 motherboard.

- Extenal switch to quickly change among the 3 NANDs

- Compatible with every glitching solution present in the market, including Matrix Glitcher II.

- Compatible with any xbox360 with 16 MB NAND.

- Easy to install thanks to quicksolder point design.

- Blocks can be read / write with any SPI hardware present in the market.

- Compatible with Nandpro 2.0 and 3.0 software.

 

 

 

Installation Diagram for SLIM Xbox360 is already available in the DOWNLOAD section of the website. Other models diagram will be uploaded in few hours.  A complete installation Tutorial and usage for the MATRIX TRIDENT will be online by tomorrow.

 

Finally an announcement for console owners that had the RGH feature disabled due to recent 14717 dashboard upgrade:

 

FAT Xbox360:

A new solution to re-enable RGH and Trident Style additional NAND on Fat consoles is under advanced development.

 

SLIM Xbox360:

A working solution is already under test and we will release it right after completing all the needed tests. Fortunately, due to hardware difference, the changes on Slim were not drastically as the one implemented on the Fat.

Announcing the Matrix Glitcher II

 

We are proud to announce the availability of the Matrix Glitcher II.

Thanks to the hundreds of feedbacks we received from our distributors and testers around the world, we decided to release an updated version of the Matrix Glitcher.

 

Some  of the new features include:

 

·          Preprogrammed with a brand new and advanced Matrix Glitching code.

·          Compatible with all Xbox360 SLIM and FAT models (except Corona and Xenon motherboard)

·          On board switch to quickly select console type and model.

·          Future-proof updateable with external USB programmer (not included).

·          After-installation fine tuning of glitch timings to better fit each different console (external USB programmer needed)

·          Unique Serial code identification for each Glitcher II verifiable online.

 

By connecting the GLitcher II to a PC (using the same external programmer as the one used in the Matrix Freedom PCB), the installer will be able to cycle through 7 different timings for each console models of the Fat Xbox360 and 3 different timings settings for the Slim Xbox360.

This will allow the installers to fine tune the Glitcher II to the best available settings for each console.

 

More features will be given with future software releases, to enable an even more deep interaction of the Matrix Glitcher II with your Xbox360. 

 

    

 

Goods are in stock and already shipping to our official resellers. You can find the nearest one to you on our Resellers page.

 

 

 

Installation Diagrams are already available here.  A small tutorial on the use of the External Programmer to connect the Matrix Glitcher II to the PC and how to use the “Fine Tuning” feature will be available shortly.

 

Hope you all will enjoy this new product as much as we enjoyed developing it.

Matrix Freedom PCB is now fully in stock!

 

Our long awaited Replacement PCB for Xbox360 Liteon DG-16D4S drives is now fully in stock.

Matrix Glitcher boot times on Slim Xbox360.

 

A very smart guy who goes by the nick “ameel” discovered an interesting and unusual solution to the unreliable boot times problem that all current glitching solutions suffer from on slim Xbox 360s.

 

The problem with glitching slim consoles resides in the need to send a glitch signal with some very precise parameters that are hard to control on the simple XC2C64A cpld, especially due to the higher clock frequency and the currently used injection point.

Increasing the wire length "fixes" this problem probably due to the added distortion, ringing, etc. that is added to the glitching signal. This will have to be analyzed in more details with the right equipment.
For the moment being, what's important is that it's a possible fix that many people seems to be very happy with, so we give our warm congratulations to “ameel” for this ingenuous solution!
Original thread available here:

http://www.xboxhacker.org/index.php?topic=17213.0

 

For everyone installing a Matrix Glicher in a Slim Xbox360, simply make the wire for PAD A of a length of between 25-30 cm.

Everything else is unchanged.

Matrix Glitcher copies issues.

 

We are receiving tons of e-Mail complaining about the presence of Matrix Glitcher copies present in the market.

Many of these copies are even made with re-marked Xilinx parts. Unfortunately there is nothing we can really do at the moment except to help you to identify the copies.

What you CAN do, to be sure to purchase an original product, is to purchase only from our official reseller list and to avoid websites like Rambogames and Dealextreme that are offering cheap imitations.

 

We do stand 100% behind the quality of our products, and we do take full responsibility and offer a full exchange program for any faulty piece, but we cannot take responsibility for the issues with the copies.

Want to know how quick the Matrix Glitcher is?

 

Some people wrote to us asking how quick the Matrix Glitcher is in booting Xell.

Here is a video we found on the web. We believe that a third party test done by a professional installer is worth more than a thousand words we could wrote:  Matrix Glitcher Test     (Alternate link)

 

Have fun! :)

We are back.

After several years since we gave our last contribution to the scene we decided that it was time to come back as we think that there is still lot of work to be done to bring innovation and quality in the console market.
After all we do still love this job too much : ).

A big difference from the past will be that we are not going to focus anymore on a single console, but we are going to spread our product line across all the consoles available on the market.

Our first product is going to be based on the GliGli hack. Maybe many do not fully realize it, but this guy made a hell of an Engineering work to get to that result and I personally want to congratulate him for having found something that is worth to be called an “Hack” !

To celebrate him and our comeback we decided to call this first new product “The Matrix Glitcher”.

If you are asking yourself why, you should remember “The Matrix” movie:

Trinity: A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

So, are you ready for the change?
