MAGIC 3 : don't need wires for PS1 !

**xim2** · 12-28-2002,09:45 AM

Hi !

We are a lot of guy who don't need the PS1 functions with a MAGIC 3.
Could someone tell us which are those wire points and is it possible to not wire them ???

So we will have only the MAGIC 3 PS2 functions !

Thanks for reply !

thats what we are talking about he does not want to play ps1 games so he just needs to omit the s wire scex signal injection.

Bottom line is only S=SCEx can be disconnected fot PD1 / PSX functions.

RESET is needed to detect whether or not you need to switch the Magic 3 off (holdng for 5 seconds) so that you can play DVD9 games or boot a DVD movie.
