Octapus #8: This is a mod requiring only 8 SOLDER POINTS that allows you to play all of your PS1 and PS2 back-ups with no-swap!

Interesting design. It’s not a clip as you described but more like the plug-mods of old, that has the option of being upgrades to some what of a solder mod with only 8 wires that need to me soldered to make it totally no swap. Or they have the other 2 setups, the 0 wire one which you will still have to swap just like the old plug-mods, or a 3 wire install which you only have to swap for PS2 games. But they claim that the 8 wire set up it no-swap. Once again not a bad idea, it just looks like hell, and I would be weary of all those extra components hanging off the side of the board, and adding extra gadgets to lessen the soldering difficulty just adds extra variables for something to become defective or work loose and what not.
