This isn't correct..... Patches are for more than just playing backups without a mod chip...
You have PAL-NTSC patches which will be required for you to be able to play a PAL game on your NTSC TV (or the game will play in black and white or it will roll)(unless you have a multi-system tv)
JAP games are in NTSC format anyway so you are correct about not having to patch them.
There are EA patches for EA games.....There are Translation Patches (ie.. to convert a JAP game to English speaking etc..)
The Magic 3 will play all games without patching but the main one is PAL games.... It will play them BUT they won't display correctly...
So the majority of the time, you are correct, no need to worry about patching, but there are certain times that patching comes in handy regardless of what chip you have...
