SBOX Question

http://www.modchipspot.com/neokeyver5.htm

This is the standard diagram for the sbox/neokey that you will find on the net. They all say to remove the component. Have you tried it with the component?

Also, do you have to patch EVERY backup you play with the SBOX with the EA of Swap trick patcher, and if so, which patch do i use (EA or Swap Trick)?
