magic2 with on/off switch....
I desolder the 5v wire that attaches to the 5v spot onthe magic2 and runs to a 5v spot on the motherboard. I then solder a 3" wire to that 5v spot on the magic2. Now i have 2 wires, 1 coming from the 5v spot on the magic2 and 1 wire coming from the 5v spot on the motherboard. I ran both wires thru a hole of the PS2 case. Now if i want to play a copy, i use a alligator clip to hold both wires together. But i want to play an original online then i separate those 2 wires. I tried an on/off switch but it didnt work. I used my original Everquest online adventures. went online, dna$ ran and i passed.
is there any harm in doing it this way? someone posted a differnet method of using the reset and cutting a trace an that.

Other than the fact that this method is ghetto, your probably riskin some sort of fire hazard. Maybe the switch you originally used was faulty. Try another switch.

I dont think there'd be any harm with a switch. As long as the wires are secure and such.

you shouldnt need flux. just get a big nib touch it on the switch for like 5 seconds apply solder and wack the wire in it. Be fine
