3 switch mod. An old TUT I made way back when.

[CloneD]

I wrote a tut back in 2007. If a MOD or someone finds this informative I could post it in the tut section although it is way outdated. It did work very well, I really liked the mod while I had it, but then I sold it to a friend and he sold it after that. I don't know what happen to the system after that. First off, I have NO idea if this works with newer firmware, however, I am curious if it does. Forgive my skills back then, I was still learning. Let me know what you think, good or bad, I can take it, but be gentle please.


THIS IS A TUTORIAL FOR MAINTAINING ORIGINAL FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PS3 WHILE ALSO ALLOWING FOR THE PLAYING OF LEGAL BACKUPS ON LATE MODEL PS3'S THAT HAVE BACKWARDS COMPATABILITY.


pizzag is the founder of this mod as far as I know and he gets all the credit as far as I'm concerned.

The user pizzag has posted a tutorial that I found helpful you can find it here

along with a lot of helpful pics and/or use the pics I made to aid you in doing the 3 switch mod also.

I credit alien1201 found at afterdawn.com for the drawing of the switch assembly without this I would have been lost on how to add the other switches for original functionality. Thank you very much.

Everything I bought from Radio Shack or Walmart.

I have not seen the switches mounted in such a way so please give credit where it's due.
(ME as far as I know am the first to mount switches in such a way )


P.S. No harm was done to the exterior of the console only wires being cut...that's it.

On to the pics....
