Errm what are you trying to do? I recently had some trouble with this, but I realised that ben's book was actually wrong about which two pins to connect to "jump" the switch.

ben can not be wrong its the playstation that is wrong

Possible yes. But I don't think they would change which pins get connected when the switch is on, on the PAL version only.

How did you know I was in the UK?

Sorry, I looked at the picture in the book, and the traces are different to mine. So either you are right, or I am using a different version of the PSone.

Wait, I just need to know, each function of the pin, so I can properly hook it up to a DPDT switch.

Ok. 2 of the pins are just for mounting it, the other 2 are connected when the switch is on. On the bottom of the motherboard, when viewing with the player 1 & 2 ports towards you, the top 2 pins are the ones connected with the switch on. On the american version, the 2 pins on the left are connected when the switch is down.

Hope that helps.
