So you have your control panel going into a switch box, then to the PSX and the DC. And for some reason, when switched to either one, they both have to be powered on for the ground through the CP to work? Is that right?

That is weird if so. Does the ground go through the switchbox? If it's being switched over, how could it even care? In any case thanks for letting us know.

Oh yeees it cares  >:(

You gotta switch every single buttons when you wanna do dreamcast+psx together.

I will be adding the whole "step by step" guide in my site very soon. ;)
