I've soldered a line inducer but wanted to make sure I'm doing everything right and test everything. Most guides I find are incomplete at best. The best one I found was this one that at least indicates the direction the inducer should be connected.

Here's my doubt however: all guides point the red line as the line to induce the voltage and given that the cable is unidirectional I take it matters which end of the cable is on the left side of the diagram as JR11 cables are crossed:

In one end the red cable is in position 3 (or 2 in a 4 line cable), and in the other, it is on position 4 (or 3)

I soldered according to what seems to be the convention, the left side of the diagram corresponding to position 3 and the right side to position 4. I however find no confirmation anywhere that my assumption is right and am afraid to test it and fry something on the Dreamcast modem.

Can anyone correct me or confirm me before I mess up?

What, did you solder directly to the modem?
To install your LVI you just cut into the middle of the red wire.

I know it's an old post, but still...

What I'm saying is, you're modifying the wire, not the pin. It doesn't matter whether it's in 3 or 4 position; a red wire is a red wire.
If you actually meant the rotation of the cable... RJ11 cords physically can't do that, they go in one way only.

    ewww key shops...
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why do you really want to use key shops nowadays? You're not really paying towards the companies who provided the keys, plus its very sketchy.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    https://gg.deals/game/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/ - I rather use the proper shops, but here are Key shops shown as well. They tell you the risks as well with each shop

    One of the keyshops is 95% off at the moment (probably humble bundle keys)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
