The Magic 3 was created sometime around 2002-03 for the Sony PlayStation 2. Its driven by a Parallax SX28AC microcontroller, a very powerful microcontroller at the time, competing with Microchip's line of microcontrollers. I suggest you have a read of HackADay's thread on Scenix, as it delves into the company's history and the range of products they released. https://hackaday.com/2022/08/17/chips-remembered-the-scenix-ubicom-parallax-sx/
Just for the shits and giggles and to preserve the history of this neat relic, I have decided to re-create my own version of the chip, in a more modern form-factor similar to most modern chips on the market like the Matrix Infinity and Modbo. All you need are a few things: SSOP-28 versions of the SX28AC (you can buy a stock of these on AliExpress nowadays for pennies), a 50MHz 3-pin resonator (either SMD or THT if you're lazy), and x2 39K resistors (0603, SMD).
Do whatever you want with these files, I cannot care less. Modify it, re-distribute, any other form of modifications. If you are installing this for your own personal use, do this at your own risk, no warranties are implied. The creator is not held responsible for any unexpected damages.
