    Does anyone know how a PS2 multi-tap works, does it simply split the ports connections or is there more to it than that, I'd like to build one into my PS2 but I'd like to know if my ideas will be possible before i buy a multi-tap.

    thanks

    There has to be more to it than a simple split of the ports, there is some mechanism in there to avoid signal cross talk. I'd be surprised if a multi-tap could be made.

    By an enthusiast ;). They would be very complicated to make IMO, so i wouldn't try to find out how to make one, just buy one :)
