I've heard different stories regarding MultiTap usage on the PS2.

Some stores I go to say that in terms of backward compatibility MultiTaps work just like the memory cards i.e. you have to use a PS2 multitap for PS2 games and PSOne MultiTaps for PSX games.

Other stores I've been to say that the PS2 Tap will work with both PS2 and PSX games, but the PSOne Tap will only work with PSX games.

Yet another variation I've heard is that both PSOne and PS2 MultiTaps work with both PS2 and PSX games, with the only difference being that DualShock will not be available if you're using the PSOne Tap.

Does anyone know for SURE which version is correct? *I'm on the verge of buying a PS2 MultiTap but I want to make sure that it'll work for PSX games since I don't have any PS2 games that use a MultiTap. *I only want to buy a PS2 one because I'm looking towards future games.

I've not tried to use a PSOne multitap for PS2 games but from what i hear it won't work for PS2 memory card usage at least. I do know that the PS2 multitap will work with both PSOne and PS2 games, MCs, and controllers. This would be your best bet to get since you know that you'll eventually get some PS2 games that you'll want to utilize this function with. Well, i hope that you enjoy posting and have fun gaming. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info. *Do you know whether or not there's advantages of going with Sony over a 3rd party MultiTap? *I mean it's just a multitap right? *It can't be incredibly hard to manufacture can it?
I was also wondering if anyone knew whether or not there's a multitap for PS2 available yet with a longer cord. *With my current setup 3" just won't do it.

That is weird because My PS2 wont use PS1 multi tap and it's weird because you can use PS1 controllers on a PS2.
