|
Multitap is a way to have up to 8 players on the Playstation 2, by hooking 4 players in each controller port.
|
|
|
|
|
Most games do not support this feature and some might not even work with it enabled.
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
4. Several new controllers called 1A to 1D and 2A to 2D will be enabled to map.
