PS2 -> PSTwo multitap mod

[Demon-Xanth]

Equipment needed:
Small point philips head screwdriver

Time:
About 30 seconds.

Situation:
The PS2 and PSTwo have different controller port spacing so the multitaps aren't cross compatible out of the box. The PSTwo's controller ports are recessed about 0.1".

Instructions
With a small philips head screwdriver, remove the two screws on the lower cover, pop the controller part off of it's tabs
Pull it forward so the tabs are infront of the housing
Put the cover back on.

Now the PS2 multitap is PSTwo compatible. If you need to use it on a PS2, reverse the procedure by placing the tabs back into the holes.

<-- personally confirmed.

Pics?

I don't have a camera that can take upclose pics. But imagine the connector part stuck out a little further. And that's it.

OK, I only ask because I don't have it in front of me and it's hard to visualize.
I'm sure it'll be clearer when I actually do it.

Nice tip. Hopefully this will keep those bastards from Sony trying to mine those damn multitaps again. They did it in the first place by not offering 4 ports on the machine in the first place like EVERYONE ELSE.

yup, and those multitap thing is expensive and aint compatible with the new version, damn sony.
Wait does this meant that the ps2 controller wont be compatible with pstwo system.

The controllers are compatible, the only reason why the multitap isn't is physical spacing.
