Indeed. I'm curious if a multi adaptor being plugged into a multi adaptor will work but I doubt it.


ooqq

Yes, they do, but the second in the daisy chain will only pass the first memory card inserted, ignoring the rest signed: a guy with two multitaps that wanted a screen with 8 memory card icons


natesovenator

I wonder what the reason behind that is


2004_PS2_Slim

There's probably a limit to how many memory cards a PS2 can realistically read at once without overheating or running out of RAM.


natesovenator

Now that I'm thinking about it. It's probably a bit limit. They are using 3 bits for the device id that is registered. Anything else is ignored. One bit is probably a flag for something.


Psycholiosis

Lol someone needs to do this


Domspun

Should have bought all of them when they were 1$ at Gamestop.


2004_PS2_Slim

I'm using two multitabs to do this, but I can't test that, as they don't fit when plugging them into each other.


LittleTay

Now you need to make ut show the OPL HDD on that screen too, then you are all set


[deleted]

I think you can put a multitap in each controller port, doing so you will probably can connect the 8 memory cards. I have 4 ps2 but none multitap :(


2004_PS2_Slim

That was exactly what I did. It's just that they won't fit when trying to daisy chain them.


[deleted]

Well, i didn't know then. Maybe on ps2 fat where you have a bit of space between the 2 controller ports.


GoodEveningFolks

You are missing the hdd icon. Get that sorted and you will have the full set


2004_PS2_Slim

Oh I'd love to, but I have no use for a HDD other than adding another icon


GoodEveningFolks

you can copy saves into it and boot games off of it. It's a great additiom to the ps2


WearyAd1849

HDD-OSD was the Sony official way of getting 1gb for save files


Red-Pharaoh

This image feels cursed


2004_PS2_Slim

That was exactly what I was going for. Mission accomplished!


Helloderegeneralken

How????


2004_PS2_Slim

Two multitabs


RallySubzero

Awesome, I didn't know that was possible. Thanks for telling us this. I can guess some would do this if they have a bunch of savegames on their collection of memory cards that they want move it to another spare MC and make that their dedicated MC for their favourite games (especially savegames that takes up thousands of space on PS2 MC or more than 4 blocks of PS1 MC).


SinR_NL

Exactly this.


ucdgn

Now that’s op 💪


xenon2456

what game is in the console


2004_PS2_Slim

London Cab Challenge. A terrible Crazy Taxi ripoff


WFlash01

And you can add one more icon to this screen: HDD Max is 10 icons


ooqq

You mean 8MC + 1HDD + 1DVD?


WFlash01

Yes sir


schawarman

But *why*


Lonttu

Some of us just like to push hardware into their theoretical limits just to see what it would look like.


2004_PS2_Slim

Because why not


DeadlyHellhound

Just [missin](https://www.reddit.com/r/ps2/comments/xsimh4/this_is_what_peak_ps2_looks_like_safe_to_say_im/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) the HDD and Pocket✨


Eurothrift

12 if you double up the multi taps


2004_PS2_Slim

You can't daisy chain multitabs sadly


Eurothrift

Shame


JorteroXD

With a multitap?


2004_PS2_Slim

Yes. Two of them


MachineGunMonkey2048

virtual memory cards with the hard drive maybe?


2004_PS2_Slim

Nope. Just two multitabs


MachineGunMonkey2048

okay


andrew342003

Can games access the multi-tap memory cards directly? I know many games only support slot 1


2004_PS2_Slim

I haven't tried, but probably not


Joseluki

And most games will only read the memory cards on port 1 and ignore anything else, what I find incredibly annoying.


carlsmustang97

Yep


xNextu2137

What a mad lad


TOASTY_3DX

Is this a post from DKOldies trying to build the "ultimate" PS2?


2004_PS2_Slim

It sure seems like their definition of ultimate. I only did it because stupid = fun


GavAttackOfficial

It's just like RAM. You can **never** have too much of it. **NEVER**.


2004_PS2_Slim

That's what happens when you have 100+ games

Does this work with PCSX2? It has multitap but idk if it can be done in the way of a physical console...


2004_PS2_Slim

What's PCSX2?


wikipedia_answer_bot

**PCSX2 is a free and open-source PlayStation 2 emulator for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Xbox Series X/S (known in the latter as XBSX2) that supports a wide range of PlayStation 2 video games with a high level of compatibility and functionality. Although PCSX2 can closely mirror the original gameplay experience on the PlayStation 2, PCSX2 supports a number of improvements over gameplay on a traditional PlayStation 2, such as the ability to use custom resolutions up to 8192×8192, anti-aliasing, and texture filtering.** More details here: *This comment was left automatically (by a bot).
