Difference between original ps2 multi tap and new slimline mult-tap?

May be...

i have a ps2 slim(new version of the ps2) and i heard an old ps2 multi tap wont work with the new ps2



it would be great if someone could also add pictures

You can tell the difference with how they look, the fat version has the memory card slot further out than the controller slot. The slim version has the memory card slot and controller card slot about the same distance.



Both multi-taps are the same distance apart height wise, but the controller portion comes out further on the slim version (fat version doesn't come out as far).



PS2 fat multi-tap (which is compatible with a PS1): http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-2-Mult… On this picture, the bottom part (controller port) is shorter than the top part (memory card port).



PS2 slim multi-tap: http://www.amazon.com/New-Sony-Playstati… On this picture, the top part (memory card port) is about the same distance as the bottom part (controller port).



In the second picture the cable is upside down. To make sure the multi-tap is compatible with your PS2, make sure it says it is for model numbers 70000 and 90000. These are both the slim model versions, and the only versions the slim multi-tap will work with (and make sure the two ports are close to the same length, not offset like a step).

it won't, the gap distance between the mem card and controller is too wide
