Multitap PS2 BlueRetro

[souzafl]

Friends, a question: I know that it is possible to synchronize 4 joysticks, but only 2 work, as all the diagrams I found only show the connection of the 2 PS2 inputs. Would there be any way to use the other ESP32 GPIOs, and connect them to each input of the Multitap PS2, and for it to use the 4 joysticks for multiplayer games? My PS2 is model 50001, with an esp32 module placed internally.

To me that seems logical.

I would like to mod a multitap with two blue retro cores and install internally in the PS2 console. You would need to figure out how to enable/disable the multitap for certain games. Maybe assign a button combo to enable or disable the multitap. I have been thinking about this. It would be sweet to see the PS2s function more like a modern console and not be fumbling with connecting/disconnecting devices on these old consoles.

I commented not becuase I know anything but just trying to help.

Ps1 multitap is supported, but PS2 is not possible because it's too fast for the ESP32 to handle.

This would certainly be worth an own section in the docs. Not the ps2-multitap-question. but "general console limitations (by system)". while basically everyone knows that an NES-Zapper only works on CRTs, the multitap-limitation is something noone would have expected i think.

...so, if someone makes a 4-player-adapter and plugs this into a multitap (or even better, adds an esp inside a multitap), that should work, right?
