FAQ

Q: What is the latency when using a multitap?
A: Reading the state of 4 controllers through a multitap takes less than 1ms, so it makes no difference. It is as low as when reading a single controller. (That is, unless the multitap itself adds latency, but we don't know if it does...)

Q: Can I use a Megadrive multitap to connect more than 1 SMS or Atari controller?
A: No, unfortunately the Megadrive multitap only supports Megadrive controllers. To use more than 1 Atari or SMS controller, you will need one adapter per controller.

Q: Can I connect 4 adapters to concurrently use 4 Atari joysticks?
A: Yes! This has been reported to work fine with Atari800Win Plus 4.1.

Q: Does this adapter work with the C64 mini?
A: No, unfortunately it does not.
