Title: Turbo Tap and extension cable
Post by: Twood1130 on November 23, 2010, 03:32:50 PM

One day, my friends and I were about to play Bomberman, but found the controller cables weren't long enough.

I had a brilliant idea, or so i thought, I would plug my Turbo Tap into my lone extension cable. Then we would all have enough cord to be a decent distance from the tv.

After plugging it in, the system acted bizarre, controller one was controlling all of the bombers at the same time. Similar things happen with the game dungeon explorers.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Hey there. Yes the Turbotap does not work properly with an extension cord. There is a mod where you can mod the tap to have a longer cable. Do a search and you will find more information.
