2nd player port?

Post by Kurt_ »

Should I put one in? Yes or no? I'm short for space and would need to buy a port, but some games aren't the same with one player.

Pros/Cons?

Pros: Some games aren't the same with one player

Cons: You have to buy a port, short on space

put one in, they aren't THAT huge, plus you can always get one from an extension cord.

I say yes!

You could use an RJ45 connector (ethernet) to build a dongle for the player 2 controller port, saving space and eliminating a con. :P

Pros: Some games aren't the same with one player

Cons: You have to buy a port

Then with Bic's method, you also could put an AV out in the ethernet port.
Pros: Some games aren't the same with one player, saves space
Cons: A little more wiring, have to buy a port
Meh, I don't post much.

I'd do it, and don't wimp out with an Ethernet port. Seriously, showing off a portable is so much better when other people can join in the fun! And you'll regret any feature you leave out at one time or another. At least I know I would. :D
