#### SIO Games
+
+The SIO ports on two consoles can be connected with an SCPH-1040 Link Cable (known as Taisen Cable, or "Fight Cable" in Japan) for multiplayer functionality on games that support this method. This was used by a small number of games in the console's lifecycle, but inconveniently required a second console and copy of the game.

The serial port is used (for 2-player link) by Wipeout 2097 (that game
accidently assumes BAUDs based on 64\*1024\*1025 Hz rather than on 600h\*44100
Hz).
