Linking fusion?
In short - does fusion support linked play? If not might have to go down the network adapter route, which franksly sounds like a pain in the ass.
Really want to set up a wipeout night with a couple of tv's and head to head racing, seems daft that 2097 can be linked but not fusion - maybe i should go and buy a couple of PSones's?

In short - no, it doesn't.
but if you link wipeout3 or wo3se you can play 4 players - 2 on each tv!

Wellcome to the forum colhodg
Fusion can't be linked on 2 tvs so i ll enjoy you to find few ps ( the grey ones not the slimest cause they don t have ilink feature ) and a cable, sure you ll love playing 2097 ilink which is the best game of the whole wipeout, imo.

Interesting... I've been playing W3O and 3SE via ilink on numerous occasions, but I've never seen any option to have 4 players play simultaneously. Maybe you can explain to me how this is supposed to work, zargz.Originally Posted by zargz

I think on wo3 you have to input a code .. not sure thoguh was long time ..
but on SE as long as you got the controllers, 1 and 2, plugged in it'll work.
a bit more than 2 years ago we played 3 players at stins house with coolLover.
2 on a big tv the 3rd on a little one - was great fun!

Yes, on W3O you have to enter "link" as the player name (P1, P2, doesn't matter) then you unlock the "link" menu option. In SE it's a menu option at all times. Should be right there, near "eliminator" IIRC.
You might need to have the link cable in for it to show up, but with 2 on each screen you can get the 4 player going.

I think you mean PS2, fusion came out on PS2, i have the game and as far as i am aware, it does not support any multiplayer, which is a shame as the games destructive nature, i think, would be perfect for a multiplayer game.

luckily, pawn shops or a gamestore (if your lucky, mind you.) may have the ol' grey. production of the beast has stopped in 2005! you may fork out a fair bit, as they are now an antique!

£3.99 and less on Ebay, on amazon i've seen brand new copies of fusion and 3SE,........ from sony!

I think he means PS1s. Read it again. He implies that he should get 2097 and play through links on a console capable of linking. However, if I recall correctly, and as stated by others, it would require PSXs [original Playstations] to get the link capability.

FuSion has a split-screen multi

Thanks for the help there, seems a real shame you can't link fusion but with the help of ebay and cash converters think i could have a 2 screen racing night for less than £20 (2 x PSX, 2 x W/O 2097 and link cable).
Re: wipeout 3 - do you just need one copy to run linked (2 screen) play or two?
And, yeah - fusion has split screen but planning to make a big night of it with a few screens.

With WO3 you need 2 copies to play 2 player linked, but it's difficult to set up and really buggy. Luckily you can play 2 player splitscreen with just one copy (and one screen and one PS1), something that WOXL cannot boast.
WO64 beats 'em both with 4 player splitscreen (!!) but you need a large screen to make it worthwhile.
