Okay, so then I need a short adapter for tap to system, then extensions from controller to turbo tap?

That should work, but there are no guarantees when it comes to tap signal problems.

Hmm so even if I were to get all PC duo pieces, but use an extension from tap to system,it may still not work?

Mitsu, I'm now confused what you're trying to do.  Are you trying to use PCE peripherals on your American TG-16?

No, sorry for the confusion.
I have a PCE Duo. I'm currently using TG16 peripherals on it since I had a Tg16 before getting the duo. So to use those, I'm using an adapter/extension cable (TG16 to PCE Duo).
So I figured the best way to fix it all would be to just get rid of all of that and get all PCE duo stuff. But if any extension cause issues, then it seems I'm SOL.

Yeah, any extension cable (longer than a stubby converter cable) between the tap and the system is trouble; some have reported it working fine and dandy, but most have had problems like those you reported.  Swapping in a controller's cord doesn't seem to have as many problems and replacement cables are relatively cheap, so it might be worth a shot.

You can also just make a reverse tap.

I've used an extension to the multitap plenty of times and never had any problems. Is this a common occurrence or bad or something?

I've never tried between the tap and system but know I've never had problems using them from the controller to the tap. And that's with a mix of controllers to a tg16 both U.S. and pce controllers with adapters

Same here. I have a 6ft official one . Works no problems. I've only tried 2 players though, not 3 or 4.
