6 players with one Multitab... Possible or not?

The funracer Battle Cross offers a six playermode and some time ago I also heard that a few sportgames are also playable with six persons.

Now I am reading this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNES_Multitap
The 6 playermode of battle cross doesnt work and the Naki/Fire 6 player Multitab is kind of fake... oookay.

Did anybody play Battle Cross with 6 players so far? Is it really not possible?
To all hardwarespecialist out there: are this information legit?

I imagine you would have to plug in two multitaps to get six players. I mean, d4s created an 8 player game. I don't know of any commercial game that has more than five players, though. According to this review, the game only supports five players (so one bike is always computer controlled).

There is also Bomberman 3 which features a 5 player mode, and this Wikipedia article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNES_Multitap also referes to 8 player as the maximum number of controllers.

I think anybody with a multitap and this game or a flashcart could proove if it is a fake or not.

Edit: What do you think about that

Gandalf:
There are a lot of five player games on SNES but I am talking about 6 players, which is a very special case.

About the 8 player quiz, already talked about this five days ago in the N Warp Daisakusen thread: http://forum.snesfreaks.com/viewtopic.php?f=157&t=8645

I wish somebody could do a article or video which proves that the Nakitab is just a fake.

The TribalTap by Naki has been thorougly investigated by neviksti some years ago. He actually decapped the logic chip inside the device to prove that it is a fraud device. See the following links for details:

Now this is what I am talking about! Even more information than I expected.
Thanks for pointing this out with these references.
A little bit disappointing though.
