Button conf. HELP PLZ
« on: February 19, 2011, 07:08:27 am »
Hi need some help im alittle lost.

I'm useing an I-PAC 4 (56 Inputs) 
the standard  Ultimate 4-player control panel with pinball holes.
my questions are:

5 pinball holes and 2 exit buttons , 3 buttons not sure where to put them.
and only 4 inputs left. one on each play.


1) there a 5th joystick not sure where that goes.  ( just a side note whats that joystick for?)

2) I have 5 pinball holes 4 for flippers and one for the ball where should i wire them into?

3) 3 buttons im not sure where to wire up?

4) and 2 exit buttons



so tell if im wrong  the 5th joystick gets wired into player one also.
im guessing pinballs to player 1 buttons 1 - 5
and 2 exit buttons can get wired together on the same input
and that would leave me 3 inputs for the 3 buttons.

5th stick is probably a dedicated 4 way, and yes it'd be wired into player 1 spot. Unless you're playing other emulators, I don't think there are any 4 player games that use more than 4 buttons.

Zero, it looks to me like those 3 buttons to the right of the 4-way are meant to be used with the 4-way, you could double those up with Player 1 Switch 1, 2 and 3.  Otherwise, picture playing Donkey Kong... you're going to want to use that 4-way stick, but you're going to have to reach down to Player 1 Switch for Jump... it's going to feel weird, not to mention it forces you to play left-handed (or right-handed depending on how you look at it... let's say, it forces you to play "goofy foot").
