Stupid Question, Would the limitation stop if you had a PS/2 to USB adapter? Ohh just saw the post above. |

--- Quote from: 05SRT4 on May 22, 2012, 06:50:22 pm ---I did some tinkering with my I/O voltage settings and nothing worked while use the 2 PS/2 inputs, But I didn't notice that whenever I boot my PC with a PS/2 keyboard attached to the PS/2 config cable on the tankstick (I'm sure owners know what I mean) then both the Joysticks/buttons and trackball work. I don't know why having the keyboard attached would change anything. Does this work with anyone else? --- End quote --- I made a custom cable after the original disappeared. It must have something to do with grounding as it doesn't work with PS/2 without a PS/2 keyboard connected, but works fine with USB via the PS3 2-1 and Xbox 360 via the 5-1 and all the consoles. I have both the USB and PS/2 versions and have the keyboard problem with the PS/2 version. |

To add to Pinballjim's post, especially in older PC's, it is not unheard of that unplugging and plugging in a ps/2 device while the power is on can fry a computer. |

I really wish the PS/2 port would work for me. I have a friend that originally had his Tankstick plugged in via USB but when we found out the button limitation, he switched to his PS/2 port and now does have unlimited simultaneous button presses. I have no PS/2 ports but I bought a cheap PCI card with PS/2 ports from Newegg. It didn't work after several attempts and reboots. A standard PS/2 keyboard did work in the card though. Does anyone know if a better card would make a difference here? On X-Gaming's website, I don't see this PS/2 to USB adapter but I fear that since they are running through USB I would have the same 6 button limitation I am getting now through USB. |

I know it's ~$40 and a pain in the ass, but you could upgrade it with an I-PAC or a keywiz or something, I installed an I-PAC in my x-arcade |
