I had all sorts of problems with mine at first because and ended up remapping all of the keys in table mode. Then I went back and made sure everything jived in the layout mode.

Yeah I may have to give that a try, something is weird.

When you go into table mode (key assignment) you will be able to clearly see all of the crossed wires because when you press a button it will light up all of the keys it is assigned to and change them. If you didn't wire each button to the exact terminal it was supposed to go to on the ipac, I would recommend reassigning all of the keys to the mame defaults instead of tailoring mame to your keys. This will make life easier across the board as other apps use those keys as defaults too.

Turns out it was a PEBKAC situation :-\
I had the board set to PS2 mode when it was actually plugged in via USB, so when I was hitting program it wasn't updating the IPAC, oops. As soon as I fixed that everything went as smooth as could be.
Turns out I didn't have to worry about an admin panel too much in the end as I am using shifted keys to do the basics. P1 Start + P2 Start exits all my emulators using a macro to hit a couple of assigned keys, also the same action goes 'back' in Hyperspin. The default P1 plus joystick movement gets my tab menu in Mame so it's very simple and elegant. I still need to address adding credits as I am currently doing that with the two buttons on the front of the control panel but they will eventually be dedicated to pinball shoot and launch ball buttons.
Also I need to set two shifted keys that will launch my rotation bat scripts in case I get a game that doesn't rotate the screen properly, I can just shift-key the P1 joystick left and right to rotate the panel myself, assuming I will use AHK for this.
Andy from Ultimarc is sending me the firmware for my PACLED64 that I managed to bork up so that should help me get the lighting squared away too.
Still working on the tablet. The app I want to use for software admin keys is being rewritten to work better for Mame, Visual Pinball and Hyperspin. Also I'll be using it for cab volume control, mute, pause etc. It's also going to control other things in the room like my Sonos sound system, Plex media server on my Projector, check email and who knows what else.

Got all the keys and LEDs set up now but I'm having a strange issue that has just started.
Whenever I press the P1 Coin or P1 Start button in Mame it just quits and reloads the rom. P1 Start is mapped to the '1' key and it is also my shift key. P1 coin is mapped to the '5' key. I dont get this issue with the P2 Coins or Start buttons. I checked the UI controls and can't see keys 1 or 5 mapped to anything odd. ???
Also, I have LEDBlinky set up but it doesn't show the game buttons when I fire up Mame games, is that just because it is a trial or have I missed a critical setting?

MIght be helpful if you show some of your setup screens for led blinky and hyperspin.....
griffindodd:
Ok got the reset issue sorted, it was some rogue keys in the mame INI, glad I have that out of the way.
In LEDBlinky I have found the 0.141 Controller.xml at controls.acradecontrols.com but I can't point LEDBlinky Controller file to it as it only expects .cfg files. Am I getting the two mixed up? I understand I need the controller file to tell LEDBlinky which buttons go to which games.
