Patience... It's not gone forever. You've only been logged on to BYOAC for 7 1/2 hours, go cruise the Project Announcements. |

I don't know the answer to the OP's question. I suspect that it's not a standard USB cable because there seems to be no USB jack on any of the I-Pac4 pictures I have seen. And if were pitching alternatives, I think a pair degenetron's diy encoders can satisfy iserian's needs. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,120362.0.html |

It's not a standard USB cable, it's a USB to PS/2. You either get a PS/2 to PS/2 cable or if you want a USB cable, you pay the $4 and get a PS/2 to USB. |

If you're in a hurry in this hobby, you're in the wrong hobby. The Lono2 is not an "unknown Chinese product", it was designed and made to Paradise's specs in the USA. I have an I-PAC, Lono, and Lono2... The Lonos give a better bang for the buck (in the case of a 4 player setup or other setup that requires a high number of inputs). The Lono2 has 72 inputs that the computer sees as 4 different controllers, whereas the I-PAC has 56 inputs all seen as one keyboard. The Lono2 comes with ready made harnesses for plug and play capability (I'm an advocate against screw terminals ;)), and a USB cable that doesn't cost an additional $4. No, it doesn't have MAME's default inputs programmed into it (it's a gamepad device), but a few minutes in the tab menu and it's ready to roll. --- Quote from: MTPPC on September 06, 2012, 10:16:57 am ---And if were pitching alternatives, I think a pair degenetron's diy encoders can satisfy iserian's needs. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,120362.0.html --- End quote --- I'm all for DIY, but in another of iserian's threads he was a little reluctant to make his own harnesses. I think a plug and play solution would be his best bet. |

Thanks Trip, looks like it's something I will need to order with the Ipac4. --- Quote from: Trip on September 06, 2012, 10:18:47 am ---It's not a standard USB cable, it's a USB to PS/2.
