iPAC vs USB controllers

GnobarEl:

Dear All,
thanks for your reply.

In fact, I wanted to wast the less money possible, and if I have 2 commands, would be nice to use them.
I was thinking to do the gamepack hack. I played some games with both commands and most of them were very nice. Some, don't know why, have a bit of lag, non responsive keys.

The only point that make me thinking, is the fact "randomly change positions each time you boot your computer"
I have to rethink all plans again.

Thank you all for all the advises!

This can be solved by using "Joytokey" to map keyboard shortcuts to your gamepad. The software recognizes the controllers individually and wont get them mixed up during a boot issue or unplugging them.

If you have the money, get a proper encoder. If not, start soldering!  :cheers:

Pretty sure that only works if you are using different gamepads.

I did a stress test on this while building my nephew's cab and they use the same gamepad...I will do some more testing then and look at all of the device information again between the two controllers. Thanks for bringing this up.
