| Control Panel Side Buttons for Pinball and Wiring |
| (1/1) |
| MamedInCanada:
I've seen control panels with one or two buttons on each side. From my research, these are used for pinball games mostly. Is that right? So there's four buttons, but 5 actions: left paddle, right paddle, tilt left, tilt right, and TILT. What would be the key codes for these 5 actions? Can I wire these to an iPAC2? I only have 1A,1B,2A,2B still open, which can be programmed, but 5 actions. Or do I wire them to existing keycodes/buttons used? Confused :dizzy: |

Pretty simple to achieve, I have wired up Left/Right Tilt and Paddle buttons on my CP. Simply wire the buttons in to existing buttons on your IPAC2 so P1 button1 = Left Paddle, P1 Button2 = Right Paddle etc. I then re-define the key strokes in Future Pinball. As yet I dont have a Centre Tilt but may install a PlumbBob or another button for that. Hope this helps. |

If you nudge too much, the game tilts -- scoring stops and play ends. For more reading on the subject, search "flipper" and username "PL1". ;D Scott |
