Ipac2 and keyboard conflict
Drnick:
OK lets start this at the beginning
1) Have you checked your buttons/sticks are not configured for normally closed rather then normally open
2) What happens when you only have the joystick connected, does notepad behave the same when you waggle the sticks around. You should get 1 character for each button/joystick switch press. if it starts and doesnt stop until another button is pressed I would go back to 1)
Chiefcob:
Thanks DrNick
All my switches were configured to normally closed.The NC and NO both looked very similar the only way to tell the difference is by the open circuit symbol on the side of the switch thanks a lot mate!
One other question is now that I've got the controls sorted out trying to configure the joystick controls for hyper spin in hyper hq isn't going well it won't recognize my joystick inputs or button inputs at all as notepad does.Any suggestions?
Drnick:
For hyperspin you need to set the keys same as they are set on the ipac. I don't think that you would use the joystick option as you are using an IPAC which is seen as a keyboard interface. (I on the other hand use Joystick as I have a Xin-Mo seen as a game controller) So if you work out what is up,down.left,right etc in notepad you can then set the keyboard in HS the same.
Hope this helps, if not holla out again and I will look into it some more.
Chiefcob:
Thanks again Dr Nick controls are running really well now.
All the contols are configured and run in hypespin accordingly.
I just have one more bug left with my controls and that is exiting a game once it is up and running.Do I have too configure the exit button in mame to be the same as my exit arcade button?
Thanks again! :)
Drnick:
You don't have to set them the same but it will make life easier for you. You could even set mame to a 2 button press. For example I hold down Player 1 start and Player 1 credit to exit.
