Ipac controller issue

It does indeed look like the issues are SW related,I had double checked all the wiring connections, but it just seemed odd to me that there must be lots of people all running Hyperspin on their cabinets, and those cabinets will have an ipac controller installed.  My message to Andy was twofold really, one in case he might see something glaring out that I was missing, but also I couldn't understand why the message 'can't open the driver' comes up when I try to reassign the design panel in accord with what the Passmark keyboard test recorded.

In fairness, Andy did respond immediately and suggested I perhaps install Mame, or at least some neutral software other than Hyperspin, just to at least determine whether the default settings are OK.  I think this is a good suggestion, there are no faults evident on the controllers LED, the wiring checks out on a MM, the cabinet does show up up in the keyboard test, so what he suggests makes sense, but like I say above, someone must have this issue sorted out.  I have also tried on the Hyperspin site, there are some good people over there, very helpful and I like Hyperspin very much, so I'll keep trying.  This site is very good too, and I'll be a regular visitor from now on and thanks for the suggestions in the replies.

I assume this isn't the problem but I will advise you anyways.  Check to make sure your chipset drivers are installed in your device manager.  Make sure there aren't any devices that are coming up with the unknown device in there as well.

I had problems with my ipac and other peripherals on my control panel and reinstalling my chipset drivers seemed to fix most of them.  Now my hyperspin works for the most part, just need to find time next week to install hyperlaunch 3.


Good Luck.

' Make sure there aren't any devices that are coming up with the unknown device in there as well.'

This was another issue that I had been aware of, and it wasn't a factor, but thanks anyway.  I'm quite sure now the Ipac controller is working properly, from it's own LED monitoring to the Passmark keyboard test.  The problems lie within Hyperspin and while I'm sure many have this sorted, I believe many don't, or at least may well have their HS just partially working as you say.  I have used other FE's without too much trouble, but there's just something about HS that bugs me, I like the finished article, I now think also that there are many who for some reason, don't like it at all. perhaps because it can be problematical.  Ah well, thanks for your comments, back to the cabinet.........wonder whether it'll fit through the window (inspired by a video of TNT throwing their unwanted gear off the top of a building lol)

I get what you are saying.....Hyperspin is great looking once it is all configured and ready to go, but getting there and maintaining it is a lot of work.  The other few FE I have tried didn't seem to be that complicated either.

Do you have the newest version of Hyperlaunch?  I was asking questions about my install over at their forums and in order to be up to snuff, I need the newest version which is pretty much a reinstall of everything.  The one guy said the only thing I will be taking with me from the old install is the roms.  All legal roms of course.  ;)


If you are going to fix the problem, you may as well be on the newest version. 

Good Luck.

Haven't really looked into this Peja, but since your post I looked and thought what the..............   My current version is 2.25 I think, or something like that.  I looked at a Utube video and it's a complete revamp, again, looks superb, but will take a bit of getting through, I won't even have time to look again for the next few days, but then I'll try again :banghead:
