Player one push button

StragoRx:

I just finished wiring my CP and everything is great except my P1 start push button only activates when I release the button (after I press it down and it pops back up I get signal), I know this is not a big deal because you never really need to hold it down for anything, but what should i trouble shoot?. I use the Ipac-2 and I i am sure its not the microswitch because i changed that out to see.

Thanks

yotsuya:

No, I'm pretty sure that's right. The I-Pac P1 acts a a shift button.

StragoRx:

I thought about that while I was at work, if so that's good to know...just didn't want anything to be shorted or whatever..

Thanks

PL1:

Yotsuya nailed it.

Since the IPac uses P1 Start as the shift button, it doesn't output the keystroke until the button is released because you may be trying to use a shifted function like P1 Coin before starting a 2 player game, etc.

The KeyWiz and KADE both have a dedicated shift input. (Shazaaam! and HWB respectively)

A dedicated shift input doesn't have an associated unshifted keystroke to delay until the button is released.

You don't have that button wired on the NC (normally closed) contact do you?
