Ipac 4 Default Keycode Problems
xer0s:
I'm using a 3rd party PS/2 to USB adapter. I don't remember it coming with an ultimarc USB cable (it's been 8 years since I bought it).
I'll try the pass through port, then on a different computer if it doesn't work...
yotsuya:
I think serverdhed's advice is sound.
xer0s:
I went ahead and hooked it up to my old PC and programmed it. Not really the best solution, but it got the job done.
Thanks everyone...

We use the Mame default map. If we were to ship out boards with a different map to the Mame defaults, this would cause massive confusion for many users.
A third party PS/2 to USB converter cant be used with the I-PAC (or other PS/2 encoders) for the reasons explained on
www.ultimarc.com/ipacusb.html

Didn't mean any disrespect Andy, the ipac is an awesome product. I understand why it is that way, but it is a bit confusing at first until you understand what it happening....not really your fault as much as it is whoever decided on that lame default mame config. I bought an ipac 4 for my new pedestal cab I'm building, I can't wait to install and use it. (I did reprogram it already)
