Install tips & avoiding escape/crashes/errors w/shift function of Ipac
kaptainsteve:
I think that part of the problem has been the 'priority' setting in Maximus. I moved it to high and since haven't experienced the problem as much as I used to , but still do experience it fairly regularly. I also tried lowering the Mame priority setting... but still get the problem intermittantly. So maybe it is/was a focus problem with Maximus running in the background not getting enough priority? Too bad no one seems to really have tackled this issue yet... or have they???
tdarcade:
Not trying to hijack this thread but I can't use Maximus at all with the JPAC. I remapped everything per the video tutorial but it made no difference. When the JPAC is plugged and I load Maximus it just hangs. When the JPAC is not plugged in and I run Maximus it runs fine. The JPAC works fine with Daphne (the emulator I am currently using). Any thoughts? Thanks.
kaptainsteve:
Ever get the feeling that maybe the Ultimarc stuff and Maximus Arcade just don't play well together?
I did.
In fact my Ipacs didn't play well with Maximus or Mala, just too buggy.
Ditch the Ipacs/Jpacs, and that will solve your problem.
I did.
I just bought the cheapo Chinese encoder off ebay for 20bux.

It got rid of all the escape, focus and error issues that I found common with both my early version Ipacs. They were virtually unusable. I've used them for years, but the problems just sort of crept into the Ipacs as they aged or if that has to do with newer Mames or Windows updates or whatever? To be honest I don't care, I'm not the manufacture, it was just wasting all my time trying to fix it.
Also, not sure if the new USB Ipacs have solved or circumvented these issues and would love to hear from those who know or have them installed in their cabinets now with Max or Mala and a current version of Mame. It might be that the USB hookup bypasses these issue?
