4 player options besides iPac
(1/6) > >>
Trip:
What other options are out there for a 4 player panel besides a keyboard emulation controller like ipac?  Been looking to get a Lono2 but apparently they were discontinued.

Currently have an iPac and just keep getting stupid keyboard conflict error outs when people bang on a lot of the buttons.

Any other affordable options?  Can you run two xin mo boards to do the same thing as a lono?

You can mix and match however you want.  Using multiple Xin-Mo's would simply show up as extra gamepads in your setup.  Mame doesn't really care what you have and you can configure the inputs to literally whatever you want.

Is it keyboard encoders in general that you are averse to, and if so, why?

Yeah, I want to stay away from keyboard encoders.  I have so many buttons, when get a big group of people drinking beer and they start banging on them, they manage to keep finding new combinations that cause some sort of windows error that crashes gameplay.  I hoping gamepad encoders will get rid of this issue.

What options are out there for these and where to get them?

Take a look at Groovy Game Gear's GP-Wiz.

The Xin-Mo things work just fine, I've used em.  But they are cheaply made.
PL1:
Did you disable the default shifted functions on the IPac?

That and changing a few other default keys (like Ctrl and Alt) could avoid tons of trouble caused by button-mashing.
