JPac SHIFT Issue
FrizzleFried:
Hello folks... long time no post.
I am having (and have been having) an issue with my MAME cab with JPAC where my SHIFT options stop working after a load up and a few games...
They will work after each load up, so it's NOT a physical connection issue.... but sometime during gameplay the SHIFT stops working preventing me from SHIFT commanding me out of MAME (P1 + P2 START)... I have to lift the CP and escape manually. P1 and P2 show up independently but I can not get P1 + P2 SHIFT option to work... unless I reboot and we're back to square one.
Any ideas?

Hey! I intermittently have had the exact same issue. Windows XP on your cab PC? It seemed to happen with certain games like Ibara. As part of troubleshooting I turned off sticky and repeat keys and their notifications and it seemed to vanish, but since I made the changes RL got busy and haven't had time to thoroughly test. Hope this helps.

Hey frizzle,what front end are you using?this has happened to me a few times as well using hyperspin,in my case tho its not the ipac thats causing issues,rather it was hyperlaunch buggin out on me.

I use MALA.

I've had this issue with every single JPAC I've ever owned.
I ended up rewiring Player 1 start to another input on the JPAC and using combinations of inputs in MAME to do the admin functions. That solution always works.
