Ipac2, should I use as gamepad or KB enc as I run PC games?
« on: February 25, 2018, 04:17:17 am »
I have a sega naomi cabinet which used to have a Maximus arcade PC inside using a cheap encoder. I've replaced that PC with one running Hyperspin and an Ipac2. I'm in the process of configuring it and some of my PC games are causing me troubles set as KB enc. Mortal Kombat complete for example can't seem to get 2 player on one KB.

I was using KB enc mode as it seemed the best way to navigate hyperspin however maybe as I play quite a few PC games, SFXT,SF5,MKX,VT etc then I would be better set as gamepad fw? Anyone care to comment?g

If you need to run gamepad, you might be interested in new firmware which emulates two gamepads, one each side of the board, in addition to keyboard, mouse, volume/power etc.

This is not yet on our site but I can send it by email: andy@ultimarc.com

That sounds perfect. I put it in gamepad mode but found it only emulates one gamepad so no good.
