I'm an idiot

I'm building a mame cocktail cabinet and have just recieved an ipac4 in the mail.  I thought I needed the ipac4 because of the third control panel i was building for the side.  But now, I'm pretty sure I'm never going to be playing with four people at the same time while two of them have to tilt their heads to see the screen.  Why didn't I just buy a keywiz and save myself 30 bucks.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't feel like an idiot?  I could have still had the third panel and had everything hooked up to the player 1 and 2 controls.  I guess I can go button crazy on all the panels.

Still new to all of this so can someone tell me if my logic is correct.

orntar:

just save it for the next project, there is bound to be one.  ;D

Sounds like you could have gotten away with a KeyWiz or ipac2 for sure.  Why not save the ipac4 for a 4 player panel in the future and get the KeyWiz for what you are doing now?  Or just use the ipac4 for now and you can always pull it out and replace it with a keywiz if you want to use it for another project.  That way you aren't out any extra now.

But, I have 7 nieces and nephews running around all the time at my house so when they are jerking on another joystick on another panel it won't effect my gameplay.

If say the four joysticks were connected to only two inputs, they could be jerking around with the other one connected to that input and it would mess up my gameplay.

If that is right....
Man, I'm so smart.  I knew this would all work out.
