PLEASE HELP!
Hey all, First time posting here.. I really hope somebody can help me with my current issue.. I have built a custom arcade cabinet from scratch and I've run into an issue where I am absolutely stumped..
So I have wired all the joysticks and buttons on my control panel to the ipac ultimate board and I am using the win Ipac software to map everything.
Now, I have upgraded the firmware on the board to 1.39 which is supposed to enable gamepad use but in the top right corner next to my version number it says "keyboard only" which is making me think my problem is something having to do with this.
My problem is that I CAN actually map controls as gamepad controls and the controllers do show up in windows as usable devices.. but most of the controls are not what they should be. I map up down left and right for player one as dpad inputs and they show up in windows game controllers as buttons 11,12,13 and 14. I am pretty sure they should be showing up as the correct hat position. Also, I mapped the buttons according to the layout of a xbox controller and for some reason a couple of the buttons work as the directional controls..
So anyway, I just don't know exactly where my problem lies.. I have checked my wiring twice and everything seems to be wired fine, the fact that winipac says keyboard only makes me feel like the issue lies there.. can anybody shed some light on where my problem lies or whats goin on with the winipac software?
