Weird problem with IPAC: can
(1/2) > >>
Fat-Johnny:
I have had my SlikStik Classic for about 2-3 months now.  It has the 4-player IPAC inside.  I recently upgraded the IPAC EPROM

I would definitely email Andy about this.  He does check out this board but probably not as regularly as you're hoping.  I haven't heard of this problem before so I can only suggest emailing him.

Good luck

No grounds on P360's, FWIW!

yeah, no grounds on P360's.  And I am sure that the joys are hooked up right, because up,down,left,right (UDLR) all work well.

I dont think it is a problem with the joy because, like I said in original post, I swapped joys and still same problem.  When I map UDLR to the arrow keys, WinIPAC does not show me any diagonals.  When I map UDLR to any other keys (such as YNGJ), the WinIPAC software shows me that all of the diagonals function great.

Also, if I hold down the up arrow on the keyboard and then hold down the right arrow, I should see a "up-right" diagonal.  If the directionals are mapped to the arrows, even the keyboard arrow keys will not show a diagonal in the WinIPAC software.  If I remap UDLR to any other keys (such as YNGJ), reprogram the IPAC, and then depress Y (up) and then J (right), I DO get the "up-right" diagonal.

Summary:
[*]With directionals mapped to the 4 arrow keys, the WinIPAC software does not register a diagonal on P1 with the joy or the keyboard
[*]With the directionals mapped to YNGJ, I CAN register a diagonal on P1 with the joy and the keyboard[/list]

Maybe the WinIPAC software just doesnt see it the diagonal or report the diagonal correctly??  Maybe I will go home and launch a good 8-way game and see if it works OK.  Like SmashTV.  Start running "down", and then switch to diagonal "down-right" or "down-left".  Does the guy follow suit?

Any more ideas would be appreciated.  Weird,
FJ
