I-PAC/4 4th player not working
Negativecreep0:
quick questions here. Which is better the ps/2 I-PAC or Usb?
cdbrown:
May I suggest you create a new folder within the mame/ctrlr folder
Copy the std.ini file from mame/ctrlr into your new folder
Rename this to default.ini
Edit it to include player 4 controls as they are actually mapped to joypad. Also the 4th button on player 3 is mapped to a joypad button as well.
Then in mame32 change the Options-Default Game Option-Controllers and set My Controls to the new folder name.
Or mame change the mame.ini
### Input device options ###
ctrlr newfoldername
I've had troubles with the tab menus before.

I see a Pandora's box with this one. Short answer is opinions vary. Andy Warne has lately been favoring USB. RandyT prefers PS/2. (Both say for performance reasons apart from what their encoders support).
I have seen some performance issues with my USB trackballs and have heard some reports of problems (usually fixable) with the USB I-PAC that don't exist in PS/2.
My personal advice would be to use PS/2 for an arcade cab, and maybe USB for a desktop controller.

USB through an Optipac?

I have one of the newest IPACS, hooked up through USB. I haven't run into any problems playing 1-player fighters (which is the hardest I've pushed it). Now if I only had friends, I could comment further...

Should have clarified - PC Trackballs (Glorified upside-down mouse) to USB through its own internal electronics.
