| Hooch:
I'm building a 4 player mame cabinet, based on several designs floating around. I ordered the Ipac4, but now realize it may not have enough inputs. Player 1 & 2 have 6 buttons each while players 3 & 4 have 3 buttons each. The joysticks are 8 way. That alone is 50 inputs. Then the 4 start buttons along with 2 buttons for each side of the coin mechanism (let me know if this doesn't use a spot) comes to 56, I haven't even gotten to the mouse buttons or admin buttons. I only need 2 admin buttons pause and quit (unless someone can convince me I need more) and I suppose I could share those with mouse left and right with the aid of a shift button, but that still leaves me 2 short. Any ideas, or am I stuck with adding on an Ipac2? I'm trying to decide if I want to add a fan or vent to the angled section above the TV. Any suggestions. BTW here is the brief documentation so far of my project. http://www.exv.net Thanks, Jeff |

8-way joysticks only have 4 switches. To go up-right the up and the right switches are pressed... ;) |

Mouse buttons do not hook up to IPAC. You would need the optipac for that. (or some other optical interface or mouse hack) |

Thanks for the quick replies. I have to say out of the many online communities I've been a part of, this appears to be the most helpful and most courteous I have seen. I've only been trolling around on the boards for about a week or two, but so far I love it. Another quick question. How many people use caster wheels, and does it help, also does it rock when you are playing with intensity? |
