OK, the default IPAC settings SUCK!
Magnet_Eye:
Ok, so I have had the defaults in my cab for a while. The worst is someone playing a game like 1943, or any other game that you push the joystick into the up position a lot (verticals), and then the guy dies and presses the Player One Start button. So, what does this do? It brings up the Volume/gamma/whatever for mame. and people dont understand and start hitting buttons and moving the joystick all over the place, making more problems for me!
I hate it! This example is the most common in my experience. I HATE IT!
Another one is people that start hitting the 5 and 6 buttons (while in MAMEWAH) for coins, before they are in the game! WTF? and this is a problem for MAMEWAH as it cycles lists and it screws everthing up!
MY GOD! I am having tons of problems with MAME, IPAC, and MAMEWAH! Someone needs to tell me a solution to this for a cab where people can just walk up and play and NOT F**k it all up.
Cant they think of any better buttons to use? WTH!? Man, this needs to change ASAP! I am tired of it getting all screwed up on me every night!
Please, someone tell me what to do!

do you need the shift functions? if not, disable it and reprogram the ipac. Remember that you have to set the jumper to ALT on the ipac to do have you're preferred config.
danny_galaga:
just change the settings to something you DO like. All you need is on ultimarcs site. easy!

If you don't like the MAME settings, set up your own. Make an instruction sheet for people who play your cab. Tell them personally that this does that, etc. Or, if you hate it so much, don't let anyone else use your cab. I don't see why you're getting so upset over this. Frustrating?.... yes... but calm down. Set a new shift key, make a dedicated shift key, disable them altogether.
And simply make fun of people who hit coin while in MameWah... wth are they doing? I wouldn't let anyone like that near my cab, that's for sure.

Agreed..... Since the world's smallest violin is in the shop perhaps you need to suck it up and quit complaining. Mamewah's keys are remappable, mame's keys are remappable and the ipac's keycodes are remappable. Your a smart boy, figure it out... sheesh!
