Be careful with your I-pac shift key setup

Richy!:
I just connected my 1p start button to the p1 7 button, then i reconfigered mame and had a seperate shift key.
Bill S:
I jsut want to chime in that I agree.  A friend and I had this happen 2 times the other day before  I wised up and remapped the shifted P2 start to not be escape.  I too have an ESC key and did not even need this function.  It was a real pisser.
But, it's fixed and will not happen again to me!
chris:
question for you guys, did you have to remap every single key or can you just remap the escape key?
Bill S:
You can simply re-map the escape key.  
Actually, I just re-mapped the shifted 2 key away from escape to p2 start.  That way when P2 hits the button to start, it starts whether P1 is hitting his button at the same time or not.

I like to use the command line tools via ctrl-alt-P.  There are instructions posted at ultimarc's website telling how to program shift functions.

I can never remember exactly what you type to re-map the keys, or I'd be happy to tell you here.
Andy Warne:
The reasoning for this default shift key setup is that it's the only practical layout which enables use of the various functions with no dedicated buttons, and with a basic panel.
I figured that if someone wants to have extra buttons and maybe a dedicated shift or esc button, they would not mind re-programming the board to suit. It's set up by default in the simplest way to get a basic panel working.
