is there a way to control volume though ipac connection? maybe like a volume hack to turn up or down volume (sought like the microsoft keyboard internet pro?) thanks |

hmm.. i think he may be asking about the "i-pac", not the ipod. hence the whole "build your own arcade controls" motif.. anyhow, as i dont have an ipac or something similar, all i can offer is conjecture. have you tried programming it with winipac ipd? since the "volume" buttons on a windows multimedia keyboard do send actual keycodes, then i dont see why the ipac couldnt. however, this is only limited to windows as far as i know so would not be helpful for those running dos/linux setups. another drawback i can think of is in ps/2 mode, the ipac does not support key repeats on all inputs so you may end up tapping the volume button a whole lot instead of being able to hold it down. personally, i am planning on going with an actual volume knob ala oscar's inline hack. i prefer to have a real hardware solution rather than take up 2 coveted inputs for a "soft" solution.. |

well, im using usb ipac....i have a knob but it would be not located where i wanted to...so i figure i'll use shift command on my 3 admin buttons to do double work. just a thought...it ok that i press a button for 1 bar changing the voulme. i havnt hooked it up yet...just getting a headstart into it... |

Ummm I may be way off here but it sounds like you need to just activate "tab" or "~" to bring up MAME's volume setting. Then you would use your joystick left/right.... ?? |

There is another way. You can use a free application such as HotKeycontrol XP Which will let you set any keys to values you want. Hope this helps |
