Glad I'm not the only one to experience this. I was dumb enough to put a regular button to power the system up on the panel. It was 10" away from the player one buttons on the opposite side of the panel from the normal 6 button layout, and I never thought for a second that it would be a problem. My 8 year old niece and brother in law were playing Mortal Kombat, and within 15 seconds she was hitting that button. Power switch is now inside the coin door, eventually going to get moved up to typical location on top of cabinet. I've personally had problems with the shifted inputs while playing import shooters with a buddy. Things are going fast, and start buttons are hit frequently. Been dropped out of the game a couple of times by quickly reaching for one of the start buttons while the sticks are in motion. I'm going to do away with all shifted functions eventually. |

I used to have P1Start+P2Start mapped to Reset... wow, that was a mistake on fighting games! Now the only shifted functions for the start buttons are P3Start and P4Start (for Track and Field, Hyper Sports, and (I believe) Trivial Pursuit). Most of the other shifted functions are innocuous, like Screenshot or Show FPS. Reset is shifted off the Exit button. Pause is the big exception; it has three shifted functions in addition to its regular Pause function. With the special Shift key in the upper left, it brings up the config menu; with the left pinball flipper it saves the game state, and with the right flipper it loads the game state. --Chris |

One of the biggest problems is Alt-Enter - P1B2-P3B3, which MAME uses work "Toggle Window Mode" open Tab-Inputs All Games, and set this to "NONE" and most problems go away (except shifted key issues). |
| Onji:
while we're on the subject, does anyone know how to completely disable the shift function on an ipac? |
| Matt Berry:
I can't remember if you can just not set a shift key or not. Worst case scenerio make sure you set all shifted keys the same as none shifted. |
