Ipac to supergun?
bloodyviking77:
I think what you mean is using your controller effectively as the "keyboard" that can be connected to a JPAC (or IPAC) - i.e. daisy chaining.
(Obviously this means having two (fairly expensive) keyboard encoders when only one is required. Personally, I would re-wire direct to a JPAC)
However, whilst I have not done this myself, I think daisychaining should work - I think the "keyboard" connection on the JPAC is a pass-through. Unless you are changing from the current setup of your controller, you won't need to "setup" anything, it should "just work".
Good luck!

most superguns use hacked console controllers, but in reality since you have to build the supergun youself, you can make it goto any controls you want. i would make the controls goto a hacked db25 cable and have the other half come from your control panel.
a super gun is just:
an arcade power supply, and a jamma harness in a box with some test switch buttons wired up to the jamma harness and some sort of controls also hooked up to the jamma harness.
so you definatly can hook your joystick up to a supergun, it should be fairly easy, and by using the db25 switching method you can use your joystick with whatever other system you want by hacking it to a db25.
if you need further explaination let me know, its very easy.
