Does the X-Arcade keyboard passthrough work with adapters?
« on: January 17, 2005, 02:07:01 am »
I was thinking about a solution to the whole P360-isn't-possible-on-X-Arcade-PCB problem, and I realized that I have an I-Pac as well that I bought a long while ago before I decided to go with the X-Arcade PCB for the ease of console-hookup, and thought that maybe perhaps I could use the two together. I don't have any console adapters yet, as I wanted to test the waters with the board itself before I invested any extra money in it. If anyone has the X-Arcade PCB and a console adapter, I'd like to know if you could test and see if using the keyboard passthrough can trigger console controller commands. Thanks!

An interesting thought to say the least but I doubt it would work.  In most cases a pass-thru is just that, a pass-thru meaning that input is not realy even recognized by the x-arcades's PCB at all...

I don't want to discourage you from trying to find out for sure though.  I'm mearly stating that you should not get your hopes up.  ;)

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Yeah, that was why I didn't just assume it would work, I figured I would ask just in case. I'm also not sure how their adapters work, it may be that the adapters just interperet the keystrokes the X-Arcade puts out, for all I know.
