Double up IPAC encoders?
<< < (4/5) > >>
Lilwolf:
You CAN daisy chain them

But I don't believe you can configure the one farthest away from the keyboard.

This isn't a big deal unless your going hotswappable or something similar. 

Also.  Consider selling the IPac2.  You might be able to get 1/2 of the price of a ipac4 (haven't looked at prices recently).  The resale value of them are usually VERY good.  5-10 bucks cheaper then new + shipping costs and it will probably go in a day on the buyselltrade board.

Hes keeping the iPac2 because hes keeping his old arcade machine too.  I dont know if its possible to program the second one, that brings up a good point.  Doesnt seem like you would.
microwrx:
You can program as many as you like and probably connect several (ie. more than 1) as well.  As long as you only have the one your programming plugged in at the time so it's the only one that get's uploaded to.  I have a J-PAC set to MAME defaults and a Mini-PAC daisy chained to it set to ALT and programmed (with a keyboard hanging off the Mini-PAC) and this works fine.  I therefore suspect it would work just as well with 2 I-PACs.
daveg2000:
I'm about 90% sure that I'll just get an IPac4.
Since I'm going to be keeping my original machine.

I dont like to gamble on hearing words like 'probably' or 'should'....
It just makes me uncomfortable... haha

anyhoo....

Im kind of steering away from the keywiz because of it showing
up as a joystick & not keyboard keys.

I'm sure it works fine in mame, but am concerned with
other emulators, and I NEED to make sure that the encoder
works with everything I'm planning on using....

like I said before.. I dont feel like taking any chances and
being out a hand full of cash.
