I-Pac / Mini-Pac Question
AndyWarne:
Non-working shift functions indicate one or more stuck buttons, or mis-wired.
There are 2 versions of the board. The one with jumpers is the older type and needs the older WinIPAC program to re-program it.
The later board has no jumpers, and has a self-test LED which can be used to easily locate any stuck connections. This uses the later program, above.
But, ESC (hold start1 and press start2) should work without re-programming so a stuck connection seems to be the problem.

Andy, any idea when this change was implemented? I need to update my infamous chart: http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/encoder/main.htm#I-PAC_Software_Compatibility (or I can just say "with Jumpers" and "without Jumpers"
MameJunkie:
I tried the older version of the software last night and it works ALOT better. :)
On question though...do I need a USB cable in order to "Program" it?
It times out when I try to do it in the software.
BTW: I got the MiniPac awhile ago 9-10 months. Just got around to doing my cab. Will be posting early pics of it later.
