I-PAC vs KeyWIz Max

Pages: << < (3/4) > >>

Lilwolf:

One advantage that was mentioned is that IPac keeps its settings between reboots.  (it was mentioend that keywiz needs to be setup everytime... samething).

this is a very nice feature.  ESPECIALLY if you plan on using a non-supported OS (dos/linux ect).  So you change it in windows, and then reboot into the other os.

but after all this, I never use it anymore :)

I have both, and like both.  I think keywiz are product lines are more active right now.  Randy is looking at new possibilities and building boards on them.  But even then, APacs are pretty new and cool item. 

So all in all... buy one of each and build two cabinets :)

Everybody always rags on the Keywiz for not saving settings. Why don't you do what I do: program MAME to use the default settings of the KeyWiz? There - no worries about reprogramming on boot. Done.

MAME already uses the default settings of the KeyWiz ;D

I use the KeyWiz and almost never reprogram it.

The point was if say you mainly play ummm - let's say Golden Tee PC on your cab, and it won't allow you to change key assignments, and they don't match the KeyWiz defaults, the KeyWiz is SLIGHTLY less convenient (more so if you hot-swap it) than the I-PAC.

However, I do concur with your point there, Randy..
