Ipac 4 help

Update!!! the problem seems to only affect the higher number inputs on Player 3 and 4. I moved the wires to lower inputs, player 3 sw 1 and it works. So either the higher number inputs are faulty or there is something required to energize them. I have no clue, I will send Andy an Email.

Hoopz:

By default P3 & P4 sw5-8 are not programmed with an I-Pac 4.  Only switches 1-4.  When you say higher numbers, were you speaking of those higher than 4?

 Yes, I had originally wired some buttons to 3sw6 7 and 8 and 4 sw7 and 8. I could not get these to work at all, even though I tried to configure them in the IPD software.

I'm not sure if mame is preconfigured with key assignments for player 3 & 4,I know for sure that player 2 buttons 5,6,7,8 needs to be assigned keys before they will work in mame.Just open up windows notepad and hit the buttons that are not working,if they spit out the keys you programed into the ipac for those buttons then you know the ipacs working and you need to configure your key assignments in mame(hit  the "tab" button while a game is running to pull up the mame options menu)just be careful which submenu you use,there is one for all mame games,and one for the particular game you were playing when you opened the options menu.One effects all games and the other only effects the active game you are playing.

Thanks for the replys. I am good to go now. It was a moron thing. I was expecting my inputs to update because I told the IPD program what I wanted, but Until I actually sent the programed code back to the IPAC it could not show those buttons as working.

Thanks again for the help :)
