Nope, Xmen, TMNT, and a bunch of other 4p games pop a character on screen once you drop a coin in.  The coin slots correspond to certain characters, and coining up puts the player on the screen. 

You could choose characters in those games by using the 2p versions, but that's silly if you have a 4p control panel.

Well I tried TMNT and it does not 'pop up' a character either when you insert a coin.  It just says 'press start' next to the player 2-4, similar to gauntlet.  I don't have Xmen to try though.

Note I didn't think it was a good idea either, just nitpicking a minor incorrect statement. :)

Using the I-PAC shift functionality is obviously the way to go.

yup, you're right, Xmen actually does the same.  Either way though, there ARE games that put characters right on the screen, so I still say its a bad idea.  Shift keys would work out much better.

Just as an option...

Could you buy an IPAC 2 and hook it up to the IPAC 4? I'm pretty sure you can do that with IPACs, although I've never looked into it.
