CP wire up
« on: July 04, 2006, 03:23:38 pm »
When running  a two player cp with 8 way controlers with one 4 way up top what do ou wire the 4 way too. As far as the ipac 4 do you run it to the same up down left right of player one that the 8way is hooked up to?

I find it interesting that you bought an IPAC/4 for a 2 player CP. The IPAC4 is designed for 4 players (hence the 4). The IPAC/2 is generally used for 2 player and most people would setup the IPAC2 with 2 8 ways and a dedicated 4 way as you say (same connections as player 1 8 way). I'm not sure if there would be any good reason to not set it up this way now even with the IPAC4.

So what I am trying to say...yes....hook up the dedicated 4 way along with one of the 8 ways on the p1 side of the IPAC4.

If you aren't planning on creating a 4P CP you might should look at trading your IPAC/4 for a IPAC/2 + something else...

Yup
