sadly it wont work, the ipac is a keyboard hack, so it outputs keyboard keypresses, dc, ps etc look for control outputs (up down left right button 1 etc)

the other way can work though, hack a ps controller and buy and adapter to usb or dc........

Well,  my theory on that was.  All three major consoles have keyboards avaiable.  I myself have hacked an xbox controller conector into a usb keyboard.  Question would be if these keyboards are available in the game.  My only other option would be to use my old x-arcade guts with the adapter and create a second controller for the cab.
