Keyboard Emulator Question

--- Quote ---But the P1 start = shift key and so the Shift+P2Start= ESC so that would be 1 button up your sleeve as you dint need a dedicated esc key. (you can actually shift + any other key = pause or esc ) So there would be 2 spare keys.

This is the way the IPAC4 ships (default), and I had to change it. I don't know how many times we were playing a two player game and both of us went to hit our "start" at the same time - exiting the game! I'm all for using shifted buttons, but you have to think carefully about using two that would never be pressed at the same time under normal conditions - or using a dedicated shift button.

I agree. I personally think a good option is P1 Start + P1 Button4 = Esc as that way 1 person controlls the ESC feature and you would have to be stupid to press that combination accidental

Since you dont need the pinball buttons at the same time as the player 2/3/4 controls, just parallel the buttons up with those and set your emulators up accordingly.
