I only have a two player CP (so 2 different coin buttons/slots). For those type of games, the controls and coin inputs have to be remapped (either on IPAC or in MAME) if you want to play player 3 or 4's character. --- End quote --- Ahhh (light bulb goes on). Thanks for the info. This really helps. I would have hated to see the look on the elf's face when he realized he couldn't play on my arcade cab's opening weekend! |

Total needed = 64 First you need 32 buttons for your 4 player, trackball, spinner frankenpanel player 1 and 2 - 6 buttons each - total 12 player 3 and 4 - 4 buttons each - total 8 coin button and start button for each player - total 8 pause and reset button - 2 two buttons for the track ball and spinner to share - 2 Now once you have it all wired you can pull out all of these buttons and then replace them with 32 lighted buttons.... Total buttons needed = 64 :laugh2: :cheers: |

I've heard of the Shazamm button from the keywiz... Is this just a dedicated "shift" button, which acts solely as a "shift" button, and has no other function unlike the Ipac (where P1 serves as both the P1 start and the shift button?). I like the fact of not having to use the P1 button as a shift key for some reason :-\ ) --- End quote --- Yep, no problem setting a dedicated button, that's exactly how I have mine setup. I just reprogrammed the IPAC to use Player 1 button 8 as my shift rather than the default 1UP button. --- End quote --- was this response just for the ipac...? can the shazaam key be mapped to the player 1 button(or any other button) too...? or do you have to have a dedicated button for the sole purpose of being the shazaam button...? thanks... |
