Looking for step by step for good easy IPac4 use

From the I-Pac FAQ:


--- Quote --- You can use a normal keyboard connected to the pass-thru connector. But if everything is set up properly with the PC booting into an emulation front-end menu, and each game is configured correctly, you can do everything with the standard controls on the cabinet.
The PC will pass the keyboard self-test with or without the aux keyboard. Key-codes from the auxiliary keyboard are fully "interleaved" with the codes from the I-PAC so both can be used at the same time and the 3 LEDS on the auxiliary keyboard are functional.
Being interrupt-triggered, the pass-through keyboard connector does not "steal" any CPU cycles whatsoever from the interface while the keyboard is idle so there is no impact on performance at all.,

alright sorry I didn't find that when I looked I bought it a while ago and I didn't even remember who makes it
FrizzleFried:
FYI:  There are no MAMEed games that use more than 4 buttons for P3 and P4 from my understanding....

struby:
well I might just do 4 for those players, if I did 6 it would be more for looks and...equality or something I dunno, maybe I'll just do 4, but thanks.

Just a heads up.. player 2's button 5 and 6 are usually not mapped in mame by default so make sure you map it.  Also, some fighter games do not use the standard button layout so go into the service menu (F2) and make sure you are all set up.  Do the mappings in mame and don't mess with the ipac that much.
