how to set up/use ipac4?
struby:
i have it working, except for a button or two, and the fact that by default, mame maps p2 buttons 5 and 6 to the same buttons as p3 up and down, but that' shouldn't be a problem because no/hardly any games with p3 in them would use buttons 5 and 6 on p2, but anyway, as for the p2 coin button that doesn't work, and a few that are slow to respond it works, any advice on the non workers or the slow ones?
Hoopz:
None should be slow to resond. Can you tell us which ones those are? Also, check out the LED on the board itself. When you power on, it flashes. If it flashes once and then stays lit, that means everything is wired properly. If it flashes more than once, you need to count the number of flashes and check out the table on Andy's site. That will tell you/us which input has an issue. It could be a grounding problem or being wired to NO etc.
You may have to check the number of LED flashes, find/fix a problem, and look at the LED again. That will let you know if everything is ok or if another input needs looked at.

ok thanks i might look at that later tonight, does anyone know how to fix these few problems I'm having:
default wires p2 buttons 5 and 6 to p3 up and down, which is a minor hardly a big deal problem
when i hit the alt mapped button of p1 button 2 and then enter mapped on p3, the screen goes small
some of the other buttons might be double mapped like one person hits a button and another person punches, these problems all occured in the xmen playing 3 players in the 4 player side scroller.
why does it do this default, and if i change it, won't i have to change all my game configs to go with it?

Remap P3 Up and Down to something else using WinIpac, reconfigure MAME.

Start any game in MAME: Press Tab - Input (General) - User Interface - Toggle Fullscreen - Enter - Esc - Enter - close menu (map to NONE).

MAME doesn't define any of the Player 2 buttons above 4 or any of the Player 4 defaults.
Yes.

I am gonna leave problem one be, as i don't think it is a problem, i fixed the screen thing, and all else is well, except the non working button and maybe a slow button or two, i'm on that now
