Hi, Sorry if the following has been answered. I searched on the board and could not find the same problem. I recently built a 4 player CP (Happ Supers for players 3/4 and 2 Happ Rotary for players 1/2) with an extra joystick (a Happ Super) to be used so player 1 could play Karate Champ, Crazy Climber, Smash TV and Robotron. I am using an IPAC4. Yes, the CP is gigantic, but I wanted something that all of my friends could use. I switched the controls to map properly for the 2nd joystick for those games. When I try and use the joysticks on any of those games, it is as if something is sticking or it's reading a different signal that what I am entering with the joystick. If I use the keyboard and use the keys that I mapped to, I can play the game (not very well) and everything works OK. I checked the 2 joysticks in notepad and nothing is sticking there and they are entering the proper keystrokes. Do both joysticks need to be set up to be 4 way only to work with those games? Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

I'd really like to know if this works too. I am about to start building my first cab and definately want the 4 sticks for Karate Champ, SmashTV etc. I assume I need the iPac4 anyway to support the extra sticks, or will the iPac2 work? (not interested in having '4 players' as such, just 2 players, 2 sticks each). Thanks! |

Karate Champ has to have 4-ways, or the character will stick. Crazy Climber works best with 8-ways, but will play with 4-ways. Robotron and Smash TV both need 8-ways, otherwise you wouldn't be able to shoot diagonally. |

Sounds like either a wiring problem or maybe you are accidentally activating your IPAC 'shift' button? |
