Ciro told me that he don't know much about electronic...
He told me that the i-pac have a lot more of ghosting problems than the x-arcade's pcb... is it real ?

If the I-pac don't suit me, I'm gonna store it somewhere until I can find an old arcade cab to plug into  ;D

No problem, that would have been the logical thing to do.  (When have I ever been logical?  :P)

that *Can't* be right on several levels...   sounds like FUD to me.

I'm wondering why'll you'll spring for the ipac, but the cable/x-arcade adapaters would be too  much of an investment (although I understand the shipping/tax rivals the cost of the actual item(s)))

ONE note to the wiring of the "serial" connection cable thingie... I'm NOT positive (i don't even own a x-arcade) but i'm pretty sure MOST of the "adapters" have some sort of logic and chip in them (i.e. they aren't just ways of connecting to different plug styles -- something else goes on in the translation.  I know its that way for the console adapters, but have no idea if that's the case for the PC/ps/2 or usb connectors.

There are actually no way to get the replacement cable shipped to france... and I don't have anymore usb port free... I don't want to buy an hub (cause the usb cable+the hub should cost more than the i-pac and a few wires...)
