I am still having problems getting my Ipac to work properly. Here's what's happening.
I am getting random movements with the Ipac. It usually pulls left when I'm playing games that require a lot of joystick movement and button pressing. It'll continue to pull left and it won't let me move in any other direction until I move left again. Then it stops pulling and acts normally (for a little while).
Other times, it just randomly starts moving me. I've played games where I'll stop touching the joystick, and all of a sudden I start racing to the right.
The really weird thing is - I can map the player 1's controls to the player 2's joystick, and it still happens. Also, if we play a two-player game, it happens to one player or the other - it's not limited to player 1 when 2 players are playing.
I can add a few things in response to a previous post - I do not have any analog joysticks. I am not running McAfee AV or the MS Sidewinder driver. There are not a lot of wires around the joystick putting pressure on the switches. The wires are wired to the proper terminals (NO and COM). I have rewired the joystick and it still does it. I have moved the player 1 wires to player 4's inputs on the Ipac and it still does it. I've checked all the wiring and none of it is loose, and I have no strands of wire loose.
Could there be some kind of software problem causing this, or does it sound like the Ipac? I am running Advancemame and Advancemenu on Windows 2000.
