Can you connect an iPac to consoles?
mahuti:
Is there an adapter for the ipac to connect to various consoles? USB to Playstation or Xbox? Or is there some other encoder that can connect to various systems?
steve_pss:
The I-Pac works by using joystick or button signals to emulate a coorenspoding keystroke. So unless your console could utilize a keyboard for control (and I'm sure it can't) your out of luck.
Check around this site, there are a number of people that have hacked (modified) control pad innards to work with real controls.

One word: Dreamcast ;D
There is a device that allows you to input PS/2 into your DC ;D
It is cheap too! Whats the dead system now? ;D
mahuti:
I seem to recall Playstation 2 having a usb port. Anyone with experience doing that?
Also, I heard that the xarcade had some sort of proprietary encoder that could handle output to multi systems.
Has anyone had experience with that?
Nervous:
I know that the IPac won't work witn an XBox. Bummer.
Hafta hack an XBox controller...
