I run the Z26 Atari emulator which apparently won't let you re-map the keys. So I launch the emulator from a batch file. The line before the emulator loads I put this line. ipacutil atari.cfg /b This works aproximately 60% of the time ,The rest of the time I will get a timeout error and it won't get programmed but the emulator will still launch with the keys all mapped incorrectly. I exit the emu and launch the batch file again and it will usually program successfully. What I want to know is there a way to make the flash utility keep trying until it is successfull. Maybe like an "if errorlevel" statement in the batch file? Also iis there a limit to the # of times you can program the I-pac ? I would hate to be buying a new I-Pac next year just because I love to play Atari Warlords! here is my config : Win98se - all my emulators running under windows Older model I-Pac (purchased august of '01 ) Intel P3 850 CPU Intel Mainboard Z26 is the only emu I have to change config for Thanks in advance Slug54 |

Try editing the cfg file by hand. You might find it more easily. |

Hey Twist If I edit the .cfg file by hand don't I still have to send it to the I-pac by typing something like this ipacutil atari.cfg /b which will give me a time out error some of the time. or am I missing something ? Just having the .cfg changed doesn't actually change the mappings of the I-pac until it is programmed I thought. maybe I'm wrong and I just don't understand exactly how it works . are you saying the I-pac will use what ever config is in the ipacutil.cfg file. That would be cool if I could just copy a different config to the ipacutil.cfg file and then launch the emu. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for your help Slug54 |

You might try E-mailing Andy Warne (andy@ultimarc.com) or posting this on the I-PAC message board. I would like to know what you find out as I was planning the identical setup to what you are suggesting. |

There are two other command line options that you can use, they are both used to prevent timeout problems. /d and /t have to do with timouts, but I don't have the documentation on hand right now. |
