OK, I can do that.  I may screw up my standardized mapping that way though since my DB25 is organized such that each player gets six buttons.  I can use one of the digital joystick directions for the seventh button I suppose, or I can go ahead and do the second DB25 that I planned on doing if I ever needed more inputs to catch everything else.  Will have to think about that.
GaryMcT:
Wow. . I should really stuck to software. :)  Took me many many hours to assemble my drill press.  Would have gone more quickly if it had no instructions.  I only have one part left that I don't know what to do with.  That's good, right? :)

It's like IKEA products, the fact you have only one errant part means you were too anal about putting it together. Try taking it apart again, then forget about it, come back the next day and try to remember if any more parts are missing and THEN you will be putting it together correctly (ESP if you find a screw or plate a few years later that got kicked under a piece of furnature).

Also, if it is a three pronged plug, and you only have a two pronged outlet, the best thing to do is to cut off the grounding plug. But you must find a new ground for it, so I suggest soldering a wire to the case and hook it to a metal bracelet that you wear on your left wrist. That will properly ground it. :D

it took me hours to put my drill press together and I had somebody helping me too

I will say it was worth it though I love that thing I use it all the time. Just yesterday I used it to fix my eye glasses... Seriously! saved me $300 for a new pair

did you already wire up the db25?
there should be more than enough connectors on an Ipac4 for 8+ buttons on a 2 player CP
I think I missed something
bkenobi:
There are some games that might be easier to set up if the buttons are on the same controller as the stick (SFIV comes to mind).  If you have 2 controllers, then you might need to use PPJoy and GlovePIE to recombine things.  It's not a show stopper, but something you might consider.

But, since you already have the IPAC4, you might as well use it, right?
