What are the tradeoffs between keyboard and joypad encoding?
bkenobi:
There are things that can be done to get around these limitations, but they are not quite as easy as simply setting up a shifted button. One option is to use a script (AHK or AI are typically used). This is not as good an option because it takes up CPU cycles and feels more like a hack than a solution. You can also connect controls to more than one button if you use diodes correctly.
The only thing you won't be able to do with the U360 is connect the joystick switches to the IPAC because it doesn't have switches!

I'm going to proceed with 7 buttons + 1 start button hooked up to the U360 and see if I run into any problems.
Ginsu Victim:
How are you giving credits? Shifted function?
GaryMcT:
Ah, I forgot to mention that part. The rest of the buttons are going to be connected to the ipac4. :)
Ginsu Victim:
oh yeah, duh. I forgot about that. I'm considering doing the same for mine.
