| 3Tronics Keyboard Encoder? Help Needed |
| (1/2) > >> |

Hey guys, I'm really new to the whole mame scene, but I've encountered a serious problem now that I'm towards the end of my build. I decided that instead of doing the keyboard hack I would order a keyboard encoder(Ipac like). I decided on the 3tronics 24-input keyboard encoder. Now i started by daisy chaining all the grounds, and I used a continuity tester to check to make sure all the grounds were wired. Then i wired up player 1's side of the control panel and decided to test it before i went any further. Much to my dismay now the buttons are unresponsive and the keyboard connected to the pass through is not working. I tested before to make sure it worked by hooking the encoder up to the ps2 keyboard port taking a wire to pin 26(ground) and the 5 key on the encoder and pressed them together and it put a 5 on the computer so it was working. Is there any reason why this is happening, or any thing i can do about it. I can make a video or link to the products ebay page if needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Make sure you are using the correct connector for the computer and the correct one for the keyboard. |

I found the problem... The when i hook the arcade controller up to the computer without a keyboard in the pass through it works like a charm. But as soon as a put something in there it locks up and even after i take it out the thing still won't work. Anyway to fix this? |
| taberman:
well it's definitely not from the passthrough... It's working really on and off. Mostly off. Is there some kind of bios setting or driver i need for this to work properly. Whenever i push buttons all i hear is the sound you hear in xp when your typing on in a window :badmood: |

Have you tried contacting 3tronics about this? I see that they show the BYOAC logo on some of their diagrams, so I assume they must be a member here. Perhaps they would have an idea of what's going on. |
