Title: Can I buy a IPAC cable somewhere locally?
Post by: shredso on June 30, 2010, 09:13:20 pm
My buddy finally assembled his MAME cab after buying the parts a year ago and misplaced the IPAC cable.  I see PS2 extension cables, but nothing male to male.  I see some crazy PS2 adapters that are expensive, but not sure if they would work either.  He was hoping to have it up and running this weekend so ideally we would find something local at a Best Buy or Rat Shack.  I have a PS2 to USB keyboard adapter but I don't know if they make a flat male to flat male USB cable.  Can anyone point me to a link for this cable?  thanks.

They definitely sell these - especially for use in KVM setups.

Or if you have a couple old ps2 keyboards that aren't going to get used, you could always cut the cables and splice them together in a pinch.

+1 on this recommendation.  I ordered an IPAC a couple weeks ago and got it in just a few days.

i don't know what the ipac needs, but if it just a ps/2 male to male cable, you can't beat monoprice.com
