Title: New ipacs with old i & minipacs
Post by: juggle50 on February 11, 2014, 08:01:09 pm

Hey guys,

Shot Andy an email but thought I'd try here too.

I just replaced an ipac 2 in my mame machine to replace a failing one. My new ipac is installed in a cocktail table and works great after I upgraded the winiPac software.

I have a few lapbox controllers with unique controls that I plug into a hidden USB port in the cocktail table.  These controllers have old ipacs and min ipacs in them.  The new ipac software (winiPac 2.0.8) is not recognizing the old ipacs/min ipac (used to work with WiniPac 1.2.136).  Is there a solve for this? 

I've heard about a firmware upgrade but not sure if that's the fix.

Thanks for the help!

Use the older version of the software with your older controllers.

Tried that but it's not a great solution. The controllers won't hold memory now.  I have to open winiPac and hit program them each time.   I used to be able to plug and play.
