Title: IPAC4 (old model PS2 ~after 2004) - Can reprogram P1/P2 but not P3/p4?
Post by: borals on March 07, 2020, 03:50:09 am

Hiya,

Wondering if anyone has ever encountered this issue before:

Recently built a new cab and reused the old IPAC4 - it all works fine and all switches register, but it wont program p3/p4.

Funnily enough it reprogrammed p3/p4 once when I used the "reset defaults" and it reprogrammed all keys to defaults on the IPAC4, but now when I try to push "program" it does p1/p2 then times out  - setting new keys for p1/p2 and leaving p3/p4 as default.

Have tried from a different PC (win7) - I'm using the "WinIPAC Interactive Panel Designer" which I believe is correct for my era board.

My only thought was - are their any key codes/keys you cannot push to these older boards?

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

Cheers, borals.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand solved it myself. :applaud:

For anyone interested, I had other IPAC's that have the PS2 DIN -> USB connector - I tried that and after installing a driver and failing - rebooted and tried again with success. Was super fast too.

Another bit of info, I did this on a Win10 machine - running app in comparability mode as Win7, which I didnt think would work, but there you go.
