Title: I-PAC for those on a budget.
Post by: terryd on August 25, 2004, 10:05:07 am

I came across this yesteday while looking on the Ultimarc web site...  It is an I-PAC^2 clone for $35 USD including shipping.  It one major difference is that it stores the config for buttons in RAM instead of EEPROM.   But if your going to use the default button layout for MAME like I will, then it's not a big deal.  The I-PAC defaults to MAME's default button layout.

Hope this helps some of you who are on a shoestring budget like I am...

It's not really an Ipac "clone" seeing as its made by Ultimarc, the same people who make the Ipac.

It's been out for a while now, and has gotten good reviews.  I'm not sure why Andy doesn't put it up on his main site, because a lot of people don't know about it.  The minipac is the same way, with no link on the main page.  It's kind of odd IMO, heh.

I use my I-PAC VE just for MAME so the defaults and RAM memory are just fine with me.  It works beautifully on my Macs and PCs.
