Title: I-PAC X-Box Adaptor QUESTIONS
Post by: Demon-Seed on November 22, 2004, 09:18:07 am
Hello
I have a xbox in my cabinet now but not connected to the arcade controls. I had the xarcade thing but it did not co-operative. the new IPAC XBOX adapter.. is designed to let me use my controls with xbox? I am just a little concerned with how it works can anyone help me out?
I see it has a ps2 input.... so is there a way to run my current IPAC to PC and have it connected to XBOX at same time? or do u have to mannually switch it?

What about inputs....are they customizable? what do u think

I really would like to have further info about it as I am very interested in the item
thanks
JIM

would need to be switched...he (andy) said you can probally do a a/b switch which will be easy...    this is why the xbox has a ps2 switch...

i'm sorry if i sounded dumb (which i am)

you know those A/B switches (like a kvm switch)...
somthign like that would allow you to leave both plugged in... when it's time to play the other systems...flick the switch (like a light bulb)

take this one for instance

just an exmaple...
i hope this better explains it
