How in the devil do you assign shifted keys using the Ipac4???? I have all my buttons assigned, that was easy. I want to give some buttons "shifted" assignments, such as the ~ (tilde) key, for getting into that menu while in MAME. I can't figure it out. I know i am missing something simple, help before i start beating my wife for no reason!!

I'll field this one...
Winipac software. Select shifted player 1-2 tab. Assign keys. Select shifter 3-4 tab. Assign keys :P

Or go into the table view.
Can someone verify if I'm understanding the shift purpose? I think I get it, but I can't understand why you would use it.
The idea is that if I hold down the "shift" button then all my other buttons are suddenly mapped differently?
Or is that pressing the shift button toggles between shifted and unshifted?
I guess the problem is, on a cabinet, it doesn't make much sense to allow the user to F@#$ up the settings. So I want to make it a whole lot more difficult to get at anything other than the standard joystick and button presses. I figure I'm missing the point. :(

ok, do i have to have a button wired into a special slot on the Ipac4 board, meaning, is the Ipac4 looking for a botton already marked as a right or left shift key? Or do I pick a button on my control panel, and assign that button to be the shift key by highlighting the cp button and then hitting the Left Shift button on the keyboard I have connected to the pass-through? This is where I think i'm losing it.

the "Shift" button on the IPAC is not actully the shift key on your keyboard. I have my shift key set to v if i remember correctly. I can't remember off the top of my head how to set it, bvut its in there, I know on the IPAC2 the shift key is player1 start as default, so try that.
