Title: Will an Ipac2 work for this setup
Post by: diverdown on November 26, 2006, 09:13:26 pm

 ???

My friend (sure says the doctor witha wry grin) wants to build a cocktail cab along the lines of the crazy canadian cab.

Will an Ipac2 encoder (or for that matter a keywiz) suit the below layout?

Short side(1) player1 joy, Start Coin and 6 buttons
Short side(2) player2 joy, start, coin and 6 buttons
Lons side (1) Player 1 and 2 joy and 6 buttons each.


So a total of 4 joysticks and 4 sets of 6 buttons. maybe an exit or pause with P1 7/8 inputs

Can I just double wire the ipac2 with the same controls going from both P1 joystick etc. to the one input on the ipac.




I assume I can, but before I spend his money I want to be sure.

Double wiring should work fine and make them interchangeable. THe system won't know which you are pressing but won't care anyway.
