Title: Need a Bezel Ipac "shift" key information card real bad.
Post by: bsoder52 on April 03, 2003, 09:45:12 pm

Has anyone out there created/found an instruction card for the bezel detailing the default shifted key for the Ipac and illustrating what the shifted keys are like shift, esc, etc....?

I'm in the middle of wiring my control panel and I'm not sure which way to go.  Any suggestions on this matter would be appreciated as well.  I do have 4 extra buttons in the top of my control panel if I wanted to use those, not counting the PL1/PL2 buttons I also have as well.  

Thanks in advance!
You guys rock the house!

I made a couple of I-PAC instruction cards a while back.  They are nothing fancy and I'm sure some of our resident gfx experts can do much better, but here they are.

Thanks alot!

If anyone has any other options please post as well.  The more I think about it the more it seems like everyone should have one of these on their bezel.  

And man, I could have saved money, not too sure why install 4 dummy buttons uptop.
If anyone got a good idea for what to do with those please let me know.  I have MameWah up and running with Mame right now and plan to keep it that way.

map them for asteroid configuration? But you'd need a 5th for hyperspace

I've got 4 mini-momentarys mounted on top of my cab that I use for
Esc/F2/F3/Enter

What do F2 and F3 do in Mame?

F2 enters 'Service mode' if a game supports it (most do), and F3 resets the game

Most of the Williams games need it for the first run, as well as some others when booting.. Easy fix if you don't have a keyboard handy
