Hey Guys,
I've got an IPAC4 and I am trying to program player 3 start (shift) + player 4 start buttons to perform an ESCAPE. When programmed using player 1 start + player 2 start ESC works correctly. However, the player 3 start + player 4 start combo does not work. Can you not program this button combo to ESC? I am very familiar with programing the IPAC and I know that I am programming it correctly. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I have had similar issues with different i-pacs. I don't know if it's a software or hardware issue, but sometimes it won't allow me to re-assign the shift key to another button, or if it does, it doesn't always work properly.

What get's me is that the Player 3 button works just fine as a shift button. It works perfectly fine using player 3 start + 3SW1 and 4SW1 to enter coins for those players. It just will not perform an ESC if I program 4 player (shifted) start with ESC. The programming accepts normally, but when pressed it just doesn't work.
I think I'll shoot Andy an email and see what he suggests.

I have answered by email, but, on the I-PAC 4 there are two shift buttons. The Start1 (by default) affects player 1 and 2 controls. Start 3 affects player 3 and 4 controls.

In my email I did state player 1 start + player 4 start on accident, but that is not what I really meant. My original message above does state player 3 start + player 4 start for ESC. This combo does not work.
When I get home from the office this evening I am going to try to program player 1 start with another player 1 input for ESC and see if that combination works. If it does then I'll forget my player 3 + 4 idea.
