Title: Ipac4 issues
Post by: Darkmend on November 08, 2008, 01:00:54 pm
Im having some issues programming my Ipac4...

When I try to program the Ipac4 is timeouts every time. I did some research and purchased a multimeter and all my connections are good. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Also, lets say I do get the Ipac4 programmed, do I need to go into my MAME and other emulators and change the controls there to mimic the Ipac4 setting?

Thanks in advance!
 :cheers:

usb or ps2 connection?

if usb try ps2.

also make sure you have usb enabled in your pc's bios if your using a usb connection for keyboard and mouse.

Im using the Ipac4 with a ps2 connection.
Im also using a usb mouse that works fine with it, another problem I had was that the keyboard coming from the Ipac4 was not working, I assumed that the Ipac4 was the default for the controls, I have a adapter thats ps2>usb, ill try my keyboard on that instead of the Ipac "out" for some more trouble shooting

Ok now that I have my keyboard hooked up via ps2>usb connector the keyboard works, but now the Ipac4 isnt doing anything  :angry:  When I start up the WinIpac program to configure the buttons it doesnt detect anything when I push them. Any help on this issue would be great for this computer noob  :banghead:

There is an option in winipac somewhere to increase the time it allows before timeout. I had an issue with it timing out so I increased it in the option and it worked fine.
