I have a question for Andy or anyone that uses an Ipac...
Can you change the keycode values on the fly? Say I'd like to send a new keycode setting before launching a PC game batch file and then set it back to its original settings after exiting the game. Is this possible?
-
To my knowledge, yes, I'm just not certain of the exact commands. Probably the program name with the name of the profile plus extension after it.
-
Yes, you do this by running WinIPAC using a command line and it will re-program the board in the background, using pre-configured IPC config files.
Re-programming only takes a fraction of a second so the process is quick. You can set up batch files for each configuration and use the command-line features of many front-ends to run each one.

Cool! Thanks Andy. Looking forward to buying an Ipac after the holidays.

I-pac's are so awesome it's ridiculous. ;D

I'm sold...just ordered two!

May I suggest the minipac (also from andy), esp the lower cost one. IE the minipac without the analogue feature, but with the wire harness.
It is long known that I am a "pusher" of the minipac, and for those of us who want a good thing that is easy to configure, I hence-forth push the minipac.
Minipac FTW! (@Andy, why no minipac4? Would it be hard to do, or is there too little demand?)
-
If anyone needs ipac2 or minipacs I have several here in the states ready to ship.
thanks

I love my minipac.
