Title: Ipac Value Edition Question about programming keys
Post by: jbrem41 on July 28, 2009, 05:22:31 pm

I'm redoing my arcade that I built about 4 years ago.  I've installed a bunch of new emulators and can't get away with using just the mame standard keys.  I downloading the ipac software to reprogram the keys.  Well now I know of should of bout ipac 2.  When the ipac value edition loses power it loses the saved keys.  Is there anyway I can some how program it on boot?  because if now everytime it loses power I have to click the program button.  Any help would be appreciated.

The VE was not made to store your settings. That's WHY it's the cheapy.

Should still be able to run some command-line tool to program it on boot I would imagine.

I guess if no one knows since it keeps the settings when I power off the PC.  The usb still gives power I don't lose the settings.  Its just I can't unplug the PC or when I lose total power I will just have to remember to click program on the ipac software.  Not a huge issue but a issue non the less.

Thanks anyway, I love this forum and I have already had a bunch of other issues that the search feature of this forum has saved me a lot of time.
