X-Arcade Tankstick limited button presses (6 button limitation)
erockmonroe:
This is a seperate issue but I will verify it. Ive had issues with no ps/2 keyboard plugged into my tankstick. However this is NOT the issue at hand. From what i can tell any ps/2 run through the pci slot turns into usb anyway, so your still stuck with a 6 button limit ( plus ctrl, alt etc). I have some techy nerd friends Im trying to recruit for this, will report back. I also have grave concerns about the xbox 360 and trackball games etc, I cant seem to find the info on the net and really just need someone to confirm it works, if not Ill bite the bullet and try it. Need to buy an xbox 360 adapter, and also use a button mapping program, but maybe it will work, if so itd be worth it. My nephew and I were playing metal slug and he was literally hitting every button at once on the tankstick, I noticed loss of control and it was lame, but he had so much fun we kept playing, but Id prefer both, y'know? Thanks in advance.

i mentioned in a previous thread.. what I did to fix the issue was to get an ipac and put it in the tankstick. it works usb with zero lag. hope this helps

If you are talking about plugging the Tankstick's trackball into the xbox adapter, you wouldn't have to. In my pc with the PS/2 port, I actually only have the joystick and buttons (the keyboard encoder) plugged in via PS/2. I plugged the trackball into a usb port.
The reason for this is I have the Aimtrak lightguns as well and they are USB. Having basically 3 mice plugged in (2 guns and 1 trackball) I was getting some funky operation from my trackball after playing a gun game. I assumed it was because the mouse was being controlled from different ports. Once I plugged the trackball in to a USB it all seems to work fine now.

I looked at the ipac and it intimidates me. Anyway you could give a tutorial or let me know how hard it would be to figure out? If that's what I need to do I'm willing to do it but I'm just not sure if I can.

here is the wireing diagram for the tankstick.. you just cut the wires and put them into the appropriate spots on thew ipac
