Sorry, but no chance he has it wired wrong.
What he described is exactly the way the I-Pac and Mini-Pac behave.
Most people never notice because they press and release the button quickly.
If the Mini-Pac/I-Pac didn't wait until P1 Start is released to send the keystroke, picture this scenario:
* You want to play a 2 player game.
* You already have one credit.
* You want to use a shifted function for a second coin-up.
- Action (keystroke sent -- result)
- Press and hold P1 Start (1 -- 1-player game would start using the credit that you already had)
- Press P1 Button1 (5 -- a credit is added due to the shifted function)
As you can see, the I-Pac/Mini-Pac has to wait until P1 Start is released or another button is pressed to determine if the player intends to do P1 Start or a shifted function.
The only way around the delayed keystroke is to use a dedicated shift input with no associated keystroke like the KeyWiz Shazaaam! or the KADE HWB.
