iPac: Do you use the MAME or Alternate settings?
wboy:
I use ALT, as some other emulators I uses don't deal to well when the likes of Ctrl or Alt are pressed as it brings up the file menu.
Instead of Ctrl, Alt, Space and LShift, I uses 7,8,9,0. Note this means slightly changing the default service button mappings in mame as they effectively conflict this way.
I also change the exit shift button default of Shift P1 Start > Exit P2 Start .
I leave the shift button the same (P1 Start), I just map Esc to P1 Up instead.
So my basic shift functions are
P1 Up = Esc
P1 Right = Tab (matches arrow direction on normal keyboard)
P1 Left = Enter ( " )
P1 Down = Pause
Only problem I find with P1 Shift, P2 Exit is when playing a 2 player game, if the two of you die and go for start simultaneously, you can sometimes exist the game accidently! :(

On my old 2 player cab I used the MAME deafualt setting on an I-PAC 2. On my 4 player cab I use MAME default on the J-PAC for player 1 & 2 and ALT on the Mini-PAC for players 3 & 4 and coin buttons for all 4 players.

i hooked up with the mame settings to test initially......everything worked great. then i started playing for a couple of weeks. eventually i changed to alt settings to get in my other none standard keys i wanted to use.
i wouldnt buy he cheaper ipac if it looses settings after powerdown - spend the extra cash - you will NOT EVER regret paying slightly more...
always gives you the option o adding extra buttons if you ever need to!!!

i use the default in my cocktail cab. i was going to use the alt for a more elegant way to enter but no one has found it too difficult yet ;) and now ive just designed an instruction card for the default ill probably never change it!
i agree with others whove said dont get the cheaper one. who knows what youll need down the road...
