ipac issue with player2 joystick *RESOLVED*

(1/2) > >>

OK First off sorry if this has been asked before, I tried a search but didn't see anything like it that jumped out in the 78 pages of found messages.

Hopefully someone here knows how to resolve a small issue I am having. I have just set up a mame box and a 2 player joystick setup with 6 buttons each (ok I have every button used on the Ipac ;-) ) The 2nd player joystick has one small issue, then you go to the left the button click doesn't register untill you let the joystick go back to center. I have replaced the micro switch and had the same issue, I tried changing the input from open to closed and then the buttons get all goofed up. I used Ultimarcs Interactive panel designer software to program the Ipac. Any ideas of resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated, as it makes playing most games as player 2 almost impossiable.

EDIT: OK I forgot to mention I am using a slikstic cabinet, and all Happs components the joysticks are ultimate 8 ways, the only non happs component is the trackball. I have ran an isolated ground to the switch with the issue also but it didn't help either.

Hook the switch up to a different input and see if it works correctly there. That way you can rule out the switch entirely.

I have 3 extra switches on hand, I replaced the switch with one of these and it had the same issue, but I will try swapping the right and left inputs and see if it says on the same side or moves.

Yes, do that.

I have one I-Pac that won't go left at all. I just had to not use that input.

Make that HAD. I used that one on a cab for a customer in order to get rid of it.

Paige, sorry I an a noob here what is HAD?

Would it be possiable to reprogram the 2nd player coin in button to be left joystick input instead?
