Question on IPac2

(1/2) > >>

eyal8r:
Hey guys-
Got the IPac2 for my 2 player cab. Got to looking at it- it has 4 directions for joystick, 8 other buttons, a start and coin button for each player. Not much room for other 'system' buttons.  Is there a switch button I can rig up so that when pressed I have a whole sleu of other buttons available to me?  I am using 7 buttons for each player- and would like to add in some system buttons as well as some pinball buttons on the side. How do I do this?

Also- how many buttons on each side for most pinball games?
Thanks
D

You should try checking the most obvious of places first...

SirPoonga:
Those 7 buttons per player, what do you plan on doing?  think you could souble up on the inputs to save some inputs?

Silver:
You can use the same input more than once - so I would suggest just wiring your 'pinball' buttons to the same buttons as you have for player 1....

so make 'left pinball' same as 'player 1 button 1' and 'right pinball' as 'player 1 button 2'

This will work fine because with your hands on the pinball buttons you won't need the player 1 buttons - ie they can happily co-exist. You can wire more than 1 wire to each input on the ipac.

In mame/pinmame you can reconfigure the inputs as desired to make the pinball buttons player 1 b1 and b2 (or even better find what buttons most the pinball games default to and wire your pinball buttons as those, to save reconfiguring)

Hope that made sense!
