Using USB mode?
The only thing I can see are some potentially poor choices - the direction arrows, Page Up and Page Down all send extra characters to the buffer. Bad for a keyboard hack, but I would think the I-PAC could handle it. See http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/encoder/scancodesset2.htm for a summary and http://www.mameworld.net/emuadvice/keyhack2.html under "Choosing the Keys" for details.

sorry, should have mentioned earlier, ps/2 connetion...
Would having number / scroll / capslock on the keyboard on have anything to do with affecting these results?
Ill have a browse thru those links, thanks all....

Okay, I'm stumped, you might E-mail Andy.

It shouldn't, but possibly just having the keyboard plugged in would. Wouldn't hurt to test without it.

Links just tell you what keys to stay away from. If you were not seeing problems with a keyboard, but see them with an I-PAC, I'm again stumped. You might try remapping the I-PAC and MAME to more "PC-friendly" keys and seeing if that helps.

I had a similar problem with my IPac when I added pinball buttons to my CP. I went and reprogramed my IPac and things acted screwey. Well, it turns out that I had a wiring problem. You might just want to double check that. Mine was hard to see at first.

When you say wiring problem what do you mean? Were wires touching each other or were they loose etc?
Cheers
