Ultimarc Ipac Programming issue
leapinlew:
being a "computer person" I expected the building of the cab to be the hard part and the computer stuff to be the easy part! Perhaps someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong -
I have the ipac wired up to a 2 joystick with 2 buttons each, I also have a quarter (5) and player 1 (1) button and a quarter (6) and player 2 button. All those buttons work fine. I have a dedicated Pause and Quit button but I cannot program them to be P and Esc.
I opened the ipac config utility. Create a blank board and assign all the keys to the board and save my config. Then I click the program utility and it says it's programming the ipac, but when I open notepad the changes didn't take.
I wired the Escape and Pause button to player 1/2 button 8.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I would use this rather than the GUI's (Overkill in my opinion)

It's simple and effective
Good Luck

In the settings option, did you set your IPAc to the right model and connection? If this has a jumper on it, is it set to ALT, not MAME?

That's my first guess too. You have to switch the jumper to ALT to be able to modify the programming.
If it's not that... well, we have a starting point to work from.

I see jumpers on the board, but there currently isn't anything jumped - it's all exposed pins.
What I did to fix the problem was open notepad and hit cntrl+alt+p to program it. I never could get the ipac program to work.
Thanks for the help. I knew the answer was on the board somewhere. The search on the forum kind of sucks, I ended up going to google typing in search terms that connected me to the BYOAC forums.
