I-Pac Programming (Problem Fixed!)
eccs19:
Now I didn't think re-programming my I-Pac would be difficult, but seems I was wrong. I've got an older I-Pac (No LED's on it, and manual jumpers for programming) I've got the older loader for the older I-Pac, but just not having any luck. If I try programming it with the jumper set to MAME, I get an error saying that it's set to MAME. That's fine and dandy. I change the jumper to ALT, and I've tried it with a few different combinations. Keyboard plugged in, no keyboard, etc. Here are some of the errors I've seen.
1. FAILED - IPAC NOT CONNECTED
2. PROGRAMING IPAC PLEASE WAIT - RE-SETTING IPAC PLEASE WAIT - FAILED RECONNECT IPAC
Sometimes when I'm trying to program it, the mouse stops responding, sometimes it's OK.
I've tried the IPAC out in mame, and it works like it's supposed to, but I just can't reprogram it with the configuration I want. I've tried different settings in the IPAC utility. (WinIPAC Version 1.0.16) This is the one that Andy's site says I should use for this older one, unless I've mis-read.
Anyone have any suggestions????

I'd suggest plugging in a ps2 keyboard into the pass-thru, open up notepad and follow the directions here
Run the "T" mode to test.
If you have a shorted switch, then you won't be able to program the I-pac. The directions at the link above will show you which (if any) switches are shorted.
If you've already tried that... well I'm out of suggestions.

I actually don't have it hooked up to any switches yet, so there shouldn't be a short with any switches. I will try the test mode anyways just to see what happens.
I have actually had the program once say PROGRAMING IPAC, but it seems to stay at that stage a long while. How long does it usually take for the programing to go through? Am I just not waiting long enough??
Hoopz:
The newer versions get programmed in 2-3 seconds.
Have you emailed Andy? Or searched/posted on Ultimarc's forums? I would start with Andy. He is always helpful.

I did originally email him, but more to confirm if mine was an older one or not. I'll try the tests as mentioned in previous post, and then I'll send him another e-mail. (link to this thread)
