(1/3) > >>

Hawk Daddy:
Ok I want to run two joysticks players one and two. And I need to have

2-red
2-green
2-blue
2-yellow
2-purple
2-orange
2-black
1-Player 1 with the one person on it
1-Player 2 with the two people on it

1 of each color, and then one player one and two button.  Do I need an Ipac to hook that up to the pc?  Also can i make it to where say I hold down the player 1 & 2 buttons and it'll be like exit on the keyboard to back out of the game?

Thanks

Hawk

Yes you should get an ipac (you don't have to get one but it's probably easiest) and yes you can program it to register player 1 start and player 2 start pressed together as "exit" (but I wouldn't recommed that combination because you will be unintentionally exiting the game when you are playing something like Street Fighter).

That is the default functionality of those two buttons, that is, you hook up Player 1 Start button to where it says 1STRT and Player 2 Start button to 2STRT and pressing both together (Actually press and hold Player 1 then press Player 2), will be like pressing ESC on the keyboard to exit game.

Also, if you press and hold Player 1 and press any of the arrow keys (UP, DN, LEFT or RIGHT) you can get various admin functions like ENTER, TAB, etc.

This is the way I got my setup hooked up and it works great.  You can Press and hold Player 1 and use the Player 1 joystick to do admin functions like accessing the menu and assigning controls for each game.

Thanks, is Ipac the best part to do this, or should I get something like a gpwiz, or something else.  I want to do this 1 time, and I want it to be the best that I can get at this time.

You also need at least one coin button, maybe two, no? And although it's "cheating", I couldn't live without my pause button.
