U360 and Ipac2 wired up
hellothere123:
I'm getting 2 U360 and and Ipac 2
Ultimarc says that the Ipac2 has wiring for 2 joysticks, 8 buttons eac, 4 extra buttons and a shift.
What I'm wondering is: Do I wire the U360's into the Ipac or do I wire them into the Ipac and use the USB (I guess that is the only way to yse the mapping?)
And does a U360 wired through a Ipac2 work the same (2, 4, 8, 49 way mapping) as if it was normally plugged into USB?
fatfingers:
You can do either. However, if you wire the 360 into the IPAC then your 360 ultimately becomes a (micro) switch joystick and cannot do analog modes. My advice would be to use the USB connections only on the 360 and have them be treated like gamepads.
Good luck.

So the U360's are both plugged into USB, and are gamepads???
AndyWarne:
To clarify:
The main purpose of the ability to connect the U360 to a encoder-type device is in two cases:
To connect to a non-USB device such as a JAMMA cabinet or game board or,
To use with applications which do not recognise gamepad axes.
This excludes Mame so there is not really much to be gained by connecting the stick to an encoder for Mame, just plug each into USB and it will have full functionality in Mame.

OK I see what your saying.
Plug the U360's in with the USB's.
Then for buttons use the IPAC2, right?
