control pannel/winpac issue - please show me your mame wisdom
mlalena:
This is an IPAC 2, but it works as an example
See those two red rectangles towards the right. Those are jumpers connecting 2 black pins together. There are 2 columns of 3 pins each.
As you can see from the text on the board, on the left side if you connect the top and middle pin it is in ALT mode. If you connect the bottom and middle pin it is in MAME mode.
On the right side, the top 2 pins are USB and the bottom 2 are PS2.
Newer boards don't have these pins. They can auto-sense PS2 or USB and they all default to a MAME configuration and the act of programming them changes the configuration

i see.
Well after looking, it seems i do have jumpers and it looks like its set to both Mame and PS2. I have PS2 Ports just like on the board shown. But as far as the controls go, I just wanted something kind of universal. such as player one being QWE,ASD, for six buttons. I have Maximus arcade, Mame, mugen, and emulators for all your basic consoles. I know you can change the controls in those, but the default key config on the IPac is kinda wacky.
Well is the jumpset my problem then? or it is a software to hardware issue with a missing plug in or something?
omnivorism:
alright. i switched the jumper from MAME to ALT. ill give it another shot soon and see if that makes a difference.

If the jumper is set to MAME, then the IPAC will be using the MAME defaults. So, it should behave with an untouched install of MAME.

That did not solve it.
Now the newest version of winpac still says "time out"
and the older version (1.0.16) tells me "programing IpAc Please wait.... resetting Ipac.... FAILED (page 1) Adust Download Speed"and "reconnect ipac".
I have tried varies speeds ranging from slowest to fastest and various ones in between.
Any ideas?
