JPac with IPac?

(1/2) > >>

helpmebuild:
So I have a Jpac which I am planning on using as the cab is JAMMA right now, but currently have a 2 player control panel that uses 7 buttons per player plus a player start, and coin button each....making it a total of 9 buttons per player on the cab total. As I understand Jpac doesn't support this many buttons per player, I was under the impression I could combine the Jpac with an Ipac to get the required number of buttons per player that I need.

Are there any tricks to this, or things I should know, in terms of how to connect these? Do the extra buttons going to the Ipac need to be daisy chained for example? Or can I just connect the Japc to the Ipac via PS/2 and connect the extra buttons I need straight to the Ipac and set it up that way?

Anyone who has their cab set-up like this, could you be so kind as to help me out?

The JPac will do 8 buttons per player PLUS the coin-ups and the start buttons.

So, no worries.

Hmmmmm so maybe a more defined answer is in order.......I am installing 32 buttons on a 2 player mame cp with a spinner, a trackball, 2-360 joys and 2 wico ball joys to compliment the 360's for smash tv.

Did I leave out that I have a rotary joystick that I wanted to install but I think my board is slight crowded now.....


So.....beyond the escape of running a couple of these on usb's.......when I connect my Ipac to my Jpac.....is there going to be an issue with joining the two? is there any trick to running these 2 together?

Is this for the same setup as the OP ?

EDIT: I don't think that it is, but the whole "maybe a more defined answer is in order" (pretense much?) phrasing implies that it is related ... if it isn't, let's split off into a new thread and keep things clean.

32 buttons?  You think your board is crowded?  I'd love to see a sketch up.
