I actually want my ipac to be recognized as a keyboard. There is an issue with certain keys not working in MAME or being mapped to other functions, such as the P key is for pause or S is for start so you can't use those.

what part are you stuck on?

@@bossrobotgames at the top right hand corner it says "Board FW Version 1.44 Keyboard-only Firmware and at the bottom center in red it says "Board is in Keyboard Mode". Every tutorial I see does not show this. I am basically at the beginning of this and clueless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im trying to get this programmed for my computer in my cabinet that is going to run hyperspin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@@vegasmike5300 I never ran into that problem. Can you still change the key inputs with the drop down menus? If you can I wouldn't worry too much about the difference. There is a forum post here where the guy says he contacted ultimarc and they said he had an older link for the winipac software. This post doesn't make very much sense to me. It sounds like it is time to contact ultimarc and send them a picture of your screen.forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=160213.0 Here is the link I used to download winipac. www.ultimarc.com/control-interfaces/i-pacs/i-pac2/?selected_section=product_tab_25#product_tab_25

You're already where you need to be. The programming is so the computer can read the raw inputs from the board. Without a way to program the inputs, these devices are useless.

That winIPAC program reprograms the board. The ipac will work on windows or android like the raspberry pi.

I'm pretty sure it is possible if using USB mouse, I'm not sure which ultimarc boards allow two mouse inputs. You can use two computer mice for shooter games and a trackball is recognized in MAME as a mouse. You have to create a mame.ini file and then there should be a couple of options to change in that file to enable multimouse, and enable the mouse as an input.

I got them here, and used the IL/suzo happ clear button. paradisearcadeshop.com/products/il-lumination-rgb-5vdc-led?_pos=2&_sid=0e1335d49&_ss=r

You can create macro's within the software. You create marco, example.....a,a,a,a,a then you assign that macro into 1 button of your choice.

I never had one of those but the ultimarc website says it's fully programmable so I think it will.
