I-Pac2
- http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html
- The I-PAC (Interface for Pc to Arcade Controls) is a board that
allows connection of arcade controls (such as buttons and joysticks)
to a keyboard port or USB port on a PC motherboard. It was designed
around the MAME emulator but can be used easily with other emulators.
- The I-PAC uses a Cypress CY7C63413 programmable microcontroller
chip.
- There is no multiplexing or sharing of input ports. All inputs
have their own dedicated pin on the chip, leaving you with absolutely
no ghosting, blocking, etc.
- Special shift function buttons mean that a normal keyboard is
only needed for game loading and configuration, not for gameplay.
- All key codes can be programmed, but you dont have to. You can
set a jumper which enables all standard MAME codes for quick and
easy installation.
- The I-PAC2 has 28 inputs. They are all programmable and are
designated as two joysticks with eight buttons each plus coin1,
coin2, start1, start2. One of the inputs is assigned as a shift key
to access an alternate code set.
- No separate power needed.
- Connection details are available on the Ultimarc Web site.
