Need assistance programming iPac from gameex

[442much]

I have different .ipc files for my ipac for each emulator. I have no problems programming the MAME settings, which are also my gameex settings. The problem I have is when I try to run nulldc and re-program to map the keys for nulldc. I have gameex set the launch before, to set it up for nulldc and the launch after to restore. This does not work for either command.

When I run the install wizard and verify my setup it says file not found for both of the nulldc before/after launching of winIPAC. However, if I remove the name of the .ipc file it works (just giving the path name to winIPAC). I have cut and pasted the commands from the working setup in my mame section.

I am running Windows 7 64.

I also noticed that my launch on startup does not work. Below is the output from the Install Wizard

Verifying Emulator 3: [Console] Sega Dreamcast (nullDC)...

Launch Before: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys_nulldc.ipc" does not exist.

Launch After: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys.ipc" does not exist.

Verifying Tweaks / Performance...

Launch On Startup dont wait: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys.ipc" does not exist.

This is extracted from the config file (I added spaces before to make it easier to read)

emu_3_launchbefore= C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys_nullDC.ipc

emu_3_launchafter= C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys.ipc

LaunchOnStartNoWait= C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys.ipc

ShellBeforeLaunch= C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys.ipc

LaunchBefore= C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys_nulldc.ipc

LaunchAfter= C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys.ipc

Thanks in advance

Hi, Ive never used an iPac only a Jpac but I can see the issue with your launch commands. Windows likes things in quotes when there are spaces. Basically and without explaining why - C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys_nullDC.ipc should be "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\WinIPAC.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinIPAC\Escape_Keys_nullDC.ipc"

I also recall someone mentioning its a better practice to remap the keys in the emu or app rather than keep flashing the ipac as its degradable.
