Crippius Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 HiPainting is done. 2 primer and 5 black coats. Its not totally perfect but I give up. I hate painting and I don't have the will nor the patience to spend one week on this. I tried to wet sand between coats but that not really worked the way I would.That's not bad anyway.So I worked late yesterday to mount the buttons, IT and Audio. Everything's good.To answer tthurman: the trackball is not steel but illuminated... And I absolutely hate it. I ordered a blue and received this ugly green. I will have to either change their LEDs with blue or remove them.Drawer Opened/ClosedThat's the bottom CP when the drawer is opened: everything's accessible so its very convenient for maintenance and 4/8 way switch. Somewhat clear wiring wiringTomorrow I'll show you some pictures in darkness with all the blue light fancy things I put everywhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crippius Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yesterday evening I placed all the button LEDS and micro switches, then I made a daisy-chain out of power wires that I recuperated on 2 old PSU.

Crippius Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 A few questions from an IPAC2 noob to pros 1. I thought to assign the IPAC SHIFT to the PAUSE key, which is the white on the middle edge. Is that a good idea ? Apparently it is set by default on P1 Start.2. I have placed 2 buttons on each side for the flipper, where should I plug them? I mean which IPAC2 entry is the more convenient in terms of gameplay, config and usability? I have never played with your flipper emulators.3. I absolutely need an efficient and highly responsive combination to control the volume. It should be WINDOWS WIDE, and not MAME/GameEx only.I thought to SHIFT (Pause) + joystick or trackball up and down. Is this a good idea and as anyone have a good working software/plugging for doing that? Something win7 compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Have you posted this over at BYOAC?I have an older ipac2, but Jack at Arcades R Fun built my controller (yep, I took the easy way out) so I never delved into the world of initial setup on these.
