## Overview

The I-PAC 2 Arcade Game Controller Interface is a cutting-edge keyboard encoder designed for serious gamers. With dedicated microprocessor pins for each input, it eliminates delays, making it perfect for fast-paced games. It supports two players with customizable configurations, including joystick and button setups, and features additional controls for an immersive arcade experience.

## Description

Working on a MAME or Virtual Pinball machine? The Ultimarc I-PAC 2 is the ideal interface for connecting arcade controllers such as pushbuttons and joysticks to your computer! The IPAC2 is perfect for a 2 player cabinet - it has 32 inputs which are all programmable and are marked as 2 joysticks, 8 buttons each, plus coin1, coin2, start1, start2 and MAME control keys. Any inputs can be assigned as a shift key to access an alternate code set.  I-PAC is the ONLY device to have a self-test LED which not only gives an instant visible check of your installation but also can indicate which connection (if any) is causing a problem. I-PAC is the ONLY device to have a shift function which allows ANY input to be assigned to a shifted secondary keycode and the shift button can have it's own function too so no need for a dedicated extra control panel button. I-PAC is the ONLY keyboard encoder which emulates a USB keyboard and yet breaks through the USB simultaneously-pressed-switch limit of 6 switches (plus ctrl,alt,shift) which afflicts all USB keyboard devices.

## Features

- I-PAC is the ONLY keyboard encoder where each input inputs has it's own dedicated microprocessor pin. No interaction or delays, vital for multi-button games such as fighting games.
- I-PAC is much more than a keyboard encoder! Pins can be configured as mouse buttons or game controller buttons, plus power and volume control.
- Supports 2 players with a joystick, 8 player buttons, plus coin and start buttons for both players, as well as a SpinTrak Spinner and U-Trak Trackball

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this be used for a button box on a windows PC so that windows would recognize it as a multi-button joystick controller?**
A: Yes, the IPAC2 by default is seen by Windows as a keyboard device and supports 2 players with 8 buttons and 1 joystick each.  You can remap the inputs as needed to any keypress.  If the game/application requires a gamepad device instead of keyboard inputs you can change the IPAC with its Multi-mode firmware.  See the "Multi-Mode" tab on this page for details:  https://www.ultimarc.com/control-interfaces/i-pacs/i-pac2/

**Q: Will this work good with fighting games from the early 2000s lile Mvsc2 and Cvs2 on a Dreamcast emulator?**
A: The IPAC is a keyboard interface, so if the Dreamcast emulator uses keyboard presses for all the inputs the IPAC will work perfectly.

**Q: My build, flight sim helicopter collective. 8 buttons, one analog 0-5v optical encoder collective. Is this an appropriate board for that project?**
A: It does have a spinner/trackball input that may work for your optical input, but the IPAC does not have an analog input.  The A-PAC would be used for an analog (potentiometer) input, however it only supports switches and analog, no optical:  https://www.amazon.com/Analog-Arcade-Controller-Interface-Cable/dp/B071R5YKWP/

**Q: Can i do a control shift and a key? shortcuts for ms teams?**
A: I believe the software allows you to create a macro using several keys

    Failed after less than a month of use. Very disappointed! But support so far has been good.
  

*by B***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021*

Was easy to set up and worked great - for about a month - then failed completely. Now computer doesn't see it when plugged into usb port. Paid $40 for this product - given reputation - very, very disappointed! Lots of zero delay encoders out there for less than 1/4 the price..10/16/21 update - add three more stars for really fast/responsive support. I emailed them test results plus pictures. After some additional tests, they sent me a return label and said they would send a replacement. I sent the defective unit back yesterday.10/28/21 update - Received and installed the replacement and it works. Moved my switches back from the kl25z back to the ipac. It's nice not to have to use joytokey. Add another star because of how they back their product and super support. Definitely 5 star.

    Love this adaptor for my virtual pnball machine!
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2021*

The iPac is a necessary item for my virtual pinball machine.  The product works to convert the button signals into keystrokes that Visual Pinball and Future Pinball use to control the tables you play.The iPac settings were straighforward but tricky to figure out which wire is going to reprsent which key.  There is software to configure the iPac.  The graphical display helps a lot to show which wired connection will be assign to any keystroke you wish. You can set up a macro of multiple keys if your software needs that feature.I did contact the company with a set up question and I did get a personal answer that helped.I find the device works very well in my pinball cabinet.

    Great for Steam / CoinOps
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021*

I used this to replace the Xin-Mo USB encoder that ships with the Atari Ultimate stick. I went through a handful of different USB encoders (minus a Brooks), and this was by far the best option for what I wanted. Allows you to toggle between keyboard input (defaults to MAME mapping) and Xinput (which is treated as an actual Xbox controller) on the fly. Solved my issues trying to troubleshoot Steam / CoinOps compatibility, preserves player order without additional work, and still works great with a Pi. Great software to remap inputs. If you’re debating between this and a Zero Delay encoder, and are interested in using CoinOps on Windows (even occasionally) this would be my pick.
