I use a Ipac2 For my keyboard Interface
It is wired when you release the button it sends the signal to start the game
But it is so fast and I think the Rom is to slow that it doesn’t recognize it
Example  – NBA (MAC 1986)  — https://vpinball.com...s/nba-mac-1986/
Is there something that could be added to this file so when I released the button it makes the computer think I’m holding the button for like 1 second

How do you have it wired?

usually you have a N/O switch, and when you press it, the Ipac sends the key assigned to that button
and if you continue to hold it down, it continues to send that key.


If you feel the need to empty your wallet in my direction, i don't have any way to receive it anyways

yea, but i am not getting why yours is not sending a continual keypress, and only a momentary blip?

when i hold shift and joy 1 down, it sends pagedown until i let go
and if i dont hold shift and hold joy 1 down, it sends down arrow until i let go

It sends the number 1 key press when you let go of it

I asked someone else, they said their Ipac is set up that what too
It only shifts on release

I wonder how i have mine set up, it's been so long
