First: I don't want to plug neogeo cartridges and the ipac together :-)
I want to plug the original NeoGeo sticks, also known as "joyboards" (the word "boards" alone is a bit misleading, I assume) to the ipac so that I can play neogeo games in mame or neoragex with the original input device.
Is there any possiblity?
I have been looking for a good arcade stick for the pc for a long time and the only one I liked -beside the "original" - was the old neogeo stick from mas system. Some time ago you could read on their website that they are working on an ibm-compatible stick and so I decided to wait for it. But a few weeks ago I saw that they don't offer the old 4 button stick (which I hoped to connect to the pc) anymore, only the "standard" 8-button one, suitable for a lot of system incl. the pc.
Still searching for a solution I found the ipac site and from the description it seemed as if I could plug the ipac to the pc and the neogeo stick to the ipac - and was already seeing myself playing neogeo games in my favourite emulators with a bit more of the "real" feeling.
Is this a dream or a possible reality? :-)
