Silly me. Brain is really ticking now! Counting the grounds, the IPAC has exactly 30 inputs. 28 inputs plus 2 grounds. That's one ground for each player/connection. Guess what PC joysticks use? You all know it: DB15's!!!! This is awesome. I can use pc joystick extension cables for all my hacks!!! I'll use 2 DB15's on my IPAC. Listen to this: This is amazing. The PSX has one dpad - 4 inputs, 8 regular buttons - 8 inputs, and 1 start and 1 select button - 2 inputs. You counting? That's 14 inputs plus one ground = 15. Hehe. I'm not sure if Andy planned it this way but if not then these coincidences are awesome. This is how I'm doing it. I'm gonna have a bunch of console controllers for my cab with pc joystick cables. :)
