X-Box Control Adaptor




Please note this is an end-of-life product with limited stock. This adaptor works only with pre-2015 I-PAC boards with the PS/2 interface cable.


cased x-box adaptor
Adaptor with optional case

The X-Box Adaptor converts the output from the I-PAC (must be in PS/2 keyboard mode) into XBox commands. The controls connected to the I-PAC emulate the controls on the XBox controller as shown in the tables below. Important Note: The XBox controller contains some analog controls, and your arcade control panel has switch-type controls. This means that pressing each switch simulates the analog control being pushed hard across. Some games (flight sims for example) cannot be played with switch-type controls.

This adaptor can also be used with a keyboard. The keys shown in the tables below, simulate the actions of the XBox controller.

The I-PAC controls shown in the tables are only valid if the MAME default codeset is being used in the I-PAC. If the I-PAC has been programmed with a different codeset, the button assignments will be different.

Hotkeys for Switching Modes
Switch to Digital Mode Start1/P1 Down* P
Switch to Left Analog Mode Start1/P1 Left* Enter
Switch to Right Analog Mode Start1/P1 Right* Tab
Switch to 2 into 1 Mode Start1/P2 Down** F12

Tip: You can remember these keys by looking at the XBox controller, and the positions of each control.

* These are I-PAC shift functions, ie hold down P1 Start

** This is not part of the default I-PAC codeset. The function is suggested only

and can be programmed into the I-PAC if needed.
