Daniel has been fantastic helping me out via emails, i bought his plans and built the exact same unit and he still continues to help me some 10 months later. thanks for this video mate it goes hand in hand with your advice..
Thank you Rob!!
Awesome tutorial ! 👍
Thank you for uploading this video again! I couldnt find it for a while.
Thank you Daniel !!!!!! Great Job, great Cabinet, great Video !
Very cool ;) I'm currently rewiring my ipac and doing backups to all my arcades. lots of work.. ;)
Very informative Daniel, now im sure i can do this, however, you need to keep pay attention or you get confused though, I think if you would have a complete map of your actual board there, with the corresponding keyboard mapping, instead of separate pdfs with parts of the mapping. However not every board you make is the same off course. But i enjoyed the video, always catches my attention and i get excited when i see you got a new video out. So keep them coming! groetjes!
Great job !
Sei il top!
Merci beaucoup ... j'adore votre travail !
Merci 🙏🏼
Amazing tutorial, but you answered my most upsetting question throughout this whole process with this video! What the heck is that blue drink he's drinking, I kept thinking! And low and behold, you state what it is you're drinking! @ 6:40! Haha, amazing! Here, have a like! :)
Haha thanks. #windowcleaner
Daniel is the best.
Glad to know you weren't drinking window cleaner. Nothing like a little Windex to wake you up in the morning, eh? :)
Nice pnbel, but should keep the control panel simple, having that flight stick on the panel makes it look like a Frankenstein panel.
There is something to be said about streamlining, less is sometimes more.
Awesome! You mentioned you use Chris Shaws drives, do you know if it’s possible to connect a Xarcade2Tv cabinet to a NAS storing Shaws 48TB drives?
Hi, Wow that sounds awesome. I can't tell you if it will work. You better ask Chris this question! Let me know when your setup is running. Would love to see that. Thanks Daniel
I’m going this route as well…question: When using two Ultimarc Ultimate I/O boards with Mister, do they show up in the Mister control configuration menu as separate PID’s? Presently, Mister seems to have a problem recognizing more than one PID at a given time (I.e. keyboard (IPAC) + USB joystick).
Hi, you should be fine with two Ultimate boards inserted in two USB ports of the Mister. Also, make sure the second board is ID2 (firmware update needed). Let me know if this works!
Daniel this is a great video. Do you have the second video where you configure the second board? Thanks
Hi, no sorry! Will try to make another one in the future.
Hi Daniel, I love your control boards with no visible screws. What size is the wood and laminate to allow the trim to cover them both? If I go with standard dimension the trim would not cover the wood board and laminate top.
Hi, the T-Molding is 18mm, the MDF panel is 19mm and the plexiglass is 3mm. So the Tmoling does not cover the plexiglass. This way, the side of the plexiglass is lit because of the LED buttons. If you like to fully cover the side of your panel; go for 16mm MDF and 3 mm plexiglass. That way the T-Molding will cover everything (you won't notice the 1 mm difference)
Good luck!
@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades the company building my cabinet has never did this and said it would cause problems with dust getting in between panel and plexiglass. Have you noticed this on your builds?
@@inthegetto55122 no, it will work out fine 👍🏽
Awesome video again! Great help for us newbies. One question though, you do not seem to mention what kind of software you use in the cabinets you build. Mainly windows OS with hyperspin, or do you use game elf or pandora box also sometimes?
Hyperspin! You can buy a ready to go drive from Chris Shaw on Hyper Arcade Systems.com
If you wanna play on a real game console just how your build is already right now. Place your arcade on dinput mode. You also need a Titan 1 attached to the game console and the USB cord that comes with the Titan connected to the pc. Turn on the Gtuner software for Titan 1. Go to tools, look for device. Place the "output" on the game console you have. So if you have Nintendo switch. You put the output on Nintendo switch. Click close, then open "Max Aim DI" go to Direct input. Look for your IPAC controller that's in dinput mode. Go to device monitor to confirm controller is working correctly. After you found your controller. You must map the arcade buttons to the game controller layout. Save the layout you mapped by click on export. Import will load the profile whenever you need it. After you completely mapped controller, you can start gaming on your arcade system to real game console. Note ....PC must be running at all times with Max Aim DI running all the time. Also .....this method only allows 1 player to work. The hard truth is.... zero delay encoders are better than 1 IPAC. If you wanted true 4 player gaming on real game consoles. You would use a combination of 4 zero delay encoders and 4 Titan 1 adapters. The setup will be different from the first method I told you. You would map out each zero delay encoders with 4 Titan 1 one by one with xmapper instead of max Aim di so you don't have to keep the PC running 24/7. After you programmed all 4 Titan 1. Stick all the Titan 1 inside the game console. Then stick all 4 zero delay encoders USB cord inside the game console. You don't need the program cord for the Titan 1 anymore. Just the zero delay encoder cords. If you can offered it, go with 4 Titan 1 and 4 zero delay encoders. Right now you with the rig you have can only program 1 player for real game console.
Wow , I don't think I actually understand all of this but Thanks ;-)
Hi Daniel! First of all my huge Respect to your work and to your Chanel! I really love your work and it inspired me to build my own cabinet for my Self. Do you have any tips how to Start? How to draw a plan of the cabinet? Is it better to go with a windows PC or a raspberry pi? Is it possible to use the i-pac ultimate also on a playstation 4/5? I. Hope i dont ask to much 🫣
Best greetings from Vienna
Got in touch already by mail right? Regards D
Hi Daniel, can you assign player 3 and 1 on the ultimate IO as player 1 and 2 . And then 2 and 4 on the other or do you have to configure as you video .
Thanks
Hi, I am working on a new building series as you might have seen already, in part 5 I will install everything in detail. And you are correct, I use player 1 and 2 inputs on Ipac board one as for player 1 and 3. Keep an eye out for PART5 of the Pedestal building series. Thanks Daniel
@TheDanielSpies I have 2 ipac ultimate IO controllers, when I was setting up the LED blinky I only had one ipac connected to map all the buttons to LED blinky. However when I tried to do the other ipac controller (unplugging the one I already did) led blinky wizards states that it's already mapped and that it will wipe the setup if I continued. Any idea how I can make led blinky map both ipacs without overwriting the other?
Or create a tutorial video that will help others in my situation.
Any help is appreciated.
You will need to set the second IO to ID2 by flashing the firmware first 👍🏼 that will solve the Ledblinky problem.
Do you know if the firmware for a second board is needed if you are using 1 Ultimate I/O board and 1 PACLed64 board from ultimarc?
No ID2 firmware needed. This is only needed when using dual ipac setups. Thanks, Daniel
Which IO board do the pinball buttons plug into? Does it matter?
Hi, It does not matter. You configure them in WinIpac. Many thanks,
Daniel
Hello Daniel, can this same setup be done with one ultimate IO and one ipac mini?
Hi, I think so yes. But to be 100% sure, you should ask Andy Warne this at Ultimarc. Thanks, Daniel
Hi, Daniël. Can you provide the link to the control panel button mapping images? Can't tell if they are on Ultimarc's site or some other site. Thanks, Nick.
They are on the Chris Shaw 'Hyper Arcade System Drive' by default. They are standard X-Arcade layouts. I don't have them at hand here. Send me an email if you need any help. Thanks, Daniel
@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades Thank you!
I'm gonna attempt to build one myself....
Go for it, you will have a great time doing it! Thanks, D
Can I use a pacled64 with the ultimate IO to extend the number of rgb buttons.. I I have 38 but can only use 32 on my Ultimate
Packled is only for driving the leds of the buttons. Not the button presses themselves. You would need another Ultimate IO board and set that ID number to #ID2
I would like to make a new botton box for my Farm Simulator Game as i've built a cockpit with 80+ buttons[ i've got Pictures]. Would you use the I-Pac Ultimate. i'm using 80+ 5v Led Buttons has 5 cables coming from it Power, Ground, Common Pin, Normal Closed Pin, Normal Open Pin or what would you recommend. the buttons are 19mm, i dont thing they have built in resistors, i can have the LED ring on all the time or off, when LED off you press the button and the LED Ring lights up. i've got it wired up to 4 x 20 output basic arcade encoder but when pluged into the computer only 5 out of the 8 outputs sections working [ it must be a game thing,when i fiddle about you get it to work but in different 5 Section 1-5, 8-4, 2-6]. the encoder has 2 x 10 led outputs for the switches. would the I-Pac Ultimate be best and if so who would you wire it up. can you use the RGB wires for three switches and the negitive on to a daisy chain. The power cable would daisy chain to all three switches. What wiring harnesses would we require to do the job
are you on face book
Thanks
Kevin
Hi Kevin, this is s bit too much to respond to on UA-cam. You can email me with your questions and attached pictures and I will try to help out.
Will be outside the country for the coming three weeks so take your time 👍🏼 thanks,
Daniël
Wondering what you have mapped and configured to the stream deck buttons
One page I mapped with shortcuts to Hypermarquee, Hyperspin, RocketLauncher UI, Servo Stick 4 way, Servo 8 way, Led on off etc. Page 2 has shortcuts to classic arcade games, page 3 has modern STEAM games.
Is it possible to just use player 1 and 2 ports on both ipacs to run all 4 players if you're not using rgb buttons? As I want to use a 6 button layout for players 3 and 4 and already have the 1 and 2 player wiring for both ipacs?
Hi, the RGB feature is not correlated to any of the button input ports. So yes, you can map any input port to be used as any button you desire 👍🏽 thanks,
Daniël
@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades thanks for the help really appreciate it as a newbie to all of this your videos are helping a lot and inspiring me to make changes to my original design as I now want to add some light guns to my build 😁
Are these key codes only for hyperspin or do they work for retropie as well? As I can't seem to find all the key codes for retropie 4 player anywhere 😔
I don't think Retropie can handle 4 players...
@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades this is not good news 😔 looks like it's time to save some money for hyperpie I guess, I appreciate the help tho
Do you sell plans to your builds?
Yes :-) email me for what you would need. thedanielspies-at-gmail
I have alot of questions. As you know I have the stream deck, raspberry pi 4, I pac 4, and the super starter kit uno r3 project. With that said make a video on what I can do with those 4 things please 🙏.
Hi, keep an eye out for new video’s on my channel for fun builds and tutorials 👍🏽 thanks D
@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades will the new videos will pertains to the 4 items I mentioned for my arcade machine what to do with them. Thanks
Oh by the way the waveshare 5 inch screen they was gracious to send me instead of 4 inches screen I knew it cuz I installed the raspberry pi behind the screen and it was a little bigger not saying nothing but thanks.
Does the ipac work with xbox series X?
this is great but i wonder how to do this with a raspberry pi instead of a pc
Do you sell custom control panels?
Yes I do custom build so now and then. Email me if you are interested. Thanks, Daniel
Long story short, it doesn't matter at all how its wired up as long as you assign the correct keys in Winpac?
Yes! indeed.

Is your email listed somewhere? I'm not seeing it.
It is in many of my video's at the end ;-)
Hello. Once again awesome stuff. I sent you emails about a custom build. Hopefully you will be able to make me something. :)). Sorry I’m nagging. Please don’t be mad at me. Lol.
