      Hello, i recently bought a cabinet that had, what appears to be, a very old i-pac ps/2 controller in it. This particular version does not look like the one on the website here:
      https://www.ultimarc.com/control-interfaces/i-pacs/i-pac-2-classic-ps-2-version

      It does not look like that. The model in my cabinet has two ps/2 ports on opposite ends. They are labeled PC and KBD.

      Question is will retropie support this old ipac controller via a ps/2 to usb controller? And if so would I follow the programming instructions here?
      https://www.ultimarc.com/legacy-winipac-documentation
      Would i put the ps2 port in KBD or PC?

      Or would it be best to just buy a new updated ipac?

      Thanks!

        The page above doesn't exist - the site shows an error for a missing page.

        I'm not sure, but if the IPAC identifies as a keyboard and it works without additional drivers, then it should be ok - RetroPie (or Linux rather) can use the keyboard.
