You could easily have removed the controller side ends and put them in an IPAC. I understand, though admittedly didn't know about, the 'modes' feature (just like X-arcade), but shortly after having my X-arcade and learning more about MAME, I didn't see any novelty in it.
I'm just saying: since you spent the money, and opened up the box to do anything, I would've spent less and gone with a modern encoder.
Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.
