Hi.I am trying to get my arcade controls on my arcade machine wich has a jamma connection and is connected to a jpac device. I have a ps/2 to usb adaptor on my jpac and a usb cable from that to ny raspberry pi2. When I run advance mame on my rpi2 and try to configure controls with my arcade machine. No buttons or joystick movement is registering? The led light on the jpac is showing that its connected to raspberry pi2 as well.Can anyone please help a linux noob here to get it working please?
If I need to install linux drivers. Could someone please tell me what to type in the command box?

Do I need both a adaptor & usb cable?
How are these different to an ordinary adaptor and usb cable?
Why does it work with windows without this specific cable?
To make sure. This combo of this cable you have told me works without any problems on the rpi2?
Ie when you configure start button in mame on raspi it emulates key 1 then?

I don't know anything specific about the rpi2 or linux.
I just know that in the past, people have had problems trying to use PS/2 to USB adapters with the JPAC and IPAC and their solution was to get a PS/2 to USB cable from Ultimarc.
If you have specific questions, you might want to send an email to andy @ ultimarc.com to see if he can help.

There's three different cables on the page...
http://www.ultimarc.com/store/product.php?xProd=6
You select which cable using a radio button...
Cable Type:
O USB Cable for pre-2015 I-PAC (+$4.00)
O PS/2 Cable for pre-2015 boards
O VGA Cable for J-PAC (+$4.00)
I think you want "USB Cable for pre-2015 I-PAC", but I'm not 100% sure that's the correct cable. Again, email andy @ ultimarc.com to make sure.

Many thanks the cable did the trick and now the jamma controls are working perfectly with the raspberry pi .

Hey Traso, isn't this utility for Windows? 99% of the people in this thread seem to be running AdvanceMAME on Linux on a Raspberry Pi 2.

I vaguely thought of that. Possibly/probably not cross-compatible, but ya never know. I recall that people have typically had issues with Linux and peripherals, so it could simply be the kernel...or an obscure command it needs.
