Pacto 4000H Users Guide Rev 20221101 Intro The Pacto 4000H is a 4 Player Xinput arcade control interface for arcade cabinets. When plugged into a computer, your arcade cabinet joysticks and buttons will be seen as 4 separate Xbox 360 controllers. Xinput (Xbox controller format) offers better compatibility compared to the older “direct input” or keyboard type inputs for most applications.
Pacto 4000H Users Guide Rev 20221101 Wiring All button and joystick inputs should be wired with one side to ground. The “mode” pins are optional to wire with buttons, or a permanent jumper. All modes except for interlock mode can be accessed through long-pressing various start or select buttons (refer to tables on later pages).
Pacto 4000H Users Guide Rev 20221101 Connectors The Pacto 4000H uses 2.54mm header pins which are compatible with “Female Dupont 2.54mm” connectors. Custom cables can be built using a crimper with female DuPont connectors, or prefabbed cables can be found. The board follows the same pinout as the Brook fight stick boards, and is therefore compatible with the pre-made wiring harness available.

Retro arcade games are generally covered by 6 buttons for the middle positions for 2 player games, and 4 buttons on the outside positions for 4 player games.

The “modes” can be completely ignored if not wanted or needed. Most games will function in the default mode.

This is a completely unique feature for this encoder which combines all 4 joysticks and buttons to behave as 2 Xbox controllers. The player 1 and 2 joysticks on the cabinet will behave as player 1 left and right stick. The player 3 and 4 joysticks on the cabinet will behave as player 2 left and right joystick.
Pacto 4000H Users Guide Rev 20221101 INT (Interlock Start/Back) Interlock mode helps avoid accidentally exiting games by pressing start and select at the same time (a common shortcut used for MAME/CoinOps/Hyperspin). Start and select must be held together for 2 seconds before being sent at the same time. Jumper “INT” pin to ground to activate. Unlike every other mode, it is simply enabled or disabled by a jumper, and does not stay activated when momentarily pressed.
