... Those of you that have the ZVG MultiVectors. How did you wire the controls?
IE, not what hardware, but which connection to which button?

Congrats on the sound (especially the PC end of it, did you use a PC speaker amp? How did you end up wiring it?
Thanks.
I am thinking of wiring up an adapter to the wiring harness for the controls. that way, I can use the existing harness and then just add the extra wires to the ipac
I chose to just use the existing wiring harness and built a loom to plug into that (for both controls and sound) from the ipac and PC speaker out. I've kept everything stock, that way I can switch it back to a real Space Duel in a few seconds. I used the AR2 to amplify the PC audio, and it works really well. I've uploaded a few pictures here;

P.S for the ESC key the ipac implements one by default. If you press P1 and P2 start at the same time it will send an ESC to the PC. For Space Duel I wired P1 and P2 start to the Start and Select buttons.
Not sure if this is answering your question, but it sounds like you don't want to use the ESC key to exit the emulator and the ESC key to exit the menu. If that is true, you can remap the keys in MAME so that a different key exits the emulator.
The menu looks to be hardcoded so we can't change that key unless we whip out the hex editor. In MAME it is easy once I remember the old format. Let me put my wayback cap on and think about it for a minute. Which version of VectorMAME are you using?
Is it this one, VectorMAME
Actually, I think its in the default.cfg file
