Do you have to do anything in MAME then to let MAME know you have a U360 and not the X-Arcade joystick?

Now Im not the pro on this...but i think that there might be a problem, because of the encoder that X-Gaming uses...
I know player one has to has num lock on in order to use...and i know I had to get a special ctrlr config file for mame(other than the standard), etc...
I'm not PC savy like i should be...

What is this special ctrlr config file?  Could you share it with me?  I have a X-Arcade Tankstick, but haven't set up my MAME yet.  Thanks.

For Congo Bongo and Q-bert,  is it possible to mount a 4 way diagonally to get proper functionality too?  It's something I've been planning on implementing on my 4 way panel if it'll work.

Congo Bongo, EXCELLENT!!!

This is another game I enjoyed in the arcade but playing it with a joystick programmed for just up/down and left/right I stopped playing.

I want to change the inputs of all the games that require diagonal movement.  Is there a list of these games?

above pic is a piece of another wico joystick base/leaf attach to the bottom of Happs P360. Need to change the Joystick shaft to a longer one.

I did this also with my 8-way and Q-bert controlled perfectly.

but what with what?  :dizzy:
Do I go up-right or up-left for UP and so on and so on?
Seems like there is 2 choices for one direction... :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: which one do you choose?

My joystick is set up as:

UP  =  Joystick configured to Right/Up
DOWN = Joystick configured to Down/Left
LEFT = Joystick configured to Left/Up
Right = Joystick configured to Down/Right

Assuming your joystick microswitches are in the same position as mine this should work.
