So...where'd you get that thing and how much was it?

It took several tries to get it right, otherwise it would map the axis to X and Y.

The thing with mapping a touchscreen is that MAME looks for where the cursor has moved relative to its last known position.
It works easier if you just tap instead of swiping, but you have to tap once before mapping the control to establish a last known position.
(and not tap again until it's waiting for input to map the control)

Mapping the axis goes like this:

Tap the left side of the screen before mapping the axis.  Use keyboard keys to navigate to the x axis input and use ENTER to select it for mapping.
Now touch the right side of the screen directly accross from where you touched the first time.  If you touch too far higher or lower, you've also moved on the Y axis.

Before mapping the Y axis, touch the bottom of the screen.  Use keyboard keys to navigate to the y axis input and use ENTER to select it for mapping.
Now touch the screen directly above where you touched the last time.  If you touch too far left or right, you've also moved on the X axis.
 (it's really not that picky)
