This is a cross-post I posted in the main forum...think it goes here too... What is the best way to have the U360 automatically map the correct joysticks in my emulators (MAME and other consoles)? I know you guys don't manually map the joysticks every time you play a game... I do understand that it will "work" out of the box as analog, but Andy seems to think it's better to map the sticks if you can. I've read posts from people who say that there are joystick maps pre-built that you can have automatically applied, via your Front End software, but I can't seem to find much info on them. Andy acknowledges that the GameEx and Mala front ends might support this, but is unsure about HyperSpin - that's the front end I'm using. Here's Andy's email to me: Mame will automatically map an analog stick to the game and this applies to the U360. But its more accurate to send maps to the stick. I should really know what, if any, front ends support auto-sending of maps. I do know that Game-Ex requested the info on this and also Mala but I have lost track of what software actually implemented it. Sorry I don’t have much helpful info on this. I really need to research this and add the info to our site. If anyone knows the best way I can utilize my U360 with HyperSpin, has info on automapping (I don't even know how to achieve this), or has any suggestions in general, I appreciate it. -Eddie |

You will want to use LEDBlinky with Hyperspin to auto assign your U360 maps. There is an option in HyperHQ for LEDBlinky, you will want to check that and enter the install path. Then setup LEDBlinky to use with your U360 and Hyperspin. Instructions and download are here: http://dndw.com/ledblinky/ledblinky.htm Hope this helps! Hyperspin seems difficult to setup up, but the end result is amazing! jason |

The GameEx frontend also has a plugin that will automatically send the correct map to the U360 when a game is launched. And it's a bit easier to configure than Hyperspin. But they are both great programs. Kudos to their authors! :cheers: |

Jason, Invaluable info man, thanks so much! I will be looking into LEDBlinky. Thanks again, ~DJ |

Very interesting. I figured the U360 would interact/ map with MAME directy, not the frontend. |
