| u360 and 4 way |

I performed some testing on 4 way games. I bought a u360 and a j-stick. I played Ms. Pacman turbo mostly but also Mr. Do and Donkey Kong. I had really subpar performance with the U360 and I wonder if I did something wrong? I have it connected via usb and changed the map to 4 way and directly input joystick commands into mame gui. Maybe Mame's mapping emulation was conflicting with the u360 but it felt really imprecise and I was clearing scoring better with the J-stick in 4 way mode. Do i need to connect the u360 through its wiring harness to get the benefits or run it through padmapper? I actually found the j-stick with an octagon restrictor to be perfect for playing pac turbo and got my highest score ever. My wife however prefered significantly the j-stick with 4 way restrictor. Hats of the J-stick but I am hoping I can get the u360 working as advertised. |

I use the U360 with the harness connected to an iPac2. I indeed think the mapping of MAME along the mapping of the stick itself conflicts preventing an optimal result. Also selecting a specific 4-way mapping table made a huge difference for me. I use the "4-Way, No Sticky (UD Bias)" one. I did not tune on a specific game but tried to make my setup as broad as possible. Beside 4-way I really like the auto switching when selecting a game from HyperSpin. I made a small application called HyperMap to achieve this: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,134128.0.html |

Reading your post it sounded like you only used a restrictor on the J-stick and not on the u360? I believe I used an octagon restrictor on mine along with the no sticky corner map as well. |

Wouldn't MAME only possibly interfere if you had the U360 in analog mode? Setting a map should keep it from being seen as analog (to my knowledge). |
