Is anyone using this new version (1.2.03)? Any luck? Any bad luck?
Thanks!

With the limited playtime since you've released this update, everything on my system seems to be working as I'd expect. The GUI setup installed all the maps and things in the right place (from what I can tell), and it was actually the first time I was able to play QBert using the diagonals.
So far, my only complaint is that it appears that map switching sometimes takes a long time to finish, sometimes it happens faster. During this uploading time, there is no indication that you've selected a game correctly from the Mala list, as all the map loading happens before the "launching" box pops up. Because there is no indication a game has been chosen, I've found that company starts button mashing and asking if they are choosing correctly.
Maybe an optional pop-up or something would help with this? Other then that, seems good on my end. I did not have this plug-in loaded prior to installation btw.

I'm glad to hear you can now play Q*Bert properly and that things are generally well. I suppose I could pop up a box saying 'programming stick(s)' or something, but I'm not sure most people would want that. Unfortunately, I cannot speed up the programming part of the process as that is actually UltraMap that is doing the programming, not my plugin.

I recently upgraded my MAME computer and installed this awesome plug-in on my new machine and had one snag that I thought I would post here for others who may have a similar setup.
If you have 4 UltraStiks installed and you have UltraMap set up to require all 4 UltraStiks, you'll get an UltraMap error when the plug-in runs on Mala startup and shutdown. To fix this you need to edit the .ugc files in the Mala\Map folder and add the entries in for joysticks 3 & 4.
fatfingers - great plug-in :cheers:

Thanks, guys. I'm glad it's working for you.
I've never been sure what to do about the number of joysticks to support out of the box. I've always thought 2 seemed good, but I wasn't sure. I wonder what will happen if I just set all the files to have all 4 in them?
Hmmm...
