Aurich, how has your luck been with the plugin?

Actually I just tried to get it working today for the first time, and after reading that link have it up and running. :) It seems to work great, thanks so much for writing this for the community.

The file you downloaded from the Ultimarc site is an installation program. Run the installation program and make note of which directory you chose to install it into (the default is fine, but make a note of it). Then, after that is installed edit the PATH environment variable to contain the directory you installed the program into. Follow the PATH variable editing instructions in the link I posted above.
All should work after that.

I just wanted to report that squirellydw's problems have been solved. He had a misplaced directory and needed to enable joysticks in his mame.ini. To do this, edit mame.ini and change 'joystick 0' to 'joystick 1'.
Enjoy!

I have followed all instructions but I cannot get this working.
I installed UltraMap and edited my Path variable. I see the plugin within MaLa. Do I have to create .ugc files for each game? I thought MaLa would default to some configuration based on type of game? Where does MaLa get that information (to default to).
I tried the following:
Run UltraMap and map to 2 way left/right
Run MaLa and open PacMan - joys are stuck to 2 way/left right
If I change map within UltraMap, everything works fine - I just can't get it to work on the fly with the UltraStikMap plugin.
I've tried this with Mame 1.08 and Mame 1.11, and with the latest release of MaLa and the plugin.
Thanks

Does the plugin show up in the MaLa options->plugins tab? Make sure it does. If it does, then follow the directions below:
* Stop MaLa
* Create the file umappler.log in the MaLa directory (not the Maps or plugins directory)
* Start MaLa
* Try starting 4 or 5 games
* Stop MaLa
* Send the umapper.log file to me at gmail DOT com, username fatfingersbyoac
I will look at the file and see what issues you might be having.
Edit: You do not have to create map files for each game. MaLa tells the plugin what control type the game uses (along with rom name, clone of name, etc.). The plugin then uses that information to determine which map file to use. Once the map file is determined it is checked for existence. If it exists, it is applied. The maps need to be in a Maps subdirectory of the MaLa directory. So, if your MaLa directory is C:\MaLa, then your maps directory is C:\MaLa\Maps.

Thanks, I'll check this when I get home.
