FF, does the plugin work with other emulators?  For example, if I install Daphne, will it work if I create maps for each Daphne game or is the plugin MAME specific?

I didn't write it to be MAME-specific so who knows.  I would be willing to help you work through any issues you might have.

The plugin itself does not care what the emulator is as long as MaLa is sending the correct rom name info to the plugin.  Please let me know how I can help!

fatfingers - not sure what mala sends for controller info on non-mame emulators, but... since most other emulators have one config for the entire platform (ie, all atari2600 games are 8 way, etc), you could potentially allow the user to create generic cfgs for each emulator.  ?

I most certainly could.  If an emulator is going to go with only one controller, this should be easy for me to do.  I would just have to have the plugin listen to emulator switches and apply emulator named files at that time, I suppose.  Hmmm...but would still want the mala map while in mala, so maybe it's not that straightforward, but I could try something.

Ninten-doh: Is this something that would work for you?

Absolutely, though I'm not sure off-hand if all the Daphne game are 4-way like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.

I'll see what I can do.  However, it may take a while as I don't have Daphne installed and I'll need that for testing.

 :dunno

Did you follow the instructions in the installation document?  Does the plugin show up in the MaLa options plugin tab?  Do any of the maps work?  Just some?

The plugin does show up but nothing is working.  The last step in the instructions say you have to change a path, what path am I changing?

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.

So, if your MaLa directory is C:\MaLa, then your maps directory is C:\MaLa\Maps.

Fatfingers,

Thanks for the great plugin and the support on this thread.  I had some problems and it turned out my maps directory was in the wrong place.  This thread and the tip on umapper.log got me going.

Once installed correctly, it works like a champ!  Really getting the most out of the U360s now and loving it.

Dmod,

Glad to hear it!  It seems lots of people are having issues with the location of the Maps directory.  In the next version I will try to incorporate some feedback I have received on the doc into the doc.  Hopefully that will clear up some of the confusion.

I have looked around mala, just because I would use this plugin with my new UltraStik.

I did have similar problems to install the problems about plugins and map, but i did get this to work after found this thread again.  :D.

Maybe you should create a little install wizard on this one to make sure to get it installed correct? Here it was maps folder placed wrong.

I also found a another little quirk:
4way45degree.ugc point to a wrong name, wich it should point to "4-Way, Diagonals Only.um", wich was installed by UltraMap.

Another thing:
I'm diddent like why you need to update your path, since you can add ugc as a extension for Ultramap in Explorer. So if you run mala.ugc. Windows should start Ultramap.exe automatic when trying to run that file.

This is more commen way to do.

Otherwice an path.ini would also been fine.

Just wanted to say thanks to Fatfingers for writing this plugin and for the great support.

Hi squirrelly,

This is relatively easy to change.  I have the *.ugc files set up for only two joysticks, so that's why only two of your sticks work.  To make all four of yours work, edit each of your *.ugc files (in the Maps directory) and copy the content from the joystick 1 (or two) line into the joystick 3 and 4 lines.  If that's not clear enough, let me know!

Edit: I'm not sure if MaLa supports 4 joysticks for navigation???  I didn't read your post carefully and thought you were saying the 3rd and 4th joysticks didn't work right during game play...

The sticks work fine in game play, and I have already edited the .ugc files.  I don't need all 4 joysticks for navigation but the one I want to use I can't.  Any idea?  Maybe modify the plugin or is it more of a mala issue?

It is a MaLa issue since MaLa only recognizes two joysticks, to the best of my knowledge.  I'm assuming the two joysticks MaLa recognizes are ID 1 and ID 2, but I'm not certain.  Sorry I cannot help.

I suggest you ask someone smart like Swindus or (gasp  ;D) loadman!   ;)

Hmmm At a guess I would have said that is dependent on Windows...  So maybe install in a different order?

So unplug, restart and plug in one at a time?  Any idea if I should plug the one I want to use in first or last?

To continue with the guessing I would say first (so therefore, it is probably last  :badmood:).

I have to say is mala have a bad joystick support, since it only support 2 joysticks and 12 buttons each, so it have very touch limits here. Nothing fatfingers can do here.

You can instead try to remap these problem joystick to keyboard, using a joy2key software?

This is what I did.
