Any use for a U360 absolute mouse map?

AndyWarne:

As most will know, the UltraStik 360 can be used in "mouse pointer" mode which controls the mouse in the same way as a laptop center-keyboard pointer.
I am playing with a map which will enable the stick to work in absolute mouse mode, where the pointer follows the stick exactly. This will in effect emulate a light-gun but not sure if there is any real application for this. Any thoughts welcome.

Sounds like it would be useful if you think it works and feels ok to you.  It's one of those things where I'd have to try it to see if I can get the right feel out of it for myself, but I'd probably end up using it.

I do not own one, but it would be nice to be able to use it to navigate windows for a setup with out a trackball.  If one had a trackball, i dont see a need for that.  as you could use the trackball.

I think it would be a good idea.  if i remember there are a lot of cabs that do not have trackballs, and this would be nice.

Andy, remember that previous mouse firmware has a bug.

There is no bug as far as I am aware.
After upgrading, the first thing to do is "uninstall" the device in Device Manager and then let it re-detect. This is because the upgrade completely changes the characteristics of the device but leaves its USB ID unchanged. This is not something that would normally happen with a USB device so Windows does get a bit confused.
After that, you need to re-assign the correct joystick number (if not #1) and download a map.
