When the u360 is mapped as a 4-way diagonal - then the mame in-game config won't accept the diagonal mapping - I can't remap the up/down/left/right.

The standard 4-way diagonal map that UltraStik comes with isn't any good for Q*Bert.  You need to make a special map that translates diagonals into non-diagonals.  Looks like this. . .



I tried this map and it worked like a charm for me.

Inebriated!   :P

Seriously though, I'll probably play with my 8-way joystick and just figure out how to do what I want to do.  Will probably cost me quite a few "practice" games.  ;D

TheShanMan:

Jdurg, see my post at the top. It's easy to configure an 8-way to work with diagonal games so that the diagonals work as expected.

GAJoe:

Personally, I learned to play Q*Bert on the Atari 2600, so my brain is trained to play it with a regular joystick.  I considered getting an eStik for it, but couldn't justify getting a fancy stick just for it that wouldn't even feel right to me after playing Q*Bert for 20+ years the other way.
