The -joystick_map is only for analog to digital convertion.  However,

Mame's standard remap can be used for what you want.  Map the joy's diagonals to the game's cardinal directions, as follows IIRC:
p1 up: joy up & right
p1 right: joy right & down
p1 down: joy down & left
p1 left: joy left & up

Slap forehead.

I should have thought of that.  Guess Ill have to do it as manual configs for the games that need it.  Thanks as always Rebel!

Yeah massive88, that approach works great for me using my 8 way stick.

Won't it end up being a bit unresponsive since it requires the joy to trigger two directions at one time? The original Q-bert was simply a four way joystick put in at a 45 degree angle so it only responded to one button trigger.

I suppose I could simply test it out myself but I'm too lazy right now.  :dunno

I've noticed a few people on here are using a custom map for QBert which looks something like this

Why would that make it unresponsive? I don't play it often, but I have never thought "man, this isn't responding very well".
