U360 had its Thunder Stolen.

If anything I would say the MAME -joystick_map option makes the U360 an even more attractive offering. No need to worry about MAME front end mapping plug-ins and such. Perhaps this will even encourage the production of other analog arcade type sticks.

This is the biggie. That and it is even very difficult to get an interface-able *arcade* analog joystick which is anywhere need as good for all round gaming.

And what about other emu?

Maybe if you have only the one emulator in your cab there might be an argument, but I cant see ever owning any others for your main stick.

More accurately put, the UltraMap software has lost its thunder...

For those using MAME as their sole emulator ...

MAME .118 onwards offers the joystick_map option ...

It's not that unusual to be content in using MAME as your sole emulator.


Although, an analogue PC USB joystick could also be used for these games :

** PC games (of course);

** Console emulators, where the console utilised analogue sticks on the controllers (such as Nintendo 64).
