U360 Auto mapping Not Working??
lettuce:
Hmm still cant get this to work correctly have the stick set to analog in the ultramap program. But when play space harrier, if i try and move the character gently to the left nothing will happen if i more it slightly further then he'll start jumping from the centre of the screen to half way between the centre and edge of the screen, then if i move the stick a bit more he'll go far left of the screen. So i dont know if its the stick thats buggered and is in analog mode, or for some reasons its not switching modes
NOP:
Leave ultramap up in the background while you're running mala.
When browsing through your list, alt-tab over to ultramap and move the stick around. It should be in 4-way mode, and you can tell if you can't get the little cursor to go into the diagonals.
Then alt-tab back to mala and launch a game (any game, but space harrier will do) then with the game running pop back over to ultra-map and see what it's configured to then. If it's not what it should be (you could look at the xml for that game) then either the plugin isn't working, or something has told it the wrong config map to load. Try a few other games to check to see if any of them are getting programmed properly and report back here.

What front ends can you use the U360's mappings? Do they all need plugins?

As urebel has mentioned above, recent versions of Mame have built-in mappings compatible with all analogue joysticks, including the U360. These mappings are part of Mame itself, and can be used without any front-end.
In terms of front-ends with their own U360 mapping plugins (which are entirely separate from the Mame mappings), there's MaLa (Fatfinger's plugin), and GameEx (Oggalz's plugin).

Make sure you're also using the latest map program from ultimarc-there was a bug in the previous version that didn't program anything other than the first stick. I never noticed it on my cocktail machine until I started to SUCK when playing qbert as player 2! :o
