| U360: strange behavior |
| (1/5) > >> |
| Ummon:
I thought I'd start a thread separate from mrclean. I'm having this problem with my U360 that's hooked up. (I have two, but only one is in the panel right now.) I've experienced this before using a gamepad: when the analog sticks are active, and they are too sensitive or won't center or something, there's this perpetual downward scrolling in games lists, and ships fly down all the time. Now, this is mainly happening in Advancemame. (It also seems to make it run slow.) It constantly scrolls down the TAB list, and is giving really weird behavior in Mspac. Background: I'm running Advancemame via MaLa, and have the Ultrastik plug-in. So in Mspac, I assumed the 4-way map was being applied. The other night it was fine, but tonight at game start mspac wouldn't go down....or up. Then she would.....then during a run from ghosts, I'd go left or right and she'd go down. At the same time, it seemed like the controls were being fought. I uninstalled the plug-in and delete the files. Same behavior. I look in Ultramap, and things seem fine, the stick seems to be 'centered', though the sight is a little lower-left of center. I changed to the 4-way no sticky map and same behavior. Seems fine in Mame32 GUI. Also, in-game there's no constant downward flying motion - but it sometimes seems like it's fighting me. For example in 1943, just now, this seemed the case. I unplugged, re-plugged, re-scanned the stick and no change in behavior. |

I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but my u360 caused MaLa to scroll down (and in game also). For me it turned out to be some slop with the centering. I ended up altering the maps so that there was a larger dead zone in the center. |

I'm not sure if this will fix it... but there's a "calibrate" button under "games controllers" in the control panel. The calibrate routine has you move the stick to all positions (i.e. just move it around in a circle a few times)... then it adjusts for centering. |

I've been discussing bad calibration with Andy, and you do NOT want to use the windows calibration tool. The joysticks self-calibrate at startup as long as the sticks are untouched (centered). Mine don't show very good calibration. The message I got from Andy today said to go back to the windows calibration tool and click "reset" to remove any windows calibration. I'm hoping that's all it takes for me. I should know later today so I'll try to remember to report back here if it does work. |

there is also this handy utility that will delete all joystick calibration data in Windows. http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/gadgets.htm#Clear%20Calibration%20Utility: You definetly do not want to calibrate U360s in Windows. |
