| U360: strange behavior |

I agree that would be better if it simply said: "Do not calibrate the U360 using the Windows Game Controller Control Panel. It could mess with the operation of the U360." But the leason I learned early on is that the instructions on both the Ultimarc site and the Groovy Game Gear site are really bad! |

The UltraStik 360 requires no calibration. Any calibration of gamepad joysticks in Windows, will affect the stick, so if you get any strange behaviour, check these are set to default settings. |

It's a little unclear if you don't already know what's going on. Let's break it down: "In Analog mode..." What's that mean? Is this a problem only when the joystick is in analog mode? If I just use it in 4 way or 8 way games can I calibrate it in the Windows control panel? "...also any calibration of gamepad joysticks in Windows..." Does that mean if I have a gamepad hooked up to my Mame cab along with the U360s that I can't use the control panel to calibrate the gamepad or else the U360 will be affected? "...will affect the stick..." How will the stick be affected? Will it make it more responsive? What it should say is: "The UltraStik 360 requires no calibration. You should not use the "dead zone" settings in MAME for your U360 or calibrate the U360 using the Windows Game Controller controll panel. Doing so may adversely affect the performance of the U360. You can continue to calibrate your non-U360 gamepads with the Windows control panel without issue." |

FWIW, resetting the windows calibration solved my problem. --- Quote from: blind_dado on October 24, 2008, 05:52:13 pm ---You should not use the "dead zone" settings in MAME for your U360 --- End quote --- Why do you think mame's dead zone settings shouldn't be used? I think you're wrong there. It has nothing to do with calibration of the joystick. It's only the region that MAME treats as centered. Obviously it can cause undesirable behavior if set improperly, but that doesn't mean you should set it to 0. |

I have no opinion about mame's dead zone settings. The language I quoted was directly from the Ultimarc site, so apparently Andy thinks you shouldn't use those settings. Ask him why! Glad you're problem is fixed. :) |
