Ulrastick 360 drifting in MAME menu. What could be the problem?

LegendaryGamer:

Ok my joystick is complete and everything is setup from what I've learned from these forums. I have a Ulrastick 360 as my joystick and have it wired through a Ipac VE so I can have more pushbuttons than just 8. I have two types of maps I like using. 4 and 8 way. Sofar the joystick works in mame but I've notice the joystick seems to drift down-right or when I use it with the Frontend Hyperspin it keeps moving on it's own up or down with the touch of the stick. These are the only problems I face though not a big deal until I play some Shumps. I was playing Last Resort and I get the drifting down-right at times. What could this problem be from? If it's from Mame then how can I turn off Mame Maps which might be conflicting with the Ulrastick 360 Map? The Mame I'm using is the current version of MAMEUIFX32 and my other favorite is Mame Plus. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This confuses me. You're running the U360 into the Ipac? Explain your wiring setup.

I have my U360s hooked up through USB, then I'm running hidden admin buttons off the U360's built-in encoder, and all of my player 1 and 2 buttons are running through my Minipac.

How exactly are you doing yours?

I have the Ulrastick 360 setup in output mode so you can wire the Ulrastick 360 through the Ipac. So I have the color wires hooked up through the Ipac VE. Though I can just wire the pushbuttons through the Ulrastick 360 I wanted to use more than 8 buttons. My joystick setup look like this. Thanks for responding also.

You do realize you're losing some of the functions that make the U360 great by running it that way, right?

Anyway, to remove the mapping MAME places on it (which shouldn't be the case since you're not running it via USB):
in the mame.ini change:
-joystick_map auto
to:
-joystick_map 7778...4445

Also, make sure the magnet is sitting flat on the end of the stick. Sometimes when screwing the balltop on, the slot gets damaged and it makes the magnet sit askew.

If none of this clears it up, you can increase the deadzone in the map you're using.

How I'm I losing some of the functions? The joystick can still be pre-programmed with the maps which is the main function I thought? The Ipac is made by the same maker so the software works with both items. If your talking about the digital yeah I am. Can you use both at the same time? Meaning the Ipac for extra buttons and keep the U360s in digital mode?
