Title: UltraStik 360, Mame32, & StarWars (How do I configure it all?)
Post by: oqqalz on October 03, 2007, 01:22:53 am

I have a cab with UltraStik 360's.  I set the UltraMap to analog.  How do I configure the Mame (command line and such) so that Star Wars will work, plus be able to use my trackball for other games?

Whenever I use -mouse -joystick togther MAME goes nuts and wants my crosshairs in the top left corner ... permanently.

Each game has its own configuration setup. Just go into that games configuration, change the controls so it uses the U360's instead of the mouse and you should be ready to go.

That's just the problem.  MAME is not recognizing my U360 as an analog joystick.  So I cannot set it for the AD Stick Analog X and AD Stick Analog Y.  I have tried passing in -trackball mouse -adstick analog and using an analog UltraMap on the U360, but still it is not working.

Well, I know it's not what you asked about, but I suggest you use MaLa instead of Mame32 and then use my cool UltraMapper MaLa plugin.  That way everything should just work!!

Any chance Windows is not recognizing your U360s or that both of them have the same ID?

Well, I use GameEx and have developed my own UltraMapper plug-in which I will be releasing soon.  The U360 is definitely mapped as analog when starwars is started but MAME32 is not recognizing it.  I know the joysticks are fine in Windows as they work in GameEx and both show under Control Panel -> Gamepads and with two different ID's. 

My problem is somehow with just MAME.

What happens if you don't enable the mouse when you enable the joystick? 

You almost got it, but to repeat ;) don't use -mouse or -joystick, but use -trackball_device mouse & -adstick_device joystick  ("analog" is not a valid option here, more info in mame(32)\docs\config.txt).

We can look at remapping (actually, unmapping the mouse) in mame, and/or game specific ini files if you want, but try the above first and let us know how it works.
