LOL -I haven't used that one in a while!
Also, try adjusting the analog sensitivity in Mame to see if you can compensate.
H4CK3R:
I have 2 extra pots, wired them both up, took out all other inputs to the A-pac, and just testing the Y axis. Doesnt matter what pot I use, I can not get it to " Center" at 0, and have full motion up and down before it hits the limitor.
I thought that when you re calibrate the A-pac ( listed at a Untramarc game controller) in Win 7, that it would take the readings, and auto center in and give the calibration at a dead center 0.
It does not.
If I adjust the clogs in the oppiste direction, IE -18xx , it still centers the Y axis at 2160 ish, with 2175 being the high end. I have revered the wires, while keeping the gnd to gnd. and still same results.
There is alot of free play going the opposite direstion, I can center the Y axis at 2166, and hit a low at 2100, but still have a high of 2176.
So in a nut shell.....
it seems that at -1800 to 2100 its a fast moving Pot, then once it hits 2160 ish It starts to crawl.
Idealy, like the X axis it would center somewhere around 0, and then hit a - 1800 and a high of +1800.
I have already hooked the A-pac Y axis to the X Pot, and its getting the same results as if I just hooked it to the other pots. And that leaves me to believe that this is a software issue?
I have searched Ultramarcs website and I don't see any software for the A-pac, it works as a plug and play.

EDit. Going to see if switching it to the player 2 side makes a difference.
H4CK3R:
OK after further testing this si what I came up with.....
BAD A-Pac.....
I tried player two side if the Y axis with two differnt Pots, Both would only read a + reading...
I then switched the the Y axis Pot to the X axis slot on the A-pac... Works perfect. Dead center at 0, -1800, +1800 ish.
Leaves me to believe either its a bad A-pac or Driver... Deleted the driver and pluged USB into a differnt USB port on PC... loads up, and same results.
= Bad A-pac.
Will get hold of ultramarc and see if they can fix, or buy a new.... My entire weeked gone... But on the bright side, at least I believe I have found the problem.
PS. its only the y- axis doing this... Could i use the Player 1 up and down axis with player 2 up and down axis and have mame see it as both controls? Just an idea...
Havok:
Sure - you have 4 possible axis' with the A-Pac. Connect the two that work properly, and map them in Mame.
Chunce DeLeone:
anyone know what angle the original yoke is mounted at?
