I map 4 buttons to the four directions I have a standard street fighter 2 layout
OOO

so I map 2 buttons on each row like so

and VIOLA! I can play
just sucks a little with buttons...
Hope this helps a little...

that's what i do too. granted im not a huge Qbert fan, but this works great for me.

There is no need for a u360 to play Qbert. Just map your 8way like Xevious suggested. The only thing that would work better is a restricted 4 way rotated 45 degrees.

UP = Joystick configured to Right/Up
DOWN = Joystick configured to Down/Left
LEFT = Joystick configured to Left/Up
Right = Joystick configured to Down/Right
Assuming your joystick microswitches are in the same position as mine this should work.

I found that my LS-30's don't hit diagonals well enough to play Q*Bert that well/cleanly. I may give the 4 button setup a try just to see if it works better. Thanks for the suggestion!

I essentially did the same thing as what Meany and Xevious suggested. It worked like a charm and I was able to score over 800,000 using a Mag Stik Plus.
The only difference is that I used my P2 joystick (joystick on the right) so that when I play right-handed, I was more centered with the screen. I do the same for games like Ms Pacman and Frogger.
