I don't wanna lose all the work I put into that menu screen.... it took me bloody ages.  :P

dude.. im in that same sinking boat right now  :laugh2:

I can't even figure out how to get the video previews to show up in gamecreatures inner circle on his BLUE layout.. and I need to obtain it in a 1280x1024 resolution currently the videos are squares.. yuck!

Now my test patterns in umapper.exe are all messed up.. If I set the map to a 4-way mode then I go to preview the 8 way.. it will only go in 4 directions.. I can only map the joystick to one map as of now.. rather annoying I don't know what the deal is

There is a plugin for GameEx to auto switch the Ultimarc joysticks. That's all that is necessary to support the U360's in a FE. Not sure how you can say MaLa is the best FE for these sticks based on that fact.

I could understand someone saying "I think MaLa is the best FE", but saying it's the best FE for Ultrastiks IMHO is a little misinformed. Perhaps he was comparing it to MameWah, which I don't think has a plugin or native support for U360's, but I'm sure there would be a command line tool that can switch the sticks based on parameters sent to it anyway.

I guess my point is don't choose a FE based on the joysticks you have :) That being said I have great respect for the MaLa software and crew and with guys like Loadman on the team you can rely on getting great support and advice  :cheers:
