Getting U360 to work with Mame?
LeedsFan:
OK I've got a bit further forward now... but still a problem. I managed to create a new Mame.ini file. This is different to what I had before so it can't have been a proper .ini file. This new file has all the controller options. I changed the Joystick from 0 to 1 and that has enable the U360 in Mame... sorta. :P
I can't move UP at all. I can move left right and down in Pacman.... but not up. I even tried my Sony Playstation gamepad and that is exactly the same. But when I check both devices in Windows they operate perfectly. :dunno
fatfingers:
This last issue seems like it must be a mame mapping issue? Try modifying the input controls in mame again now that the stick is registering and make sure everything is set up correctly for the up action.
LeedsFan:
Finally found the problem! I was tearing my hair out because even when creating a new mame.ini file certain control options in the Mame TAB menu were not being changed. I could see that UP for example was just set to "Up Arrow" on the keyboard while the other movements were set to arrow "or" Joystick axis. I had to delete the default.cfg file and then make a new mame.ini to recreate everything from scratch.
That default.cfg file is what really threw me a curved one. That's taken me bloody hours to sort out. :dizzy:

Did you try a more recent version of MAME, just to see if it works with that? If it doesn't then the problem is not with MAME. If it does, then it's a config file somewhere.
Install the newer version of MAME in a new directory and copy over the pacman rom to the rom folder (don't point the new version of Mame to the old rom directory, as it may overwrite file settings.)
Also, did you try running the command line version of Mame? (without the Front end) and see if the joystick works. i.e. MAME PUCKMAN
