How do you play Q-bert?

I looked that up but it doesn't say specifically. Do you have to open your CP to change it?

Yes. Mame has automatic default maps for 8-way, 4-way, diagonal 4-way, and (sort of) 2 way games. If the u360 is in analog mode when mame starts, mame will use the correct map. You can also make your own maps if you don't like mame's default ones. More info can be found in docs/config.txt, under -joystick_map option.

That's outta sight. I didn't know that.

Do you have any pictures of that?

I have a flip-up panel on the front of my CP. I just reach in to twist the base/dial.
EDIT: Not anymore. U360s...

You might want to try it.... or not

I can't seem to get QBert to recognize my 360. When I try to set the up/down/left/right, it won't accept input from the 360 (which is in diag mode). :dunno

I finally got a chance to test the automapping. You are correct. The newer version (.122) did not recognize diagonals on 4-way games. Defender still recognized left and right (which is I think what you meant by "sort of") but the game was playable. Interestingly Qbert worked fine as well. Thanks again for the tip! :cheers:
