Are you just talking about not accepting in game, or while remapping in-game mame too?
If the later, did you enable joysticks in mame? ("joystick 1" in mame.ini)
If just in game, try remapping in mame (tab, "Input (this game)", go to left, press enter, move stick up left, wait, repeat of other directions).

Yup. It's just the 8-way map, but signal-wise the 8-way map is just two 2-way maps superimposed on each other.

Well, I finally got back to messing with the QBert config. I do have the analog joystick enabled in mame. When the u360 is mapped as a 4-way diagonal - then the mame in-game config won't accept the diagonal mapping - I can't remap the up/down/left/right. When the u360 is mapped as an analog stick, then the mame in-game config allows me to map up/down/left/right, but these are not diagonals and the game does not play correctly - move the stick up and the game moves left/up, move left and the game moves down/left, etc. I'm running mame 121. I'm stumpted!

I just finished a CP with standard Fighter layout plus 3" trackball plus dedicated Qbert joystick. I used a Happ universal in 4-way mode and rotated 45 degrees. Plays wonderfully.

The standard 4-way diagonal map that UltraStik comes with isn't any good for Q*Bert. You need to make a special map that translates diagonals into non-diagonals. Looks like this. . .
I tried this map and it worked like a charm for me.

That map actually didn't work for me. For some I had to move all the arrows counter-clockwise.
