Can all MAME games be set on freeplay+Ultrastick360 questions.

ok I just bought all the stuff you recommended. Now I'm a little confused. So say the green wire from the wiring harness that plugs into the U360, does that go straight to the 12-Position European-Style Terminal Strip from Radio Shack if so, then what goes to the button?
Is the terminal strip like an extension chord for wires?
thanks!

Cool. I'm posting here instead of PMs as I feel this information may be useful to people other than me too ...

That's certainly the case. :)
Others will benefit from this advice ... keep it coming !
It's all good stuff.
These sticks are awesome by all accounts. But it's a bit daunting parting with > 200 Greenbacks for a pair of them (including wiring harnesses, restrictors, springs, long shafts, and international shipping), when you've no knowledge of wiring, and unsure how you'll put it all together.
Of course, these sticks connect via USB, so that part's easy.
But the tricky part, for some folks, is properly wiring the buttons to the sticks.

Yep, it makes adding longer wires easier, plus you don't have to worry about pulling the original wires that are hooked into the U360 a bunch of different directions. It'll last longer.
So, U360 wiring harness ----> strip ----> buttons.

woo hoo! I think I have the idea now... the only thing I am missing now is the buttons... after that I make my attempt! I'll post here if I have any problems. Thanks for the assistance so far!

My first post here, although I've been lurking for quite some time! :)
This information is definitely helpful, as it's made me decide that I don't want to buy an iPac, so I'll just use the wiring harness with the U360. Just to clarify, though -- is there a ground coming from the $8 UltraStik Button / Encoder Harness sold on Ultimarc? I think I understand the use of the 12-Position European-Style Terminal Strip, but to make sure, it's just so that there aren't eight wires going directly from the U360 to the buttons, saving that wear and tear, and also to give you four ground wires (which would be coming from the four plugs on the strip) instead of just the one. If that is correct, then my only question is whether or not there is a ground wire in the harness. I'm pretty sure there is, but I want to confirm. Thanks!
