I also found that mame did not map correctly for Qbert ...

Really?  That would be a bug; I'll test this this weekend.  Mame has basically the same "4-way diagonal" analog2digital map that the ultramap utility does.  And AFAIK should automatically pick it for these two games.  If it doesn't work like it should, I'll see what I can do.

Err, was anything wrong with the 4-way diag map that came with the utility, also?

Ginsu Victim:
I use FastMAME .84 and the Qbert map with UltraMAP doesn't work for it. Wrong directions. I had to make my own.

Since I use .84, I've never been able to test MAME's function for auto-mapping. I just know that in older versions, Qbert and Congo Bongo were only "4-way" and need custom maps loaded.

Also, a reminder, I'm using a private beta of Mamewah that loads maps according to the game's control listing. Standard Mamewah doesn't have this feature (it required a map per game).

massive88:
As far as qbert is concerned, can the mame mapping be used digital to digital as well?  To get the diagonals working correctly?  Or will it only remap an analog joy?

Ive been trying to get qbert to play right to no avail so far...

Okay, quick skim of code (0.125u4), and yup, it looks like the rotated flag is not set anymore.  Any other games besides qbert (& clones), qbert cubes, and congo bongo that I should look at?

No and yes. ;)

The -joystick_map is only for analog to digital convertion.  However,

Mame's standard remap can be used for what you want.  Map the joy's diagonals to the game's cardinal directions, as follows IIRC:
p1 up: joy up & right
p1 right: joy right & down
p1 down: joy down & left
p1 left: joy left & up
