Ultrastick 360 has a mind of its own ! need help
Donkey_Kong:
I was going to recommend the exact same things as ginsu, but maybe before shelling out the extra dough...just to see, maybe do quick easy testing. Be sure that you are playing these games with the stick programmed to 4-way mode and nothing else. If that doesn't do it...try the restrictor and springs, then lastly there is the slight possibility that your pcb is damaged as you stated earlier. If you get the spring and restrictor, you will not be disappointed, it makes the sticks feel really nice.
Yea guys, he needs to do a little map testing before going nuts. He stated in his second post that he is not 100% sure what mode the stick is in...
Ginsu Victim:
Another thing that seems easy to miss....make sure the magnet is attached straight. If it's not on right, it might cause issues (I'm not sure about this, but it sounds feasible)
headkaze:
This may or may not be of help but you could try opening mame.ini and playing with the following. I remember someone mentioning it helping them.
--- Code: ---joystick_map auto
joystick_deadzone 0.3
joystick_saturation 0.85
--- End code ---
Also AFAIK these joysticks should not be calabrated (correct me if I'm wrong), and the only way I know of to reset calibration is using the program Clear Calibration Utility
Another thing to try, is to load up UltraMap and set your joysticks to mouse emulation. If they are getting stuck you will probably see the mouse cursor move around on it's own.
AndyWarne:
Can you drop me an email about this. I suspect the most likely cause is, as HeadKaze mentioned, a calibration setting incorrect. In Windows, they should always be left as default, so you can go into Control Panel, Game Controllers and reset to default in there.
Then try testing the stick thoroughly in that screen.
If you have UltraMap set for a restrictor being fitted this could be another cause.
