8 to 4 way Top Adjustable Sticks?

If you use a more current version of MAME, it can map for you.

Some frontends use a plugin to change it. I use MAMEWAH, which calls on the Ultramap software to switch maps. It's seemless.

I'm using Maximus arcade and have a number of different emulators, so swapping out maps on the fly would be important for me. From what I can tell there is no direct support, but I can execute command's before launching mame, or other emulators.

I did read in another thread about a guy adding microswitches for the feel of it. I might try that mod so I could use those switches for everything except Mame, which would save on setup.

TheShanMan:
It looks to me like the u360 has digital outputs to emulate a switch based joystick, so I think that microswitch hack would only be good for getting the clicking feel.

I love my U360's!

I actually have 4 of them on my CP, as I have a 2 player CP, with each player given 2 360's for those games that need it, ala Robotron.

As others have mentioned, with the newest MAME's, MAME will set the mode for you.

Well, technically, you set it up as an Analog stick, and MAME does the mapping per game.

So, for example, if you are playing a 4 way game, MAME will map all the positions that the Analog stick can do, to a 4-way mode.
ie, it basically does the same thing as Ultimarc's utilities to "set" the mode.

But Ultimarc's util is still useful for other non-MAME emu's.

On my U360's, I got the red balltops, along with the restrictor + spring package.  I used up using the circle restrictor, and the "tougher" spring.

It was worth every penny!

GGG makes the retro edition of the omni joy. Which looks much better  :)
