u360 mapping, how does this work?

Pretty close. You can view if mame uses its internal 4-way if you enable -verbose and look at the commandline output. (mameUI doesn't output to commandline, though.) But otherwise, yup, no other indication, as the map is internal to mame, and u360 stays in analog mode.
Martijn:
ill verbose it and check it out

ok I have U360 on my cab, - Do This ....
1. First check all is working .. goto Start > All Programs > UltraMap . This should open the ui
a) Load the 4way map. (Where it says Ultra stick #1 click on the drop down box and select " 4-way.")
b) now click on the square box to the right (one with the blue arrow in it) . if all is right you will have programed the joystick to be "4-way" -you can check by moving the stick, the cross hair in the box labled joystick should jump to one of "4-ways" !
Have a game of donkey kong or pacman and see the difference ...(now you know why you brought this stick ! )
2 GETTING IT TO RUN FROM YOUR FRONT END....
OK, example for Donkey Kong...
a) Load the 4-way Map as described above (remember to click on the box with the blue arrow) - Then click " File " (top left of screen) and save as, whatever name you want ...would be best to call it "4way " for this example. - AND Make sure the bottom drop down box says Ultrastick Game Configuration Files (*.ugc) .then save to your maps folder.
b) command line:
"C:\Progra~1\UltraMap\UltraMap.exe" "C:\Progra~1\UltraMap\Maps\4way.ugc"
This is assuming that you put ultramap.exe in c:\programfiles etc and you maps in given directory.
open the ui and load the analog map (remember to click small box with blue arrow) then close ultramap ui
goto start > Run and enter the command line above. re-open ultramap ui and it should have changed from analog to 4 way. (it doesn't show the change unless you close it and reopen it)
I don't know about maximus arcade as i use GameEx. the way i have done it is like this.
open your maps folder you should see the 4way .ugc ..(not the .um one !)
make a copy of the 4way.ugc file and rename it dkong.ugc
then the command from the frontend is:
"C:\Progra~1\UltraMap\UltraMap.exe" "C:\Progra~1\UltraMap\Maps\[ROM].ugc
so the front end looks for the ugc file of the game it is launching.
important: when you load a map using the ui dropdown box , this is the .um file. when you save this file as a map it is saved as a .ugc file , it is the ugc file that the front end needs to be pointed to.
Hope this helps and makes sense.
