Nulldc and Ultrastik 360

[stephen]

I am using the GameEx Ultrastik plugin. It works great for Mame, but does GameEx + Ultrastik plugin know anything about Nulldc? Does it attempt to configure Nulldc? It doesn't appear so. No biggie, IF I can configure Nulldc to use my Ultrastik (in analog mode). Unfortunately, I don't see how to do that. Apparently, Nulldc knows about XBox 360 controller and Dreamcast controller. And I've seen references to a program called Xpadder; but I don't know if that solves the problem. I am certain many people have this working - Ultrastik is a pretty popular joystick.

Thanks.

I finally found a topic on another forum about this. Apparently, Nulldc version 1.0.4 (or 1.0.3 for that matter) does not have analog joystick support. Xpadder or Joytokey will allow me to use an analog stick, like the Ultrastik 360, but it does so by mapping the analog stick to a set of keys. This defeats the purpose of having an analog stick. So it looks like I am out of luck - for now.

I really love my analog joystick in the Nintendo 64 emulator. I was hoping for the same result in the Dreamcast emulator; but apparently, it is not to be.

What about the PuruPuru input plugin (it's included with nullDC)?

When I specified the PuruPuru input plugin, it showed my Ultrastik in the drop down list, but the drop down was grayed out. When I tried to configure it, it didn't acknowledge my joystick input.

Are your joysticks in mouse or joystick mode at this stage?
