CPWizard and Ultimarc U360s

[Wombat]

This isn't an error per se but rather I'm wondering how other people who use Headkaze's CPWizard and also use his Ultimarc U360 plugin to navigate CPWizard.

The "problem" is that if you're playing a game that doesn't have vertical joystick directions (i.e. something like my favourite, Galaga) then the U360 plugin sets joystick maps to ensure a 2-way (horizontal) joystick map is in play (the joystick is set back to 4-way when you exit back to GameEx).

When in the game and you decide to pause it (which brings up CPWizard) then you can't navigate up/down the CPWizard menu (with joystick up/down) that appears.

Of course, I could just not have it display the extra menu items (just the control display) or I could remap buttons for navigation (although that's counter-intuitive) or I could reach over and connect my keyboard to navigate but I'm wondering how other people with this particular setup have decided to setup the two to work together.

Ahhh I never thought of this! lol

I haven't got my U360's installed just yet so haven't come across this problem, but it would definately be one I can see!

I can't think of a solution off the top of my head but I'll look into it. Perhaps I need to detect if Mame is paused from my UltraStik plugin and switch the UltraStik to 4-way, then back to the game's config when it's unpaused. There is probably a simple way to do it.

Perhaps I should add U360 support for CPWizard as well, so it can be in control of the programming. That way I could deal with this problem directly.
