Absolutely love your channel and I want that t-shirt! I’m currently building a custom MAME cabinet thanks you your helpful videos

The harness I received with my board is missing 2 wires for the player 1 joystick and 2 wires for player 2 start and coin. Wonder if they sent a wrong harness with my Ultimate I/O?

this pops out and i didn't search for it. Turns out extremely useful.Thanks!!

I hear what you're saying. Even if one person is very experienced and the other is a beginner, at least if they have shared interest they can build comradery. But when someone has no interest in the process and only wants the result, they're missing the point (which is fine, the choice to miss the point is theirs, but then they shouldn't expect the same level of connection with a community who does understand, or at least shares an interest in, the process).

I am having an issue where MAME is switching my Joystick 1 and 2 randomly. Is there a simpler fix? I am a noob and these instructions seem complicated.

Hello, thanks for the video. I am having an issue with Nintendo_Wii_U and that is no games in that emulator light the controls (I'm using Cemu as the emulator). I have set the default controls but no lights work. I have tried adding a specific game (for example mario kart 8) but this game is not in controls editors unknown game list. This tells me that LED Blinky doesn't even see me launching the game. I have tried deleting the emulator and recreating it using a game that does show up in the list but the controls still don't work even for that specific title. I don't know where to go from here, no web searches lead to anything that relates to this issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

At 9:17 I found the answer to my own question. Thank you for providing a very clear, concise guide on setting up my Ultimate I/O.😌

Awesome Chuck. I am so glad you went in depth on the trackball setup as well as the RGB add on. I am a bit lost as I only see one area on the whole board that's labeled GND. I already bought the Ultimate I/O from Andy.😀

What happens if I accidentally plugged the signal cable with the red facing the wrong way the first time? Do I need a new one bcus my sceen is just black or blue now

I had my spinner working but want to change multimouse to 1 in the mame default config file so that I can also use light guns. I changed the config file to reflect "multimouse 1" but you are very brief on what to adjust in mame at 7:30. I am assuming I am supposed to set this in player 1 controls under "Paddle Analog"? No matter what keybind i press it does not map it to the spinner. Almost like its not working but it works in windows.

Thank you so much!

I was a gamer from the 70’s I was a kid of the Pong and Atari era and I lost my two parents in the last few years it’s the saddest thing ever. I’m so sorry Maverick to hear your sad news but your on the right path like you said my friend, and I hope you get well and better, life is so short for arguing and fighting isn’t it , we are one. Take good care 👍🏻

I turned 40 this year and the worst part about getting older isn't the extra lines or pounds accumulating on your body or the aches and pains your body develops, but losing people who were once close to you, whether they be old friends who drifted away or close family that's passed away. In a short time I've had a number of people I know pass on, some of them (such as my grandfather) were old and it was to be expected and a few of them who should have had much longer. My father recently had a heart attack and I've watched him diminish from a man who I always thought of as a pillar of strength. I can relate to your situation as I'm sure many can, seeing the one photo at the end of you and your father just having a smoke together was kind one of those 'a picture can tell a thousand words' moments, I can tell you guys weren't just father and son but good friends. My relationship with my father has been strained at times but that photo made me think of how my father has always tried to be my friend. I'll wrap this up by saying, I can relate and I've suffered greatly from depression but what I keep trying to remind myself is that there are still plenty of things to look forward to, if only we can find the strength to stay positive and as they said in Monty Python's Life of Brian "Look on the bright side of life".

Thank you, I was finally able to clean out my headphones fully after I watched your guide. I was really nervous when I was popping out the part that keeps the top foam piece connected since you advised to be careful, but I think I managed to do it without breaking it thankfully.

i know this is an old video but can this simulate a mouse click with trackball?

If I get the U360 and put the rotary kit on it, which requires either the 4/8 way or octagonal restrictor to be installed, which plate would you recommend putting on? Can the 4/8 way plate be moved by hand from under the panel or would it be easier to just use the octagonal and use the software to make it read as 4 or 8 way? My plan at the moment is to have the main joystick for both players be the flight stick with no plate just using software restriction and have an additional stick with the rotary just for player 1 since playing with others will probably be rare enough that it won't matter if both players have it.

Cannot get the controller to map properly, it wont allow you to skip past keys, and you have to manually shut it down. pile of crap recalbox setup

Hi. Any chance you'll make an updated video on this? Thanks!

well constructed guide that helped me clean my pair. Thanks!

Hi Maverick, congrats. This is a big problem for me. I would fix it as soon as. I follow your instructions but when i launch mame with "TAB" from keyboard for to setting Light Gun Aimtrack, Analog X and Y works. Trigger it's ok. But i would configure B1=Select and B2=Start and when i click appear Joy 1 and not GUN1. Why ??? Maybe for first setting from app Aimtrack.exe where i use this : On screen TRIG Mouse Left LEFT GP Button 1 RIGHT GP Button 2 Off screen TRIG Mouse Right LEFT GP Button 1 RIGHT GP Button 2 I'm not sure what is the best way. Later mame i would configure my 2 Aimtrack with all others system, RetroArch, Sega Model, Naomi, Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox etc.... Please help me!

JUst wondering if you might also experience this with the servo stick , to me its not a true 4 way and 8 way. When I play games like pacman or robotron there is a dead space in the corners . do you get this as well, I just installed the stick wrong. let me know if you wouldnt mind thanks

Big switch! You just increased your editing workload by 400% sir! This should be interesting. But I can't wait to see what happens!

Recently added Logitech G923 wheel and pedals to my configuration. Got that up and running but after doing so now my original joysticks are acting strange. When I try to test them the tests will not work. Instead of the joystick causing the proper axis result it instead just moves the tab function around the window. When I try to re-map controls in a mame game instead of showing up as joy1 the directions will only show up as keyboard up down left or right. Will your video Help with this situation so I can get my joystick back up and running as it was? Sorry if my q is all over the map 😑

“Dad” “Go upstairs” 😂😢

Where do i plug the molex cables if there are extra wires on my power supply.

mame 32 my joystick randomly pressing button automatically.but after use another pc joystick is ok use windows 10.plz help how to fix this issue.i install new windows 10 but problem is sam.

I followed this but i only get leds that are set in the Default_Inactive... I've tried change them to 0 but the other controls wont come through.

Quiting the smoking is tough. I'm praying for wisdom and focus for you. I have the same problem. Long streaks of being sober, and only to get hooked back.

Hello, thank you that’s a useful video. I have a question, is it possible to setup the sensibility of the spinner? Meaning moving few is going fast or going slowly for exemple. Thanks a lot.

Managed to install and reasonably calibrate my guns. I setup the cfg file using your exact code options, setting my AimTrak guns as device ID 7 & 8, but get an error that will not allow MAME to start when directing it to that custom .cfg file in Corr Input Options. The sticks and other items all run fine on GPWiz and OptiWiz encoders. Any thoughts?

You scared me. lol. Glad you have a new 4k camera. Merry Christmas. Now go get busy recording

Damn that notification title had me sad for a moment... glad to see you upgrading the setup!!

At some point I want to build a controller but the more I learn about the hardware the more confused I get. I want to use the U360FS so I have the option of analog or using the software to make it act as 4 way 8 way or whatever. I'm going more for function than practicality so the things I want to do might not make sense but I like to go over the top with my projects at first then scale back on future iterations. So if I understand input and output modes correctly, does that mean I could theoretically use an ultimate board for the actual player buttons and use the pins on one of the joysticks to plug in Pinball buttons? Also I just realized from your other U360 video that there's a rotary motor upgrade for it but I can't seem to find if it would work for the flight stick version or if I should get a flight stick for one player and a regular one for the other player and put the rotary on that one. I'm also planning on doing 2 spinners because I don't ask why I ask why not but that also confuses me because I'm not sure if I should do one on the ultimate and one usb or both usb. My original plan was a 4 player panel but I decided to be practical in that one area and just do 2 player since I don't even have 3 friends to play with. Not only that, the panel will be standalone and not part of a cabinet or pedestal and not permanently attached to the computer so I'm not sure how I'd power it all if the ultimate only comes with a molex adapter. Sorry for rambling and asking so many questions but I'm not at all familiar with any of this and just want to build something cool. I didn't grow up in an arcade so I'm not even familiar with any of the games but want to make up for lost time.

Looking forward to some nice crisp 4k content!

Had us worried there buddy. You have helped so many people including myself… keep those videos coming!!!

Chuck, I was like what the heck!! 😅😅 I’m glad you’ll still be around. Don’t scare me like that! 😂Finally got my drives from Hyper Arcade Systems. Hopefully I’ll have mine up and running when I go home for Christmas. I’ll keep you posted.

Tought you are leaving. You helped me a lot on that video to fix the Mouse and spinner IDs

Not click bait. 😂😂🎉🎉

Yo!! don’t freak me out with that headline sir.

So sorry to hear all of this, take care man and I hope you are feeling better. Take care

Great info on the board. Is there anyway to power the marquee lights?

Super informative, thank you for walking through the process with animations!

If you have Ultimarc U360 sticks there is an very very important configuration In Controls Editor under "Common" Primary Controls option for Non MAME games. If yu dont change the primary control std configuration from 8way joystick to analog mode it wont let yu play non MAME games with analog map on U360. I was strugling on Sega Model 3 not running the U360 analog map for Star Wars, Lost World, etc and took me days to figure out the issue was on Controls Editor.

Whoa, sorry to hear all that's been going on. The lockdowns absolutely sucked for so many people. I'm glad you're back and I hope you keep getting better! Looking forward to more videos soon!

Welsome to middle age. You’re not alone, we all feel that way (and gain what we think is too much weight, and our kids get older and want to drag us into the mud, and on, and on). I;m 59 and feel like I’ve survived a war only to be thrown back into it by all that COVID changed in our lives. However, you have always been an inspiration, so rock on dude, no matter how you feel, or what life throws at you, it will pass, because you are truly awesome inside and that will eventually shine through.

Welocme back! This is a great topic. Very few people realize the potential damage that can be done by using an admin account for day to day operations.

Happy Birthday and Welcome Back! The tips you presented were good and more people should follow them. I work in security, and can confirm that people constantly reuse the same password with minor changes. My recommendation is to use a longer passphrase and not change passwords as often. Something like, "Th15IsTh3B3stP@ssw0rdEv3r!". It is fairly easy to remember, long, and uses Uppercase, Lowercase, Numbers and Special characters. Using a phrase that consists of more than three words make brute force attempts a lot more difficult. Keep up the great work.
