So when you do try to use it in MAME with the keys mapped properly, holding the stick left just moves left once and not again? If that's the case, then either iCade needs to change their firmware or they need to provide a specific HID driver that makes it look more like a normal keyboard to applications. From what you're saying, there doesn't seem to be a way for MAME (or any other application) to determine if the stick or buttons are being held.

Is using iCade with a PC actually supported by the manufacturer? I thought it was intended for use with the iPad only, and this may be why, unfortunately.
