Re: How about MAME games and a XBOX 360 controller?

> I noticed The d-pad does not work in MAME (at least not out of the box)
You're not missing out, the 360 controller's d-pad is absolutely fits-of-rage inducing and annoying.
Primary joystick in MAME is whatever registers as the primary joystick in Windows. This means the left analog stick on most (probably all) gamepads. The d-pad is normally either seen as a "point-of-view hat" or simply four buttons.
I have a Playstation to USB adapter that reads when the "analog" button is pressed on the Dualshock controller. This toggles between d-pad and left analog stick being the "primary joystick", just like when using it with a Playstation. I thought that was clever, none of my other adapters can do this and this one is the only one I have that works in Windows 7, without loading a driver even.
