I've tried using LEDBlinky's simple LED test while LB is off and get the same results. I will try to replace the config file and report back soon. Thanks for everyone's help so far.

Yes I'm sure. I replaced it with a new unit just in case, same result.

I appreciate the explanation, however this is not entirely true in my case. The lighting kit for my trackball does not have a dedicated white LED. I even purchased a 2nd identical one and once installed, it produced the same results. I also installed 2 RGB illuminated joystick handles, and they produce a color closer to white than all my other RGB's. I've attached 2 photos showing how white the trackball used to be, and what it currently is. I've reached out to Andy at Ultimarc, however he didn't really have an explanation other than it could be software related.

I purchased most of my buttons and joysticks from Ultimarc.com

I have recently lost my bright white lighting on my trackball, and it now has that same teal color that my buttons have had since the beginning. Strange since it was white until now. Still wonder if it's a setting somewhere that I'm missing or got changed.

Thanks for the reply. I had no idea that less than 10gb would cause some limitations. My upgraded RAM is on its way.

Why would my "CoverFlow Image Quality" only go to medium? I do not have an option for high or highest

I've heard other people have had success with Rocketlauncher, but don't think I want to add it to my build. I'll keep at it until it becomes too frustrating, or I finally get a breakthrough.

I wish I could figure out what the problem is - it doesn't seem to be a common issue I guess.

Unfortunately no, that's still a work in progress. LED Blinky announces the controls and lights the corresponding buttons, but the maps don't seem to change. Have you had any success with the mapping?

I did have use all controllers enabled. Unchecked it per your suggestion, and so far it seems as that was my problem. Thank you so much kmoney! This had been driving me crazy!

Thanks Drybonz. I have really been scouring google but haven't found anything unfortunately.

I reached out to Andy at Ultimarc about the issue of the jump to letter menu frequently opening up on its own. His response is that the Ultrastik doesn't have a deadzone, that it is handled by Mame. Has anyone else had this issue or found a workaround? It really takes away from the Bigbox experience.

I never got the problem solved, I still have the teal color for white. I reached out to Andy at Ultimarc but never got a response. I guess mine would be considered translucent also, not transparent, but I do get a true white out of it.

Everything was working well with my Sanwa joysticks on my build. 4-way games were a little frustrating however, so I decided to add an Ultrastik 360 to my build. It is connected via USB and all my other buttons/joystick are connected via a IPAC ultimate. I'm using LEDBlinky, which seems to be working as far as lighting the right controls. I cannot get it to load any maps as far as 8 way/4 way, etc. I'm also getting the "jump to letter" menu in BigBox without even touching anything. I've tried changing the joystick dead zone in Mame.ini but it doesn't seem to have any affect on that menu coming up during the attract mode in Big Box. I have loaded maps for the U360 in Ultramap and opened Mame directly and it works correctly, but once in Launchbox/Big Box the joystick doesn't load the correct map. Any help would be appreciated - I'd really like to get this joystick to work, especially for 4-way games. Thank you.
