BigBox/LaunchBox + Ultrastik360 Issue

[Peiler]

Hi everyone, 

I am facing an issue when I exit my games in my BigBox Installation. When I open BigBox everything works fine, I open a game using MAME and when I exit the game the controller is stuck in one direction.

Current build is using Howler controllers, 2x Ultrastick 360 Joysticks and also LedBlinky.

Not sure if this is happening to anyone else but I am not sure how I can troubleshoot this anymore and maybe some of you faced this before.

 

Thank you!

I have spent more countless hours than I care to admit with diagnosing issues with my Ultrastiks and BigBox. I was almost ready to rip them out of my arcade. For some reason Ultrastiks and BigBox are very finicky with each other and LEDBlinky plays a part in this to if you are using ledblinky to send the ultrastik maps to MAME. I have experienced that same issue you described along with others. I think the one thing that doesn't get along with Bigbox is the changing of maps when entering and (especially) exiting of games. I found that they do not like enable all controllers enabled in the BigBox options menu. Another thing I found is the BigBox startup and exit themes really help as well. They give a little pause so the ultrastik can change its map when entering a game and most importantly the exit screen gives a little pause when exiting from a game back into BigBox, so make sure you have startup themes and exit screens enabled.
