Thanks for replying,you were correct the filenames were wrong.With the help of Andy from Ultimarc i solved the issues i was having with the UltraMap software.
 So Ive altered my paths in the U360 Plugin.And now when i select a game there is no error,but AM freezes.
 If i check the U360 stick,it has changed to the correct map.But AM has to be force closed.
 Anymore ideas i can try? I know LEDBlinky could solve it,but I feel Im close using the U360 Plugin now.

I'm experiencing the same issue of AM freezing when I have the UltraStik360 plugin enabled.

It was working well on AM 1.6.0, but I have just upgraded to AM 2.6.1 and cannot get it working. Running on Windows 10 21H2. I'd go back to 1.6.0, but I upgraded so I could get the borderless window mode for AM.

I'm sure the config is right, and that the UltraMap executable is getting called - but it appears AM is still waiting for the UltraMap command to finish.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Sorry I cant be of any help,but I ended up using LEDBlinky and It works perfectly.

I have found a workaround for now, by replacing fe.plugin_command with fe.plugin_command_bg in UltraStik360.nut

It's not ideal, as when you return to AM the UltraStik is still being reprogrammed in the background, which seems to cause a couple of phantom joystick movements.

Meaning that you don't end up with the same list entry being selected within AM.


   switch ( ttype )
   {
   case Transition.ToGame:
      fe.plugin_command_bg( config["command"],
         "\"" + maps_dir
         + fe.game_info( maps_info )
         + config["maps_ext"] + "\"" );
      break;

   case Transition.FromGame:
      fe.plugin_command_bg( config["command"],
         "\"" + maps_dir
         + config["default_map"]
         + config["maps_ext"] + "\"" );
      break;
   }

OMG, thank you!!!  I have been pulling my hair out with why this plugin wouldn't work.  I could program the sticks fine from a command prompt, but not Attract Mode.

I updated the .nut per the "_bg" suggestion below and it works!  The phantom joystick movement is annoying, but at least this works now.

Thank you!!
