      I've had the weekend from hell trying to get the sticks working correctly on the Pi4. I think I am there now. Ultrastikcmd is now uploading maps to the stick. For anyone out there in the same boat this is how I did it:

      Using ruckage's (many thanks!) guide here as a base:
      https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/ultrastik-360-ultrastikcmd-utility-step-by-step/

      All works well until you reach the third piece of software to build (libhid). I understand the software has been deprecated for some time so an update is unlikely.

      So after I got the error from typing 'make install' for libhid, I installed the files manually instead. For convenience, I have them uploaded them to a zip HERE

      I used ftp to upload them to the pi home directory then moved them across to their folder locations using ssh:

      sudo mv /home/pi/libhid.so.0.0.0 /usr/local/lib/
      sudo mv /home/pi/hid.h /usr/local/include/
      

      then I created a symbolic link for libhid:

      cd /usr/local/lib/
      sudo ln -s libhid.so.0.0.0 libhid.so
      

      After that I continued with ruckage's guide and all installed as it should yay!
      I'm not a linux expert by any means so no idea if any of the stages are unnecessary, but it works and you can now build ultrastikcmd on it.
      I can now change between analog and 4/8 way again along with the benefit of Pi4 power.

      Hope it helps someone out.

        The workaround worked for me for Installing the software! Thanks for that!

        My question is how do you get it to run automatically for each game?

          Hello Thatsnotmyname, apologies for slow reply.
          I'm hoping you are sorted by now, but if not I have used a program called RGBCommander:

          http://users.telenet.be/rgbcommander/

          Mahuti, a user on the arcade controls has done a full guide to its installation and use.

          http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,153009.msg1613922.html?PHPSESSID=1h8ma5tb060mq3r3bl84r4rklt#msg1613922

          Hope it goes ok for you
