Mayflash F300 Arcade Fight Stick
mame4all with the proper ROMS....they work with the keyboard but do not work with the Arcade Stick.
I have pressed TAB while in a game, Input this game and it does not see my d-pad when I try to use config it.
I can configure the buttons but not the d-pad. The Mayflash was setup prior trying all of this with the emulation station input configuration
The Mayflash d-pad does work in other emulators.
I have read all of these docs and looked through youtube many times and could use some more help

The modding process is very straight forward and surprisingly super easy for first timers. For any first time modders looking into it, Google and YouTube are your best friends, it's what I used as a first time fight stick modder and found that the process is pretty much the same for all fight sticks so don't be afraid to go in and switch out for the parts you want. A solid place to shop online for parts is FocusAttack, it's where I got all my parts during a sweet sales event. Check this out for getting more review.

@kipjmejia I did all of that...3 days of searching...over a dozen youtubes watched multiple times.
Your link takes me to an online writing essay

Can a programmer possible explain what this means. It is beyond my ability to decipher:

It is related to my problem of the joystick not working while the button do work with my Mayflash F300

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Use hori fighting stick mini 3. 2. Try using the stick. 3. Does not work,

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Stick working.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Rasbian, mame4all compiled from change set: ea85746014e2c2a85665f2a4d4a4b87e819a5287.

Please provide any additional information below. I made a patch that works for me.

Thanks so much for this! It worked great for my same stick.

How I used this patch:

--from the console on the pi mkdir mame4all cd mame4all git init git pull git://git.code.sf.net/p/mame4allpi/code/ --download patch and copy into mame4all directory (I used WinSCP and had renamed mine sticks.patch) git apply sticks.patch make --after quite a while it should finish and you'll have a file "mame" right there in your mame4all directory, cp it to where ever your mame launches from, I am using retropie so I: cd /opt/retropie/emulators/mame4all and then: sudo cp /home/pi/mame4all/mame mame
