Summary	06108: Joystick not working when built with SDL2
Description	I have an Ultimarc Ultra-Stik 360 joystick, MAME receives no input from my joystick when built with SDL2 support (version 2.0.3). It detects the joystick on MAME startup but does not work inside MAME. I have attached the output from startup. When compiled with SDL1 (SDL_LIBVER = sdl) the joysticks work fine.

I shipped the PCB to him, I am hoping that will fix it. I tested with my Gravis GamePad Pro and Xbox One controller and they work fine. Looks to be a joystick specific issue. We can close the bug.
