Yes it works great with MAME, but the d-pad is just ridiculous. I tried the "Pringles lid" mod but I couldn't get it to work right. I might try again later....They are basically selling a broken product. It's exactly like Dmala says later in this thread.
But thankfully the Xbox 360 controller is great otherwise, for PC games I prefer it to Sony Dualshocks that I've been using for years. It fits better in my hands. R2 and L2 are analog "triggers" which is nice for driving games. If you wanted analog throttle/brake with the Dualshock, your best option was the right analog stick.
Most modern PC games have support for the XBox 360 controller with all controls mapped to it out of the box, on-screen instructions to hold "LT" or press button A etc. I never thought I'd be playing FPS games with a gamepad. I finished Batman: Arkham Asylum with it.
Before I bought mine I had been using an "emulator" which makes my dual shock controller (any DirectInput controller) work as an Xbox 360 controller. You set up the mapping in a text file and then chuck this text file and a modified xinput.dll into the game folder. Then the games see an XBox 360 controller and everything just works. Here's the link: http://code.google.com/p/x360ce/
You can use this with Tron Legacy and whatever gamepad you already have, as long as it has enough buttons of course.
