Controller issues with some games

Open digitalLumberjack opened this issue 11 years ago • 5 comments

Hi, All of the buttons on the joypad doesn't work in certain Mega Drive games, on others everything works as it should. Some examples are:

Decap Attack (can't attack, only jump) and B pauses the game, Talmit's Adventure (same thing, only jump works)

I use the retroarch core of picodrive.

Hi. Any chance to have this fixed one day?

Is that going to be fixed? I really want to play decap attack but I cant really play it like that

direction keys work alright, but for example on my powkiddy q90 every time I press jump it also presses the start button

there's another game that's basically decap attack and it's called Magical Hat no Buttobi Tabo! Daibōken. Magical hat is the japanese version with different graffics, decap attack is based on it, so if you didn't get decap attack to work, you might want to play that other one.

For Decap Attack, it's actually a game bug, there are reports it doesn't work with some gamepads on real hardware and on Sega Nomad. But I've just pushed a hack commit for it.

About Talmit's Adventure, I could not see any problem with it, behaves same as on my MD1 with a flashcart. Maybe something changed since 2015.

Does this mean that the decap attack specific controller issue has been resolved? I am asking for clarification.
