2 Button Support/Mega Drive Pad

lilwshu · Yesterday, 11:27

I have mostly been using a Sega Mega Drive 3-button joypad in my A1200 for the last 30 odd years but have noticed odd behaviour with it on some WHDload games that have 2 button support added. Most work as expected with the second button but things like New Zealand Story and Parasol Stars will only recognise the second button while you aren’t using the d-pad, or intermittently miss presses. When using a PlayStation-CD32 adapter in CD32 mode the mentioned two games work fine.

Is this behaviour expected?
