Your gamepad doesn't react on the 6 button request. Why, I don't know. Could be that the gamepad doesn't react well. Could be a timing thing. Original Sega, 8BitDO and other user reported Retro-Bit work well.
Thank you for the fast answer.
What a relief to know its not coming from the NerdSeq side!
Quote:BTW, some of the controllers got shoulder buttons, but they have no extra function with any sega things, but can only be mapped for PC related controlling or to the regular buttons. Sega gamepads doesn't allow anything more than Start/ABC/XYZ and Mode. And they can stay in 3 or 6 button mode, depending on the way they are interfaced.
Which retro-bit did you get exactly and where from? If i can get my hands on one, I can debug and see if i can get it running as well. (I assume you got the Sega Master System/Genesis one)
I got mine from there, its a regular wired Megadrive 6 buttons Retro-Bit.
Its out of stock now but also exist in blue, i dont know if the two versions are working exactly the same(but i guess so...)
Im quite shure this is the model that other users have reported working.
Edit: i just realise that it also exist this version that is indeed the Genesis version, and the one i got is the Megadrive version
(its supposed to be the same console and same controllers but maybe still have a slight difference...)
Edit again: im investigating a bit more and my guess is that the Genesis run at 60Hz and the Megadrive does run at 50Hz so this could explain the timing issue...
Anybody here had luck with Megadrive controllers on NerdSeq?
(Maybe we should move this posts in the gamepad thread as its not really related to the firmware at the end? sorry about that)
If i am the only one reporting issue with this exact model, i guess mine is defectuous and have a issue with 6 buttons mode...
I gonna try to hook it up to an arduino and see if i can get it to work in 6 buttons mode, if so i will let you know.
Else i gonna get another one and pray for it to work
Thanks!
