Well I have 2 mega drive joypads and they only work as a 1 button joypad? I thought this was always the case without a mod being done to it?

You have to be playing games that support that extra button of course.

assuming you are, you should have a working B and C buttons, this is true for the 6 button pads too (which I use) Some games which should support the extra button in WHDload don't seem to support this very well however, and one of the faster Master System emulators also does not support it, despite saying it does.  So perhaps something does need to be done to the pads to make them work consistently.  I recall one post somewhere, where someone suggested it was because the rubber contact pad has different resistance properties to a microswitch, but in this case i would have thought that no buttons or directions on a pad would work reliably.


I have a 6 button megadrive pad and when I play sf2 etc.. the 2 buttons that work do the same thing :(

Well I have just tried ssf2 and I can confirm that my Sega mega drive 6 button controller does indeed have a 2 button function, ssf2 is installed to my hdd with whdload as well :)
