Make sure you didn't map the analog stick in the core menu

You don't map the analog stick in the core menu; make sure you map it from the main menu.

Ah that worked. The first time it was only asking me to input right on analog stick 1 but this time it asked for right and then down. Thanks for the help

Does this core run on the official MiSTer main now or do you still need to use the unstable MiSTer file?

Re: Arcade Game File Structure...Streamlining

Thats a sound plan, ill delete the Arcade, MAME and MAMEB folders and start from fresh!

It would appear its Jotego's JTBeta.zip file that has an Alt folder under the Acades folder for some reason!

After that ill run the The arcade-organizer script

3.5mm audio pigtail is a 3.5mm plug already connected to a short piece of audio cable like this: By using one you don't have to deal with the nasty nickel plated connections on the plug - I hate soldering those.
