map/use Genesis buttons on 4 stick's directions

[Airbag]

Hello,

I'd like to play my favorite "twin stick shooter" (Xenocrisis) on a Megadrive / Genesis core (I tried both old Genesis core and new Megadrive core) with my Xbox360 joystick (because it has 2nd stick, contrary to a real Genesis gamepad)

So I try to use "Define Genesis buttons" (or "Button/Key Remap") to use (or map) the right stick directions to Genesis buttons :

• A is (or mapped to) down direction on right stick
• B is (or mapped to) right direction on right stick
• X is (or mapped to) left direction on right stick
• Y is (or mapped to) top direction on right stick

But I can only use/map 2 directions the right stick (not all 4)
Is this a core or framework limitation, or I'm missing something ?
Thanks for your help !

I'm not home so I can't check but I thought there was a way to switch between 3 and 6 buttons controllers. Do you see the option and which setting you have selected?

I have XC on NeoGeo-CD and was thinking about getting it on N64 because I HATE it on NeoGeo-CD because it doesn't control like a twin stick at all and it takes too long to load. I have read that it plays like a twin stick on the N64 because of the c buttons but I can't confirm

I'm already in '6 buttons' mode in the core.

N64 (or SNES) versions are NO GO for me because you still need to press 2 buttons at the same time to do a diagonal.

I forget if I ever tried a Genesis core with a DualShock 4, but I know I've gotten its analog sticks to work as twin sticks on the Robotron 2084 core, so I assume a 360 controller can similarly work as a twin stick controller.

Maybe try remapping the main MiSTer controls first?
