Reply To: Changing the button mapping for Megadrive only

[bobbyt]

By default it maps only to A B & Z, as the default Genesis/Megadrive controller had only 3 buttons.

The 6 button controller was released at a later date (I had a Genesis as a kid and I remember upgrading all my controllers around the time Mortal Kombat came out for the home systems).

If you go into the RetroArch config menu (by hitting F1 on your keyboard by default), you can toggle the emulator from 3 button to 6 button mode under one of the menu options…

Once you do this the custom mapping will need to tied to the following buttons:

input_player1_a_btn = “#”
input_player1_b_btn = “#”
input_player1_y_btn = “#”
input_player1_x_btn = “#”
input_player1_r_btn = “#”
input_player1_l_btn = “#”

Note that there isn’t a 1 to 1 mapping of A B C X Y Z on these, but if you play around with them for a while eventually you should be able to figure out which button corresponds to what in 6 button mode…
