I have 1 of each and the controller I borrowed from the friend is a #1, too. Long story short, the controllers that have the dark grey triggers (#1) don't work whereas the other ones (#2) do work.
I don't know if any of you ever paid attention to the L and R triggers, but on some controllers the 'L' and 'R'are labelled in a dark grey (#1 in the following)Īnd on some they aren't marked by a distinguishable letter on the trigger (#2 in the following) So then it hit me (note: this refers to European controllers, the ones with the colourful buttons): I even got another controller from a friend (note: all original snes controllers, both ports of the adapter work with the good one) but to no avail, same problem. you name it, I tried every possibility that I could in order to figure out the flaw. Tried various emulators, switched the controller-ports, did key-mapping with the functioning controller, then restarted the emulator with the controller that didnt't work.
The same that has been described above happened to me: One controller works fine, on the other one only the B button works.
As I want to have the right feel to the gaming, I got my old SNES controllers, a Mayflash adapter and started up my system. Recently I have been setting up my RasperryPi after already having used various emulators for many years. Hey all, first post, felt like sharing my experience on this.
