Little update:

I "modded" my stick by putting one of those "zero delay usb encoders" in it. It was easy enough for me to do and it works great.

I know this is an older post...

I have the same stick (8818, PS3 Version). Wanted to use it with RetroPie when I got it. Back then it didn't work. Had to use

Maybe there is a way to make it work in MiSTer as well?

Is what you meant here somehow related to what I just described?

An update of sorts: I got myself another MD SNAC adapter from a known good source (AKA https://misterfpga.co.uk). The ones I have I bought 2nd hand and didn't bother to ask who made them at the time. Unfortunately that didn't change anything. Although not MD-related I found out this: because I didn't own one before I also ordered the TG16 SNAC adap...

Got myself another controller. This one just says 1650 and is Made in Taiwan. It has a white Start button, my other controllers have a red button. Still the symptom is the same. The search continues...

It's not the extension, I removed that first thing. And I don't have an oscilloscope unfortunately.
Could it really be that my particular version of controller doesn't work (well, it works, with a twist)? What would the difference be?

To rule out any software problems, I setup another SD-card. Problem remains. Tried several versions of the Genesis core. Problem remains. My other SNAC adapters (NES, SNES) seem to work okay. Also my original SMS pad doesn't do anything weird, neither in the SMS nor the GEN core. Furthermore I can now confirm that one of my MD controllers when pres...

They are original Mega Drive controllers.

Don't know about MD pads in an SMS game really but there are 1 or 2 controller test roms that provide tests for SMS and MD (even 6 button) pads.

I haven't used the SNAC much until now so I can't be sure if this problem is new or not. Other than this problem the controller works fine, each button does what is supposed to do. I used the 240p test suite to find out what's going on. Maybe this is even original behaviour but I can't test that. What happens is this: I hold B+C and then press any ...
