Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/gopher64/gopher64/issues/550

I recently purchased an analog 64 controller from 8bitdo and I mapped the controls with Dinput. Inputting diagonals on the controller causes no input to be registered in any game with d-pad controls. This isn't a problem with the controller because it works fine on ares.

What do you mean d-pad diagonals? Do you mean pushing up and right on the dpad at the same time for example?

Correct. I've tested this in multiple games.

ok, I tested my controller (brawler 64) and I couldn't reproduce the issue.

Can you send me your config.json file? If you are on Windows it would be in the AppData folder for Gopher64. You can also create a file called portable.txt next to the EXE, and then it will create a portable_data folder and put the config.json file in there (you would need to re-create the input profile after creating the portable.txt file)

config.json

It should be the one labeled "64".

Thanks, I see the issue, it will be fixed in the next release. If you want to try it out, you can test the GitHub Actions build (once they are done compiling): https://github.com/gopher64/gopher64/actions/runs/17091369948
