      Hi there,

      First post and asking for help already :)

      I have a xin-mo input controller which i have wired to a sanwa arcade joytick and buttons.

      [IMG]http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL842/3380194/7672117/413108741.jpg[/IMG]

      The buttons work fine and up, down, left, right work work fine too.

      diagonally up/right and down/left are ok also.

      It just wont go the other 2 ways....

      have set it up through retro pie and tried to set it up in mame and it just stays the same...

      Am I missing something or could it could be a compatibility thing?

      Any help is appreciated.

      Thanks.

                I've got the same problem, at first I thought it was the zippy sticks I'm using because I saw a few issues reported with malformed restrictor plates. I even removed them completely but both sticks have exactly the same issue, no up-left or down-right diagonal, whereas up-right and down-left work fine on both. Could it be related to how the switches are mapped to directions on the xin-mo board ?

                  I found and fixed the problem. I hadn't paid attention to the fact that I hadn't put up and down and left and right on the same axis ( +1/-1 +0/-0 ). By simply swapping two of the switch cables on the sticks and remapping the inputs in retroarch I now have 4 directions + 4 proper diagonals on both sticks ( easily tested in 1943 for example )
