MULTIPLE buttons for an action? (PiFBA)

[Allo]

Hi there,

I am wondering whether it is possible to assign more than one button for any action in the fba2x.cfg file? For example, let say I want A (which normally functions as light kick in many of the fighting games) to be activated by button 0 and 1, is there some way I can add both numbers?
(e.g.
A_1=0;1
OR
A_1=0,1
OR
A_1=0/1
OR something along those lines)?

[Allo]

Hmm, maybe I should phrase it differently - is there a way to have a 3 punch or 3 kick button in PiFBA?

@Allo i don't know about pifba but you can definitely do this in lr-fbalpha, which you should be using anyway unless you have a pi1/0.

For some reason, most of my ROMs don't work with lr-fbalpha, but do work perfectly with PiFBA. Is there a difference in the ROMs for the two emulators?

Yes there is a big difference. Arcade roms are not universally compatible. It sounds as though you are experimenting without reading the guide. I promise you this will lead to great frustration. lr-fbalpha needs the v0.2.97.39 romset as opposed to the v0.2.96.71 required by pifba

Ok, so I've downloaded the correct ROMs and now running lr-fbalpha. I've entered the menu to customise my buttons, but I still can't find a 3 punch/3 kick option!

Where do I find this 3 punch/3 kick option?

Where do I find this 3 punch/3 kick option?

quick menu > options

or

quick menu > controls

i think here should be something like that
