      I have several emulators on pi3 I'm using picodrive for genesis. If I play any genesis, the controls work. I'm using a buffalo controller. I can't seem to figure out why the controls work in other emulators, but not Sonic. Is there something different about those?

          The controllers work in Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Mame, Sega 32X, Atari 2600 & 7800 & all tested Sega genesis games except Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 & Sonic & Knuckles. I replaced the roms with others from different rom sites so I wouldn't just be replacing faulty roms with the exact same ones. Is there something different about those games that anyone knows about?

            @bosco so you have any sonic config files in your genesis/ megadrive roms folder? If so delete them
