      Hi guys. Recently I'm playing some GBA Fighting Games, and some uses a button combination to do some attacks, like B+L do a Medium Punch. I've made my Bartop with six action buttons, and was thinking if there's a way to map this combination to a single button. This could transform a "press two buttons to do a single attack" into a more arcade like experience. I'm using mGBA and VBA Next cores. Any clue on this situation?

      It's no use!!! Take this!!!

        @danielmewhouse Hm. I can't speak for those particular cores, but I seem to remember seeing something to that effect on FBA at least, I think - unsure if it's in the Quick Settings > Controls menu, or in the Options > Input menu.

        There were some unassigned buttons to "AB", "ABCD" and other simultaneous buttons.

        Might be worth checking if that's showing up for GBA.

          @pjft Thanks for response. I've get to this menu yesterday to remap the inputs but there's no options for this... Same at Retroarch on my Linux PC.

            @danielmewhouse Sorry for that then. Unless there's some magic we can pull off with XBoxDRV, I imagine your easiest solution is to re-map your buttons for GBA or for this game in a way that makes those combos more accessible (i.e. keeping those buttons closer to one another, for instance).
