Is this typical behavior for tankstick when testing with jtest?

[smartpig]

I have been doing a ton of reading here and elsewhere trying to do some configuring. While I have not been able to fix my issue - exit emulator - I came across something odd when testing the buttons, and their assignments.

Running Xarcade2Tankstick
When I run jstest on either player1 or player 2 controls, the the jstick and 8 main buttons all register as expected, showing a value in the appropriate area when I press-release or press-hold.

However, when I tried to test either the Player-1 button, or the Coin button (on the side) it seems like the press is not being registered in the same way. When I press and hold, there is no value/status change. When I press-release I get a short flicker, and it seems that its only registering the 'press' when I release the button.

I suppose this could be the intended behavior of the tankstick's encoder - thinking of swapping it for an iPac2 - but I wondered if this was really the expected behavior, or some sort of issue with my unit.

Thanks!
