It works fine here, both in game and service mode input tests. Are you playing with keyboard? It sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_rollover#Key_jamming_and_ghosting |

I do use an X-Arcade tankstick (a keyboard). I just don't understand why it's not working only for one position. If it was a 3-key problem, wouldn't it be occurring on the other three diagonals? |

No, certain 3-key combinations work, or don't work. It depends on manufacturer/keyboard model. That's weird if that X-Arcade stick doesn't have so-called n-key rollover. Assuming you haven't reconfigured the controls, try gradius. The default shoot button input is Left Alt, just like the deflect button in dotron. Can you fly diagonal up/left and shoot at the same time? |

The X-Arcade encoder won't have a problem with a 3-key combination like that, but their older encoders did have a 6 key + up to 3 "modifier" keys limit for a maximum of up to 9 keys total. Ctrl, Alt, and Shift are modifier keys. https://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,120374.0.html I'd recommend using a keyboard test program like this one to take MAME out of the equation. It can log both key down and key up events which is useful for troubleshooting excessive keybounce and/or worn-out microswitches. https://github.com/10yard/keyboardtester EDIT: X-Arcade updated their encoder design in Feb 2014 to remove the 6 key "boot protocol" limit. https://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,120374.msg1459447.html#msg1459447 |

I tried the tester and it was indeed not registering any input for that exact combination. My bad. Please delete this ticket. I guess the time-honored response of "It's a hardware problem" IS sometimes true! All I did was re-assign deflect to another key and it worked. |
