Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Looking at the 5.05.05 manual, I don't see any support for the D-pad (hilited in photo below) in the CLASSIC() function, although all other analog controls and buttons are supported. Am I missing something?

B returns a bitmap of the state of all the buttons. A bit will be set to 1 if the button is pressed.

The button bitmap is as follows:
BIT 0: Button R
BIT 1: Button start
BIT 2: Button home
BIT 3: Button select
BIT 4: Button L
BIT 5: Button down cursor
BIT 6: Button right cursor
BIT 7: Button up cursor
BIT 8: Button left cursor
BIT 9: Button ZR
BIT 10: Button x
BIT 11: Button a
BIT 12: Button y
BIT 13: Button b
BIT 14: Button ZL

Bits 5 to 8 work for me.

LOL, thanks! I guess the 'cursor' name was throwing me off; everyone I know always calls it the directional pad, or DPad for short.

Thanks!
