All PS1 cores have broken controls in Army Men Air Attack

RetroArch General
#1

In Army Men Air Attack, the main menu controls go up or down twice, which makes it almost impossible to navigate.

I tried all three of the PS1 cores, and this problem occurs in all of them. Seems to be a problem with RA itself (Win10, RetroArch 1.9.10)

How can this be resolved?

This issue does not occur with standalone Mednafen or Duckstation.

do you have analog-to-digital conversion enabled?

#3

yeah - the controls are the worst thing in retroarch… so bad to configure

#4

No Analog to Digital Type is disabled.

I set the Device to Analog (DualShock), which this game supports. I had to enable “Force Analog Mode On Boot” in DuckStation, otherwise it is impossible to manually toggle the Analog button for games that don’t automatically do it, such as Colin McRae Rally 2.0. Luckily the core seems to have a database of games which require Digital, and skips those (phew).

Also, this bug only affects the main menu and mission brief menu of the game, including Circle button for Help. Once in game level, it seems to behave a bit better on the pause menu, for comparison.
