Joystick Mode SwitchingUpdated 22 days ago

Joystick Mode Switching

The Neo-Arcade board allows you to change the function of your joystick, enabling it to behave as any one of:

  • D-pad (generally recommended)
  • Left stick
  • Right stick

Sometimes it's helpful to be able to test the controls and understand definitively which setting the joysticks are using. See this guide for testing: https://polycade.gorgias.help/en-US/testing-joysticks-and-buttons-1110171


D-pad mode

Change to D-pad mode by pressing the start button and pushing the joystick up, and hold both for 5 seconds.
