Kat 5200 controller issue

[Stevaside]

Been trying quite a few more emulators during this lockdown, and this one for the 5200 seems to run all games & work except for 1 main problem: It will NOT detect me pressing right on the DPAD during the configuration

 

It's a pretty old PC control pad I found up in my closet I started using (Microsoft Sidewinder?? with no analog sticks, 4 main buttons & just 2 shoulder buttons)Honestly I can't even remember where I got it from but it works fine with NES Emulators & others so I don't understand what the issue is here. UP, LEFT, DOWN registers & maps it but not RIGHT for some reason

 

Anyone??

Really, it works everywhere else, except kay5200?  What's the operating system?

Yep, just Kat 5200 won't let me set right on the DPAD.  Windows 10

I just tried it with an old gravis gamepad (4 buttons and dpad only).  It works fine; kat5200-0.8.1 win7 64-bit.  You can manually set the mapping if autodetect doesn't work.  I do prefer Altirra, since it's the only one where I can get trakball emulation working properly.

Manually setting it is what I was trying, when I hit the RIGHT on the DPAD to set as RIGHT , nothing happened. Couldn't seem to figure out how to just let it autodetect the DPAD

Pressing the controller buttons is what I mean by autodetect.  You can edit the mapping directly without the controller.
