I would not want switched A and B buttons

drop select and map the A to C aswell. I don't want to dig out my conroller with A and C swapped... A must jump

A must jump

The jump button must be to the right of whatever the NES B-button is mapped to

On an MD 3-button controller that makes B, C the best choice.

Heh, playing through it I've missed countless jumps because I hit the wrong button for jump. I agree with adding C as an additional jump button.

Yeah, that would work too. I solved the problem for the moment by re-assigning my keys in Fusion, of course that helps none for hardware. As long as there is a run button to the left of a jump button, I don't really care. I like the idea of B for run and A/C for jump, although I never use A to jump on an MD game unless I have no choice, so many years of using debug on the Sonic games has hardwired C as my default jump button.

Also, did you ever look into the input issue with player 2? Perhaps your joypad init code was a bit buggy? I helped someone debug a problem like that once, and with fixed init code the buttons worked right.

on my NES controllers, I have swapped A and B... more to do with an habit, since I got some clone controllers for my Famiclone that were like MD 6buttoners, where A is A, B is B and Z is A+B, and XYZ are turbo buttons... my fav controller and 12 years playing with that definitely burns something into your mind(and fingers)

I wish it was "A" Run "B" Jump "C" Run

But B+C is fine

Do a SMB2j Port..But the Mapper 4 Hack

Over on Devster's forum, Mairtrus wrote:- According to Sik (he said it first...), now in main screen the number of players is selected with the Up/Down buttons. Now the A and C buttons does the same function. Plus, the joypads are initilized properly, so now the joypad 2 works in Fusion (an I guess in real hardware too)

I read that..I'm just so used to the run button on A on the Genesis & B on the NES

I think I found a bug or something, try to reset the game while your playing on the Real Hardware

In Fusion when I soft reset ..there's a blue screen, but you could still hear it

For the record, world 36 no longer crashes, although it does not behave the same as the NES version. You get an underwater 3-4, which upon completion acts like you've beat the game, setting the hard mode flag and enabling the world select.
