Standard Controller
From SnesLab
(Redirected from Directional Pad)
The Standard Controller has 12 buttons:
- A
- B
- X
- Y
- Start
- Select
- L
- R
- Up
- Down
- Left
- Right
L and R are shoulder buttons; everything else is a face button.
Like the NES controller, each button only has one bit of state (pressed/unpressed) associated with it - there are no analog sticks/triggers like the GameCube controller's L and R.
Normally, up to two controllers can be connected to the control deck, but the MultiPlayer 5 can expand that up to 5.
Its signature is 0000. [2]
Internally, the standard controller contains a 16-bit shift register.
Edge Detection is a technique for processing controller data. [3] It can mitigate chattering.
Another word for "button" mentioned in the official manual is "switch."[1]
