Just like the PSone question, getting rid of stuff.

Are there any games that don't work at all with the 6 button controller? I know some you have to hold Mode down, but that's no problem.

Thanks.

golden axe 2
but that is a normal megadrive cart, not a 32x/mega cd game.

Comma inserted... sorry.

And I could have sworn I was able to play Golden Axe 2 by using the Mode button.

i can back up that theory too. Golden Axe II needs to have the MODE button held down before you power it up.

I always wondered what that damn thing was for. (Mode button).

IIRC, Forgotten Worlds isn't compatible either.

Yeah the first time I used the mode button was in DOOM on 32X to enter in a cheat code....and that's all I thought that damn button was good for lol

found out 2 weeks ago or so that DeCap Attack wasn't compatible with 6 button controllers (unless you do the mode trick I was told, but I haven't tried it yet)

I have an old third party Genesis 6 button pad, and after I bought Forgotten Worlds for my Genesis awhile back, I was disappointed to find out it didn't work correctly (start a game, go straight to game over) with my six button pad. I just don't remember if I did the hold mode button trick down before I powered it on, looks like I'll have to give that a try.

The old pad is starting to malfunction, looks like I'll have to replace it soon.

If I recall, Ms. Pac-Man will not work properly unless you use the 3 button controller. I think the D-pad is non-functional if you use the 6-button controller.

So far so good! :) I have Forgotten Worlds and Ms. Pac-Man on other systems.

And if I get a chance i'll test Decap myself :)

Thanks for all the help everyone.

All of the aforementioned Genesis games will work with 6 button pad as long as you hold down the Mode button as you are turning on the system and have gotten past the Sega Logo.

Fatal Fury 2 works fine with a 6 button pad (No need to use the mode button to trick your system into thinking that a 3 button pad is connected), but if you tap mode during gameplay, your character strikes a pose and taunts his / her opponent. 8-)
