Joystick not working on Spectrum core

[Fuzzball]

I have an 8BitDo NeoGeo gamepad that is working fine on other cores but only the buttons work on the gamepad with the Spectrum core. The joystick is not working at all. Any ideas why this might be?

With the Spectrum it is vital to pick the correct Joystick interface in the game. If I recall correct you can also pick the interface in the core menu. Make sure you choose the one ingame you have set in the core menu. Usually I pick the Kempston interface as most games bring support for it.

I know. The joystick is set to Kempston in the Mister settings and I am selecting Kempston in game. The buttons work. The joystick doesn't. It's the same in any Spectrum game but for other cores (at least the ones I have tried) the gamepad works fine.

Did you try to redefine mappings in-core? (F12 --> Define Spectrum buttons)

I had tried redefining them at the global level but I didn't know defining them at a core level was a thing. This resolved it. Thanks.
