Some older devices and are incapable of registering multiple button presses. For example, in Super Mario, you can run OR jump, but you can’t run AND jump. If you’ve played any Mario games, you’ll quickly realize this makes the game unplayable. Additionally, some direction pads only support 5-directions — up, down, left, right and then ALL the diagonal directions map to the action button. For the pad to work well for game play, it needs to be 8-directional — up, down, left, right, up/left, up/right, down/left, down/right. The solution is to use the on screen virtual pad or to purchase a hardware solution.
