I'm getting stuck in a similar situation. I have plenty of 8bit do's production controllers and none have this problem. I have a pair of their USB Receivers for PC/Switch. I use them with 2 N30 Arcade sticks and SF Pro, SN Pro. With my N30 Arcade sticks for MAME to work correctly I leave it in Xinput with X/Y set. For Retroarch (like NES) I have to switch to Dpad from X/Y for directional control to register. With my SF and SN Pro, I had to boot them in Android mode (which I'm pretty sure just means Dinput) and then they work great in Retroarch (BNES and other Cores) I have correct control of games. But last night I built my first Mod Kit (from the NES Classic version) and while the controller looks and feels excellent, it seems to be stuck on X/Y for directional. No combination of startup choices is allowing me to get it to take inputs like the SN/SF Pro does - so I can't control directionals, but A/B I think are correct (Select,Start,A and B all work). I have a second kit to build, and I am about to order 2 of the Genesis kits - but I really need to get this working or it will all be for no reason.
