Description

When playing OOT (Ocarina of Time) using the ParaLLEI N64 core, some combinations of buttons will not work. For example, while using the shield (R button) it is impossible to backflip (A button) or to use the sword (B button). I am playing using a connected XBOX One controller in Windows 10.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the ParaLLEI N64 core with Ocarina of Time, an Xbox One controller, and Windows 10, testing shield plus backflip and shield plus sword. Trace the controller input handling and compare simultaneous-button behavior with expected N64 input. Done means these combinations work reliably without breaking other controls.
