Commander X16

Actually, after further examination, all the games I've been testing have issues.  Some were just more obvious than others.   For instance, Turtles IV and Castlevania IV will not let you use B&Y (A&B on the NES pad) when you're moving with the D-Pad.  On Super Adventure Island, it's the opp...
