Parasol Henbee input bug

[anewuser]

Hello. Parasol Henbee (Japan) has an input bug:

• Hold the → button to start moving
• Press ← before releasing →

Result: The character will keep walking right instead of turning left.

I'm not sure if this is a game bug or an emulation issue. It is always reproducible on puNES, but happens less often on Mesen 2.0.0. Could you please look into it and maybe disable Left+Right for this game?

by default, puNES should have simultaneous UP+DOWN and LEFT+RIGHT disallowed. in Settings, Input there is an option to do so if needed, but it seems the option is not working at all.

Sorry for only replying now, could you try with the latest WIP?

[anewuser]

Thank you for looking into it. The last commit improved Parasol Henbee a bit when Left+Right is disabled, but now most other games from Dig Dug to SMB are unplayable with a keyboard. These can't be the default settings.

I thought I'd solve it quickly, but I underestimated the issue. The problem was more complicated than I expected. Could you try with the latest WIP?

All movements seem to be working perfectly now (including in Parasol Henbee!), but I found a related issue that affects every game:

• Hold the → button to start moving
• Click on a puNES menu before releasing →

Result: the → button stays down even after you release it:

Thanks so much for the test but above all thanks for the initial report, you made me discover a bug that had always been present.

I will take a look at this issue, I will keep you informed.

I should have solved it with the commit 24451d6, please try the last WIP.

Sorry, still broken. Build from the suggested commit but result is the same. Problem started after update of my system, which includes puNES.

I downgraded to 0.109 and controller issues went away

So you, with the build from the last commit, have this problem but with the controller? In fact, the tests I did were performed only with keyboard input, tomorrow I will test with my gamepad. Just out of curiosity, can you do a test with the keyboard?

[anewuser]

Everything is working fine for me on Windows now. The person who said it is still broken was somebody else, and since he mentioned automatic puNES updates from his Linux distribution, which I assume only happen for stable releases, I don't think he actually tried the latest build.

@4zbest Try the WIP AppImage, and then please file a new issue with more details about your system if you still experience any input bugs.

@punesemu Thank you again for taking the time to fix these issues. Parasol Henbee can be easily overlooked because people don't realize that this screen is actually a difficulty selector:

Playing it with this translation hack reveals that it is asking the player's age, and answering "10" sets the difficulty to hard:
