Description:

In any ZSNES-game if you press any diagonal direction on a d-pad of a gamepad (e.g. down-left) and roll your thumb to one of the "real" directions (e.g. down) ZSNES still interprets this input as the diagonal direction. This only gets resolved, when you release the d-pad completely and only push the "real" direction.

This is a known bug [0] with an existing patch but since the project seems to be dead I see no hope for this patch to get included upstream.

So I wonder, if we could include this patch (see attachment) in our package? I adapted the patch for the current version and tested it locally and it works as intended. I'm not sure if this has any bad side-effects though.

If I can be of any further assistance just let me know.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 1.51-19
