[EDIT] Button 5 and 6 on Naomi games working alternatively (not in games) #1060

[EDIT] This issue seems to have no impact on games, since you can actually use 5+6 together even if the behaviour into the test menu is what I described a while ago. -_-'

Sorry for that.

I verified some problems with simoultaneous pressing of more than 3 buttons in Naomi games. It can be replicated by launching ANY game (not only 6 buttons games) and entering JVS test - Input test. This affects only games where combinations of buttons is required for some controls such as MvC2, CvS2 and so on.

The emulator allows you to map up to 8 buttons.

Using Keyboard you have more issues than using x360 pad, but none of the methods is 100% working. I wasn't able to test all the possible combinations, but I discovered more than one:

KEYBOARD Buttons 1+2 pressed:

JOYPAD (only differences compared to keyboard) Buttons 1+2 pressed:

Apparently using the pad you can't sum up 6 buttons, as 5 and 6 will be alternative. Again, all of the buttons are OK if you press them one at a time.
