Reply to HELP - gamepad to midi

hello,

i'm building my controller based on two gamepads, and i've came across with a small problem.

i have 16 buttons for each gamepad and now i'm dealing with the "arrows" i believes is called hatswitch?

when i press up + left i get a up/left message, so, i believe i could expand more 4 buttons combining let/right with up/down...

but the problem, for example, is when i press up + down at the same time, i only get down and not two buttons pressed...

is there a way to get arround this?

thanking you in advanced
