Here's how it happened:
I have a consolized MVS with Unibios 4.0 & USB controller ports. I have a Haute T-13 leverless/hitbox style pad that I use for fighting games. So last night, I decided to change the color of the buttons on the Haute pad while in the middle of a game. You have to use a button combination on the pad to do this: hold Start + Select, then press various buttons. Naturally, this Start +Select combo brought up the Unibios cheat screen, but it didn't end up selecting anything (no debug or anything like that). And this must have altered the button layout, because when I went to play again later, the main ABCD buttons were totally different (Up, down, left, & right remained the same). The I/O test screen confirmed it.
And here's the kicker: this remapping remained even when I plugged in different controllers! And it was consistent across different cartridges. I cleared the RAM and even unplugged the console and waited 24 hours to see if maybe it would forget. But nope! The remapping remained hardwired.
I somwhow got the remapping back to its original configuration by fiddling around with the same Haute pad in the I/O test screen. It was almost as if I cycled through different predetermined button configs. I has always heard that this wasn't possible without rewiring the buttons, so how did this happen?
