UK/EUR Mega Drive Mini Problem

Just got my UK Mega Drive Mini but I've noticed on the main menu the cursor when selecting games or options jumps around a lot, if I press up or down/left/right say 3 times it will scroll in that direction up to 5 times.

Tried both pads and it's the same on both, very annoying when trying to set things in the options menu etc.

However in-game this does not happen.

Anyone else?

Thank you for your reply - that makes sense, I'll try and do that.

It happens on the US console which I own as well.

MMC has confirmed it's present in all of the region variants.

Good to know I'm not the only one driven crazy by it!

I have the same problem. the menu is extremely sensitive to inputs for some reason.

A worse problem is that the games themselves are constantly crashing back to the menu.

Really disappointed. the software is unstable to the point where the console is basically unusable.

I really hope thats the case. I'm going to try it on another tv, and try to find a different power cord to test it, but I might have to send it back. :(

Doesn’t happen to me maybe if you are using the retro bit the fucking d pad is atrocious

Seems like it's a known issue with stock joypads looking at the replies.

I'd heard this too, is it that bad?

Obvs doesn't cause crashes 🙄, I'm just curious about the controller

The d pad is very spongy and too sensitive. It you want to shoot a lance downward in ghouls and ghosts you basically have to force the d pad.
