I just bought a sega genesis off ebay and got it in today. The system works fine, however the A & B buttons don't seem to work on the controllers. Is it possibly that the system is doing this, or possibly just a coincedence that the same buttons on the controllers don't work?

If it's been used before, high I bet it has, then the buttons on the controller is ruined by the previous owner.

I've had alot of problems with used Genesis controllers not working well...so I say it's probably the controller you have.

Every controller it came with though? I'll just buy a new controller and test it out. I mailed the guy about it to let him know.

hmm i would try a 3rd controller that u get somewhere else. and then be sure it plugs in nice and tight. then if that one dosnt work well either, then its the console. u shouldnt spend more than $8 really.

Did. I'd rather not send everything back unless I know it's the system. So I bought a new controller to test out. Even if it is the system....I paid $36 for a sega, 2 joysticks, 2 controllers, 29 games, and a 32x
