    Just a tip, If you want crystal clear smoothed graphics you should go under internal resolution and set it to "4x Native" and turn on FXAA contrast sharpening to "sharpen and resize display resolution" you can also turn dithering to completely off to remove the muddy texture overlay, it looks absolutely amazing on my RTX laptop

    You can feel obvious input lag especially playing those SNK fighting games collections, such as KOF collection, Final Fury collection, etc. I guess it is because these collections are actually running a SNK arcade emulator itself, so it is an SNK NEOGEO emulator within a PS2 emulator, and the input lag issue gets amplified.

      Yeah, go to Settings -> Controllers
      On Global Settings click on "Enable Mouse Mapping"
      Then go to Controller Port 1 and configure the right analog inputs and the rest of the buttons
      It will feel very janky though, as it's not designed to play games that way

    i press L3 and it open some sort of menu...
    and i have no idea how to ACTUALLY use the controller. its as if some button is hardlinked to certain function like a hot key, but i have no idea how to remove these. there's nothing in the [hot key] except keyboard

      Do you have Steam open? It can cause some issues
