Comment on How to repair unresponsive Mega Drive/Genesis d-pad?

I’ve never tried this personally, but I’ve seen a lot of articles and videos where they say the conductive coating under the buttons can wear out and cause them to become unresponsive and they were able to fix it by applying some graphite dry lubricant
Again though, I’ve never tried it myself so you may want to do your own research first

I ended up applying something called Liquiwire, which seems to work well so far! I can finally play The Lion King properly again ^_^.

That’s awesome! I’m glad it worked! I should look into some vintage controllers right now I’m playing everything on a retropie with a PS4 controller and it’s just not the same lol
