I am using the emulator BizHawk 1.12.0. Well, I already defined all the buttons for Genesis and TurboGrafx-16 (PC Engine), but it really seems to me this emulator is not assigning all the buttons available for these systems. For example, in Genesis I only have (for Mortal Kombat 2) HIGH PUNCH, Low Kick and High Kick. There is no Low Punch. In Street Fighter for PC Engine I believe only three buttons can be used, too, aside from BLOCK and Start, which appears to be using the same button (L1 is often used for this command, and in here = Start). This is how it is configured here, for a PS2 controller: Genesis: http://i.imgur.com/MqpW7Ga.png PC Engine: http://i.imgur.com/ilNVb2E.png The rest of the options are empty. I did a comparison with Mednafen for PC Engine, and it really looks like to me that at least for this system Mednafen offers more buttons for you to use it. What did I do wrong? Or there is something I should know about this emulator?

I'm having a hard time understanding your question. You set your button in the controller config window (as it appear you have already done). Unsure what more you want, you have configured all 6 buttons. In the case of MK2, you have to set the game to 6 button controller mode, in the game menu (I think it's called Extra controller). I just tried, and I have access to HP, LP, LK, HK, and 2 of the buttons block. Edit: Regarding the PC-Engine, I don't know much about the system, the basic controller seems to have only select, run, I and II. There is some 6 buttons controller out there for the system, but it seems BizHawk doesn't support it.

Can you post a picture of that option for the Genesis? I am not finding here. And as for PC Engine, you really need more buttons, I believe. Try playing Street Fighter II using the emulator Mednafen, and hit this combination:
And hold down alt+shift and press 1. It should display a direction/button, followed by a number. Simply press the key you want to use for that direction/button. Pressing it a second time confirms the setting, and the setup moves on.
Then you'll see that this emulator allows for more buttons to be used for this game, while BizHawk doesn't, and this prevents you from using all available buttons. Well, at least when I tried here in this game I couldn't hit both PUNCH and KICK.

It's in the game, just start the game, go to the option menu

You're right, I totally missed that part. This is how my PS2 controller is configured now: http://i.imgur.com/Vw0I7jf.png It's working as it should for MK 2 and 3 for Genesis. MK 3 doesn't need you to activate the 6 button mode in the game.
