Note that this thread started in the middle of another thread.  ニユ-マン (nyu-man) mentioned there might be an error in the NeoGeo controller pinout on GameSX.  My reply:

Actually both are D buttons, check any neo geo stick.  While the console may only listen to one, the stick shorts both pins when D is pressed.

I know, it's weird, but I've got proof.  =)

You are right :-X, I've checked a NEOCD pad and #4 and #9 are bridged on the PCB.
But I still think that the table is confusing, it should be pointed out that the 2 pins are connected inside the joystick but only #4 carries the "D button" signal. ???

Yeah, it's time to move that page to the wiki.  =)

Oh, it's already been done.

I added a note about the D button.
