All the buttons can't be read at once. There is a multiplexer inside the control pad.
Reading the 3 buttons pad consist of 5 steps :
- Set the direction of pin 6 to output and all others to input.
- Set TH (pin6) to 1.
- Read the first part of the buttons (UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT,B,C)
- Switch the outputs in the control pad by setting TH (pin6) to 0.
- Read the second part of the buttons (A,START)
