I had 8 buttons originally but removed 4 and added the joystick. All 8 buttons worked but most of them had to be held down to get them to work (except Button 1 which worked perfectly). They're all coded and wired the same way so they should only have to be pressed to give an input. Now, some of the buttons have to be held for a few seconds just for the input to register.
I attached a pic of the schematic. The buttons are each using a 10k resistor. I don't understand why they're behaving stangely.
