From my understanding both set the bit 4 of the console port so it should be the same.
I'm testing with zapper_stream rom of rainwarrior from https://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13021 with Mesen, Bizhawk, FCEUX.
If i select a zapper for the port 2, the rom works as expected and detect the trigger pulling but if i select a second gamepad and press Up button nothing happens. So it must have something wrong in my understanding.
Can someone help me pointing out the issue pls?
Thanks!

The standard controller does not give you all the bits simultaneously. When you read $4016 or $4017, you only get one button at a time, and that from the least significant bit.

The zapper, in contrast, only has 2 "buttons", and those are received simultaneously. (Unless you're on the Vs. System)

I get it now, thank you
