This software is pretty cool if you can get it to work because it lets you map keyboard keys to a gamepad, which lets you use for example WabbitEmu with a gamepad. Since it's impossible to map the entire keyboard to a gamepad you just map the most used keys, like Ctrl, Alpha, arrow keys, PageUp, PageDown, Enter, End and Del. It is enough, however, to make it considerably easier to play some calculator games over an emulator. Using the keyboard to do so is not always fun. You need to read the instructions, though, to make sure to not do anything wrong, but attached to this post, here's a config file with most keys mapped to my gamepad. Hopefully if most gamepads uses the same key mapping or a similar one, you may be able to use my config file too.

There's also an alternative to Joy2key called Xpadder, but it's no longer free.

if anyone wants it i do have a copy of Xpadder from back when it was free on my other computer :X

the only issue i have so far is multi keypresses, if i hold down arrows i have to release them before pressing another key, else it wont register so it can make it slower for example to shoot in Metroid II evolution, plus like with RPG maker, it won't let me use digital pad, just analog stick

This be a necro (or is it?) but that is really useful!

It's a definite necro.  In which case, it requires:

HOLY NECROPOST BATMAN!

No, it's
HOLY UNHOLY NECROPOST, BATMAN!
Y'gotta make HOLY an adverb. Remember that now.
