The nub modes that come with the pandora are pretty useful, but I would love to see arbitrary nub mapping.


This came up because I've mainly been playing SNES games with snes9x which has no nub support. Why does it need nub support? Can't we map the nubs to standard controls at a lower level? I want to map the left nub to the D-Pad, because using the left nub is more comfortable for my hands. It would also be great to map the right nub to the A, B, Y and X buttons for games like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qibK4k18Ry8, which uses the buttons as a joystick so you run in any direction and shoot in any direction.


Is there already a utility for accomplishing this? I assume there is a pretty robust nub control toolkit that is used by the standard nub settings, can anyone point me in the direction of the documentation and/or source code for that?

Dude I remember one guy that created a few pnds that mapped keys and nubs e.t.c but can't remember which forum it was on this or the gp32 forum, i'll try to find the thread and post this weekend

Out of interest did anyone manage to find this?


It'd be awesome to be able to remap this stuff - I find the brace, square-bracket, bracket, chevron / angle-bracket, semi-colon, colon keys (and esc! for vi) ridiculously helpful when coding, and I was hoping I'd be able to find this, but I've had no luck...


I already found http://pandorawiki.org/Keyboard_remapping - that'll work in a pinch, I was kinda hoping for sticks though!


Guess I'll need to code up my own that captures them as gaming controls, if I can't map them like the gaming buttons... :)


Thanks,
