Hey Silent-Hunter! I am terribly sorry I'm slow to seeing this, but wow, thanks so much for this software! This really fills in the gap for those apps where I want to use my own controller. Already tested my custom Saturn USB pad ... sees everything great!
I have something to ask of you. I specifically want to set up my pad so it works with Final Burn Alpha. While the translation from D-pad to arrow keys work fine in emulator, I can't get the pad buttons to register with the game buttons.
My guess is because FBA is looking for the gamepad inputs and not their corresponding keyboard meanings (such as Home, L Shift etc.) I found this list of keycodes that FBA uses for the game controls:

and here is the wiki page on the topic

I read there is also a limitation to how keys the keyboard can register at a time, and its 2. This might pose a problem with games. There is no limit to keys pressed on the gamepad.
Is it possible for your app to register inputs into the gamepad controls and not their keyboard equivalent?
This would make your app indispensible for those games that are too stubborn to allow controller input, but can't receive input from the keyboard, like FBA.
Thanks!
