I'm using one of those Saturn->USB converters. DOSBox detects it fine but a lot of games don't respond to my gamepad (likely because they don't have gamepad support at all).
Is there any kind of old DOS tool or driver I could load within DOSBox to map my gamepad presses to keyboard entities? For example, having LEFT go to "A", RIGHT to "D", UP to "W" and DOWN to "X"? I'm looking to play some of my old Chinese games and that's the common keyboard map for directions, but I find it horridly inconvenient because of the angle the keys are on ...
Any help or ideas would be appreciated. I'm sure there has to be some kind of tool for it.
System Specs (hey, who knows what's relevant?):
Pentium M 760 at 2.00GHz, 533MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache
1GB 400MHz DDR2 RAM
ATI Radeon X600 128MB
Windows XP SP2
PS/SS/DC Joypad to USB BOX on a USB2.0 port
Oh, by the way, DOSBox does kick ass. I've been using it around a year now, though more since i got my new computer that can actually pull off full speed with it. The only games it seems to have problems with are the ones I'd expect it to -- poorly coded ones that explode on virtually everything but the specific DOS version they were made on (like Xuanyuan Sword 1 ...) So this is more of a, "Gee, it'd be nice if DOSBox did this too" rather than an "OMFG CANNOT MASH GAMEPAD DOSBOX IS TEH POS!" kind of question 😀
