Is this possible under DOSBox yet? There are some games I know which don't support the joypad natively (LBA, Crazy Drake etc) and I'd much like to get around this issue. I'm aware of the Keymapper feature but it looks like all it does it redirect key functions to other keys on the keyboard.

Maybe I'm being silly and just not looking hard enough, but help would be gladly appreciated nevertheless. 😀 Thank you.

For Windows, programs like joytokey and Xpadder (version 5.3 and older are freeware) would likely be a good choice to use instead. I think these can only work on Wine applications if run from Wine. Maybe try QJoyPad if Linux. I'm not sure about free programs for other operating systems.

The mapper can remap joystick buttons/directions to keys and the other way round.
