Software with J-PAC/I-PAC-like functionality?

[midiman]

So I currently own a J-PAC that is successfully collecting dust. Unfortunately, I won't have access to my cabinet for a while.

In the meantime, my emu computer is coming along nicely, and I'd like to start using it more with a controller than the keyboard. I have 2x USB->Playstation adapters that bring in PS2 controllers as joysticks.

Is there any software out there that can somewhat emulate with the J-PAC does? Particularly the "shift" functionality. i.e. - I'd like to get my joystick sending out 6 buttons and 4-way pad as keystrokes with one shift key, just like the J-PAC.

Maybe Im not following... You can use AHK to reamp certian button presses to others... But what exactly are you trying to do?

Exit game button sequence? If so there is a built in alternitive.

Can you be more specific?

You can set MAME inputs to button combinations if that's what you're looking for? Just select an input option (GUI cancel for example) and hit 'enter' on your keyboard - press the buttons you want to use for exiting.

If this is intended for other emulators than just MAME, you can use XPadder to remap joystick input however you like.
