Feature request: Basic joystick keystroke remapping via built-in menu

[keenerb]

It would be nice to be able to access a menu under 3. Game that would prompt for something along these lines:

Up:
Down:
Left:
Right:

Button 1:
Button 2:

So you could access the menu and do something like:

Up: w
Down: a
Left: s
Right: d

Button 1: ctrl
Button 2: alt

and have the joystick mapped to those keyboard keypresses.

Yes this is a feature that has been on my mind for some time. Essentially all the back-end code is there it just needs the menu to be coded.

It would be better if Hidman could be accessed from the computer using serial port to set the joy mappings. This way one could launch a game with a batch file sending the remap and then launching the game's executable. I don't know if this is feasible with the current design though..

Yeah the serial RX pins are wired up. Also data could be sent over PS/2 for computers without serial.
