      About 10 days ago, on this thread replying to hubz, I put the whole list in a code block.

          Just tried out the experimental PC88 emulator called Quasi88 and it works great! Here's my keymapping -

          pc88="--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2
          --ui-axismap x2=REL_X:10,y2=REL_Y:10
          --ui-axismap x1=KEY_4:KEY_6,y1=KEY_8:KEY_2
          --ui-buttonmap du=KEY_8,dd=KEY_2,dl=KEY_4,dr=KEY_6,back+start=KEY_F12
          --ui-buttonmap lt=BTN_LEFT,rt=BTN_RIGHT,back=KEY_2,start=KEY_1,y=KEY_SPACE,a=KEY_ESC,b=KEY_ENTER,x=void,lb=KEY_Y,rb=KEY_N
          --ui-buttonmap guide=void,tl=void,tr=void
          --ui-axismap x2=void"

          I'm not sure if this is ideal yet, but to make this work you also need to go to F12 for the menu and then the 6th tab, from there make sure the option near the bottom marked -tenkey is checked. If you're like me and like scanlines make sure and go to the third tap and mark the option -skipline near the bottom. To save your settings you need to hit the button to the left of the F12 button and confirm it to save.

            Okay having the same issue with PC98 as I am TI99. I am not able to get the Numpad reliably mapped to XBoxDrv for some reason. KEY_NUMERIC_# is what I've been using but it's not recognizing it for some reason on these. Other keys are mapping fine however. Any ideas why that might be?

              Try using KEY_KP1, KEY_KP2, KEY_KP3...etc. If they work for what you need, a full list of non-numeral KP keys, such as KEY_KPASTERISK can be discovered by typing /opt/supplemental/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv --help-key in the command line.

                @mediamogul You're a godsend, that was my problem all along. Didn't realize it needed to be KEY_KP# on the numpad. Geez! Now PC88, PC98, and TI99 all work great!

                Here are my revised mappings -

                ti99="--ui-axismap x2=void
                --ui-axismap x1=KEY_KP4:KEY_KP6,y1=KEY_KP2:KEY_KP8
                --ui-buttonmap du=KEY_KP8,dd=KEY_KP2,dl=KEY_KP4,dr=KEY_KP6
                --ui-buttonmap lt=void,rt=void,back+start=KEY_ESC,start=KEY_1,back=KEY_2,y=KEY_KP0,a=KEY_SPACE,b=KEY_ENTER,x=void
                --ui-buttonmap lb=void,rb=void,guide=void,tl=void,tr=void"

                pc88="--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2
                --ui-axismap x2=REL_X:10,y2=REL_Y:10
                --ui-axismap x1=KEY_KP4:KEY_KP6,y1=KEY_KP8:KEY_KP2
                --ui-buttonmap du=KEY_KP8,dd=KEY_KP2,dl=KEY_KP4,dr=KEY_KP6,back+start=KEY_F12
                --ui-buttonmap lt=BTN_LEFT,rt=BTN_RIGHT,back=KEY_2,start=KEY_1,y=KEY_SPACE,a=KEY_ESC,b=KEY_ENTER,x=void,lb=KEY_Y,rb=KEY_N
                --ui-buttonmap guide=void,tl=void,tr=void
                --ui-axismap x2=void"

                pc98="--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2
                --ui-axismap x2=REL_X:10,y2=REL_Y:10
                --ui-axismap x1=KEY_KP4:KEY_KP6,y1=KEY_KP8:KEY_KP2
                --ui-buttonmap du=KEY_KP8,dd=KEY_KP2,dl=KEY_KP4,dr=KEY_KP6,back+start=KEY_F11
                --ui-buttonmap lt=BTN_LEFT,rt=BTN_RIGHT,back=KEY_2,start=KEY_1,y=KEY_SPACE,a=KEY_ESC,b=KEY_ENTER,x=void,lb=KEY_Y,rb=KEY_N
                --ui-buttonmap guide=void,tl=void,tr=void
                --ui-axismap x2=void"

                  Glad that solved it. I ran into that same issue with Atari800.

                    Here's my list of 4-way strict MAME games. I finished out the additional landscape-oriented parent titles missing from @spud11's list above and I added 'Pac-Man', 'Pac-Man and Chomp-Chomp' and 'Rootbeer Tapper', as those are three clone variations that I personally enjoy.

                      @mediamogul Well done! That's terrific. I've got a landscape mode too, so I'll use these for that setup too.

                        @mediamogul As Arkanoid/Tempest were in my mame-libretro folder (rather than in the arcade-vertical folder I was using for all other vertical lr-mame2003 games), I needed to set up Player 1 and 2 keys in the TAB menu once again.

                        Once I'd done that, I could start a game and the dial controls worked as they were already mapped to left and right. In the end, I didn't really need to do anything and could have just left these games in the * category, but decided I would add a "DialGames" reference to the existing case statement anyway. Arkanoid and Tempest do seem to work equally as well with restricted 4 way joysticks as with unrestricted.

                        Runcommand-onstart.sh looks like this:

                        #!/bin/sh
                        ### Uncomment one or all of the following if you need to find some information about the emulator or roms

                        ### Name of the software used for running the emulation
                        #echo $2 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                        
                        ### Name of the rom
                        #echo $3 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                        
                        ### Executed command line
                        #echo $4 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

                        I'm really pleased with how things have gone, having fixed up my amiga problems and sorted out the older arcade games. I can really see the difference with Ms Pacman and am now enjoying playing it.

                        Thanks for your assistance over the past 3 or 4 weeks to get this working.

                        I reckon I'm just about ready now to look at Daphne and other emulators that could also benefit from xboxdrv.

                          Arkanoid and Tempest do seem to work equally as well with restricted 4 way joysticks as with unrestricted.

                          If you want to get analog control for these (or any dial/paddle/wheel games) on a controller with thumbsticks, mapping mouse movement works very well. While nothing beats an actual dial/paddle/wheel for these games, having analog control of some kind makes them substantially more playable.

                          Thanks for your assistance over the past 3 or 4 weeks to get this working.

                          Not a problem. It's impressive that you stuck with it. As I said earlier, your setup was particularly complicated.

                            have you messed around with getting Stratagus to work with a controller.
                            i have the mouse movement to work and f10 mapped. but the mouse button will not work....sort of.

                            im able to move and use the menu, with the 'mouse and mouse buttons' but it will not let me move the men. it just lets me select them.

                            Might be something that just will not work kinda like Maldita Castilla

                              To eliminate it being a problem with the game itself, are you able to get the control you're looking for with an actual mouse?

                                yes, it works fine. i even used evtest /dev/input/event* to pull what was coming up and it was BTN_LEFT, BTN_RIGHT just like i have it in my mapping.

                                its odd that it kinda works.

                                here is what the mouse that works comes up with when i press the left button

                                Event: time 1490821100.299279, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 90001
                                Event: time 1490821100.299279, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 272 (BTN_LEFT), value 0

                                  Do you have the mouse attached when using the xboxdrv mapping? It could be that it can only use mouse0 for game play.

                                    @mediamogul by any chance do you have a config for wing commander 3 or 4 ?

                                    Here is an xpadder 360 example :

                                    Pitch Up (Arrow UP) -> UP on Left stick (via XPadder) 
                                    Pitch Down (Arrow DOWN) -> DOWN on Left stick (via XPadder) 
                                    Yaw Left (Arrow LEFT) -> LEFT on Left stick (via XPadder) 
                                    Yaw Right (Arrow RIGHT) -> RIGHT on Left stick (via XPadder) 
                                    Roll left (INS) -> LEFT on Right stick (via XPadder) 
                                    Roll right (DEL) -> RIGHT on Right stick (via XPadder) 
                                    Double movement (SHIFT) -> Downclick on Left stick (Button 8) 
                                    Afterburn Toggle: (`) -> Select 
                                    Increase throttle (=+) -> UP on Right stick 
                                    Decrease throttle (-_) -> DOWN on Right stick 
                                    AutoPilot (A) -> Start 
                                    Match speed of target (Y) -> Y 
                                    Cycle displays (0) -> X 
                                    Drop decoy (E) -> B 
                                    Lock target (toggle) (L) -> A 
                                    Select next target (T) -> R shoulder 
                                    Select next turret (R) -> L shoulder 
                                    Fire guns (Spacebar) -> R trigger 
                                    Fire missiles (Enter) -> L trigger 
                                    Switch gun(s) (G) -> D-Pad UP (via XPadder) 
                                    Select full guns (F) -> D-Pad LEFT (via XPadder) 
                                    Select all missiles (B) -> D-Pad RIGHT (via XPadder) 
                                    Select missile (M) -> D-Pad DOWN (via XPadder) 
                                    

                                    Ill give it a go ... but yikes.

                                      I don't, but your example is easy enough to convert. Everything you listed above can be achieved by adding the lines below to a base xboxdrv command that is tailored for your controller.

                                      --dpad-as-button \
                                      --ui-axismap x1=KEY_LEFT:KEY_RIGHT,y1=KEY_UP:KEY_DOWN,x2=KEY_INSERT:KEY_DELETE,y2=KEY_EQUAL:KEY_MINUS \
                                      --ui-buttonmap tl=KEY_RIGHTSHIFT,back=KEY_GRAVE,start=KEY_A,y=KEY_Y,x=KEY_0,b=KEY_E,a=KEY_L,rb=KEY_T,lb=KEY_R,rt=KEY_SPACE,lt=KEY_ENTER,du=KEY_G,dd=KEY_M,dl=KEY_F,dr=KEY_B

                                        you listed above can be achieve

                                        Thanks .. its the axis sticks that i am having trouble wrapping my head around. Also there are more controls i'd like to map ... any suggestions for additional mappings (maybe to combination buttons ?)

                                        One question you are using dd,du,dl,dr etc for the dpad ... I thought those were referred to as dpad_x or dpad_y .... or is the naming arbitrary ?

                                          One question you are using dd,du,dl,dr etc for the dpad ... I thought those were referred to as dpad_x or dpad_y .... or is the naming arbitrary ?

                                          You can map them either way. It seems like there's a reason I always map mine as buttons, but I can't remember it now.

                                          any suggestions for additional mappings (maybe to combination buttons ?)

                                          Not off hand. I often get my best ideas on how to improve a control scheme only after testing my initial attempt for a while. Also, you'll sometimes find that an idea you were sure would work doesn't play well at all in practice. One thing I always like to do is bring program functionality in line with RetroArch as closely as possible, so that exiting, save states, screeenshots and resets are always the same in any game I play.
