MSX map F1 and F2 keys to SNES controller
-
Dear all,
I bought a raspberry pi 3 B to be able to play my all time favorite game for MSX (The Maze Of Galious).
The unit came preinstalled with retropie 3.7 and a USB SNES controller.My favorite game uses the F1 and F2 keys.
I would like to map those keys to the Left bottom (L) and Right bottom (R) buttons.Is that possible?
How do I do this?Thank you very very much !
Kris.

Nobody knows how to do this?

Surprisingly, this is not something that comes up often. There are quite a few emulators that don't have native controller support and rely primarily on the keyboard. I don't run any of the MSX emulators on RetroPie, but I assume this is the problem. Even if RetroArch allowed core remapping for MSX, I doubt it would allow f-key mapping to controllers.
If you really want to achieve this, you'll need to familiarize yourself with a keymapping program. This technique is completely off the beaten path, but has been achieved in RetroPie by others. Below is the link to a guide that explains the process as it relates to KODI. You'll need to adapt that information to the keyboard controls you wish to map for MSX.

I'm currently working in this direction with a few emulators in my own setup, so if you have any further questions, I may be able to help.
