      Is there a way to install and use Pad2Key instead of Joy2Key for a specfic emulator.

      I have been mapping BBC Micro games on Batocera using Pad2Key and would like to get that working on RetroPie.

      Thanks

        Is pad2key a standalone project or something Batocera specific ?

        Note that joy2key in RetroPie is a script included in RetroPie-Setup and not a generic remapping utility like joytokey or joy2key. It is only used for the setup dialogs and not as a remapping utility during emulation.

        Xboxdrv can be used in RetroPie as a general remapping tool, not sure how it compares with the Pad2Key utility used by Batocera.

          Pad2key is really simple to use and great for mapping games which were for keyboard use only to joypad.

            Sure, but it seems something specific to Batocera and not a standalone app than one can take and integrate into an existing setup.
