All of those will work because you can assign any key to any input. But it is any KEY rather than any character as its a keyboard device. So for example $ and 4 are both the same KEY.

I was planning on a couple, but I was thinking I would still be one key short.  ohh well, not the end of the world, just not ideal.  I think my other option is to double up P1 buttons 5, 6, 7 with P3 2, 3, 4, and same for P2 and P4, as the 5, 6, 7 buttons would not be used anyway on any 4 player games.  although then it would be up to P1 & P2, to not be an ass and screw up P3 and P4.

I am not fully clear on what you need to do. There are approx 100 different keys available for selection, is this not sufficient?

billf1:

My keyboard isn't full-size, so I do not have 100 keys that I can press, I can scrounge up an old keyboard though, not a big deal.  Or I should be fine if I use function keys, but several are programmed to other emulators I use and cannot be changed, so I was trying to avoid them, but I guess I could use them for P3 and P4, as they wont be used for other emu's anyway.

AndyWarne:

I was going to suggest using the Windows on-screen keyboard but I tried this and MS seem to have removed all the function and num keypad keys from this.

But there are probably other third-party on-screen keyboards out there which have all keys available.
