Hi all,

   Could someone explain me how to map the keyboard (hacked) to the controls.
   I mean , I'm planning to have 2 joysticks and six button per joystick so basically I want the mapping that I've to do , something like

   Joystick 1 -UP Movement -> Up Arrow
   Joystick 1 -Diagonal up-right movement -> ???    
   and so on.

Thansk all!

Diagonals are a combination of keypresses so pressing up and right = up right diagonal.

that means that I've to wire both key to the same contact in the joystick?

No, when you push up on a j-stick, it closes the UP contact.

When you push right on a j-stick, it closes the RIGHT contact.

when you push UP AND RIGHT on a j-stick, it closes the UP and RIGHT contact.

Or to put it another way, an eight-way stick only has four switches. Diagonals are when two switches are pressed at once.
