Keystroke converter?

[spongebue]

Hello,

On my cabinet, I am using 2 gamepads that go to Joy2Key to convert gamepad signals as keyboard signals.  The problem is, I am kinda running out of places to wire buttons to, so I cannot use another spot on my gamepad.  Is there any (free) program out there that lets me use 2 button combinations, say 2+1 that would simulate pressing escape?  I have seen Keystroke Converter, but that is a for-pay program, and I am trying to make this whole thing as cheap as possible.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
spongebue

Auto Hot Key.... you'll have to write the script yourself though.

thanks, but I'm having trouble writing the script.  Could someone help me write a script (or 2) that would do the following?  Please?

1. convert 2+1 to be escape
2. convert up+2+1 to be alt+F4

Thanks,

Anyone?  Please?  I'll make my signature say "(whoever does it) is my hero" for a week, or when I remember to change it... whichever comes first 



Seriously, I will, lol

I don't know if it will do exactly what you are asking, but RBJoy does offer a "shift" function.

If my memory serves me, you can define one of your buttons to be the "shift" button and when pressed, whichever buttons you enable the feature on will put out the key you assigned to it.

Might be worth a shot.

check out ahk's extensive help file.... it has examples of timers and the "send key" function as well as how to poll the joystick.  combine the three and you are good to go.
