Using angled joysticks

On my quad panel, the outside P3 and P4 joysticks are at 45 degrees.  For P1 and P2 I purchased 2 49 ways and GPWiz's.  Is there or will there be a way to offset the 49 ways by 45 degrees so that the diagonals are UDLR and UDLR are switch to the diagonals, allowing 2 players to play games such as Smash TV that use 2 joysticks for control? 

Thanks.

You could re-map the joystick inputs through the tab menu in MAME.  This will work with any version of MAME, not just PowerMAME.

Yes, PowerMAME supports all the GPWiz49 mode.  You can go into the input menu in PowerMAME and simply choose the diagonal mode.

trog_4269:
Thanks for the response.  I didn't realize that was a standard feature in mame.  I though the diagonal setting for the GPwiz was 4 way, not 8 way.

Would it be possible to have this diagonal setting automagically work via in ini file if I specified what games I would like it to work for?

MikeQ:
Yes, it is only 4 way.  I misunderstood.  I thought you only wanted 4 way diagonal.  So you want all modes supported but rotated 45 degrees. right? 

That wouldn't be possible.  PowerMAME can only do what the gpwiz supports.
