Key2Joy is a Keyboard to Joystick Emulation program. I read about it at the following link: http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/encoder/ppjoy/Gamepad%20Emulator%20why%20not.htm

Its a program written by cobelli to convert keyboard input to joystick input.  Cobelli posted a link to it at his website http://hostfreedom.com/key2joy.zip but the link is broken now.

this url still works - download is at bottom of page.  This may be an old version though.

It's just a for people who are searching for a "key2joy" solution. Most people are unaware of it because it was only released a few weeks ago.

Cut him some slack.  It's not a noob asking what's the best joystick or something that's been beat to death.  It's headkaze who is one of the top software contributors.   :applaud:
