Getting PC Games To Work In A Cabinet?

Posted by Brad on 2, 2001 at 10:22 AM:

I've got my cabinet set up to the point where I'm hoping to play some PC games on it as well as my emulation, and am having some frustrations about key remapping that I hope someone can help me with.

I'm aware of the ZDKEYMAP program that does remapping through the control panel, but what I'm really interested in is a piece of software that can do a temporary remapping of keys and then launch a game, THEN drop the remapping after I quit the game. Or something close to it. Memory resident is fine, I have 128 megs so there's room to spare.

Most new PC games all HAVE the keyboard option, but I am noticing that they don't let you switch to use the keys you want, which I think is a big mistake. Add in the fact I have a Hotrod SE which is pre-mapped to certain keys and there's the problem.

Anyone using any good remappers or programs that can accomplish this? Thanks for any help!
