      Hey I have an 8 button SNES controler but what if I wanted to play a PSX game that requires the R2 and L2 buttons? OR if I wanted to play a N64 game.

      Is there a way to create key combinations that act as those other buttons? Like a extra buttons hotkey?

      Thanks!

          @voljega seems like something that could be possible with button combinations. Like if if I press Y and B together it could act as R2.

            Who does that? Please, just get a proper controller! Nobody tries to play SNES with a NES pad!

              @Christopher-'Dange'-Hornak and how could you then press the same two buttons at once in a standard game ? (Sf2 on snes for example)

              Anyway games aren't designed to be played like that and it's really a bad idea, esoecially given the low cost of controllers

                  You can't, that's all. And there won't be any investigation on making pointless developments for some probably impossible key combos in various emulators

                    Just use a PS3 Controller. Sixasis or Dualshock 3 work like a charm.
