Still the best free keyboard and mouse mapping tool
It may have discontinued, but I'd still say this is still the best compared to it's alternatives.

The best keyboard emu! special for arcade cabinets and hyperspin.
Used to use Xpadder when they were free. Went looking for it again and it's no longer freeware. This works great, and has just as many features as Xpadder.
I have a few wireless Xbox 360 controllers, a Wii classic pro controller (with Mayflash USB adapter), and a cheap USB NES controller. AntiMicro works with all of them, and lets me map things however I want. The only problem I ran into was with the cheap USB NES controller. It doesn't seem to recognize the D-pad, but you can map it as the left stick, and use quick set to set each arrow as WASD. Then it seems to work fine. Or you could probably just set the controller back to default and map each numbered button inputs (which includes the d-pad). AntiMicro works well, it's pretty easy to learn, and it's both open source and free. It also has both portable and installer versions for Windows (I'm using the installer btw). What more can you ask for? Thank you devs for making this!

For some reason I wasn't able to download the program through the provided link.
So I searched on google (hoping to find a trust worthy download so I don't get any viruses) for it, and it works great.
The program contains many features and is really simple to use, couldn't be any happier with it!
