What is AntiMicro?
antimicro is a graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad. This program is useful for playing PC games using a gamepad that do not have any form of built-in gamepad support. However, you can use this program to control any desktop application with a gamepad; on Linux, this means that your system has to be running an X environment in order to run this program.
This program is currently supported under various Linux distributions, Windows (Vista and later), and FreeBSD. At the time of writing this, antimicro works in Windows XP but, since Windows XP is no longer supported, running the program in Windows XP will not be officially supported. However, efforts will be made to not intentionally break compatibility with Windows XP.
Also, FreeBSD support will be minimal for now. I don't use BSD on a daily basis so the main support for FreeBSD is being offered by Anton. He has graciously made a port of antimicro for FreeBSD that you can find at the following URL: http://www.freshports.org/x11/antimicro/.

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.
It is discontinued, but there is alive fork:

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!
