#BATCH SCRIPT TO REMAP KEYBOARD KEYS WINDOWS#

As someone who started out with computers back in the days before games really went to Windows, I've always just preferred it this way and up until now I haven't really run into anything that couldn't be either pretty universal or changed on the fly as needed in a simple batch file.

I generally set each game that I can only get to sound decent via MT-32 emulation (I have the S-YXG50 synthesizer installed, so for the most part just about everything I can get to run through General MIDI sounds best that way to me) to switch on the fly, and when the game is done, it just switches back to the standard Windows MIDI mapping in case I run another game that's best that way. I like to keep things set somewhat on a universal basis and just change a few basics as needed via batch files (for instance, if I want to switch from using MIDI via the Windows MIDI mapper to MT-32 emulation, I use the config -set command to change the settings relevant to this via a batch file. Eg, I type 'dosbox' and I'm presented with a C prompt after everything finishes starting up and then I run games as I would on a DOS machine without ever double clicking on anything or whatever. I realize of course that you can change the configuration file in the nf file, but I like to run DOSBox kind of like an emulated system rather than on an individual game basis. Is there any way to change these on the fly at all? For instance, I want to remap my joystick to keyboard controls for Zeliard as I don't like its default controls at all (in particular, I really want to map one of the buttons to the up arrow so the jump feels more natural and is less hard to actually do while moving.)
