How to Remap the Keyboard in MorphGear

MorphGear is a multi-platform emulator application originally released for the Pocket PC. Being open-source, it was subsequently ported to the Windows desktop platform. It can emulate several old gaming systems, provided you have legal copies of the games you want to play. Many of MorphGear̵7;s parameters can be adjusted to suit the user, including the way in which the buttons associated with an emulated system are mapped on your keyboard.
