MorphGear gives older games a new life.
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 MorphGear’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.
Instructions
- 1
Launch MorphGear. When its interface appears, click on the "Options" icon in the upper left corner and select “Input.” A pop-up in which you can edit MorphGear’s keyboard mapping appears. It varies depending on which MorphModules you have installed, but the general mapping functionality remains the same in every case.

Click on the first button you want to remap in the pop-up. MorphGear highlights the button, making it the focal point of subsequent actions. A dialog box appears. Press the key on your keyboard that you want to associate with this button.

Click “OK” in the confirmation dialog if you're sure you want to associate the key you pressed with the selected button. If you change your mind, click “Cancel” and press a different key. Repeat this process for each button you want to remap.

Click “OK” in the mapping pop-up. MorphGear saves the new mappings and the pop-up disappears. You are now ready to use the new mappings within games. They can be changed at any time, including while a game in running, by opening the mapping pop-up and repeating this process.
