Tankstick, map 2nd player buttons to BigBox functions

[Jay Klehr]

It would be nice if it were possible to specify a 2nd Player's controls to the big box functions on a tankstick (which sends keyboard keys for button/joystick presses). Right now, it seems only possible to configure one joystick to do up/down, select, etc... and the other joystick doesn't do anything (and doesn't seem possible to change it to map to the same functions).

With default tankstick mappings, this does result in bigbox exiting (or going windowed, I forget exactly off-hand) by pressing down on the 2nd player joystick since it seems to be mapped to something that bigbox uses internally.

I've seen in other front-ends that they provide a second mapping for the same functions for this purpose.

FYI I was able to work around this by remapping the player 2 keys to match player 1 within BigBox using AutoHotKey and the #IfWinActive directive: https://autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Remap.htm

Good workaround, but, would be nice to have a built in function like hyperspin that's enables player 2 controls of bb.
