A little bit about qjoypad
For the life of me, I could not get xboxdrv to map to the keyboard keys (mainly I wanted Esc), without enabling the left joystick as a mouse cursor. If any of you know possible where I could have gone wrong, please let me know. In my HTPC project prior, I actually needed that feature. Because of this, qjoypad is bolted on additionally.

Setting up qjoypad
Ubuntu 14.04 seems to have trouble loading the default UI of qjoypad. To get around this, run qjoypad with the “notray option”
qjoypad --notray
This will allow us to have a type of “universal” method for exiting and saving states for most emulators.In some cases, work is ongoing for solutions in other emulators for this control set. This goes without saying for PS1, and PS2 emulators.
Suggested configuration tips and tricks are provided. This section is largest piece that is still a work in progress due to some emulators lacking some hotkeys or configuration file options all together. The default controller layout noted is what to expect for the controls if you use the provided github repository files.
