I'm new to xpadder and trying to remap F2 key to start button on controller and keyboard remote is rii mini i25

it doesn't have the f2 key

I have never used xpadder myself. I use joy2key though and this is extremely easy to do. Double click on the start button (Button 8 on mine), then hit the F2 key, and hit ok.

edit: oh wait, your keyboard doesn't have an F2 key? Wow... more info is needed. What Atari system are u emulating, and are you using MESS?

[thcdgaf]

which is easier and more efficient

how do I make xpadder image for my control

Ok you managed to post twice and still not give any details. Like I said, I never used xpadder so I can't speak of which is easier... I assume they are both very capable programs. One thing I can say is that if you don't have an F2 key on your keyboard, then you can't map it. Period. You will need to find an emulator that uses a different key or can be configured to use a different key for start. That's why I asked which system/emulator you are using. So far, I have 5 Atari systems setup:

2600 --> MESS

5200 --> kat5200

7800 --> MESS

Jaguar -> Virtual Jaguar

Lynx ---> Handy

None of these use the F2...
