As the emulator detects automatically all your compatible DirectX devices, including for example a joypad with 8 buttons or more, you can also assign buttons of your joypad to shortcuts of some features. blueMSX comes with the default blueMSX hotkeys configuration (with only use of the keyboard). In the editor you can choose between different hotkeys configurations, modify the existing mapping schemes or create new ones.  The machine editor dialog contains three parts. At the top is a dropdown list with all current configurations. All configurations are stored in the Shortcut Profiles subdirectory of the emulator.

You must confirm your choice by clicking on "Assign" The bottom part contains three buttons :
