The problem is that you're emulating something that expects to have a
keyboard and joysticks. In many games, you need to use both, so having
a joystick that sends key clicks doesn't help you, unless you can change
the keys that it sends to be ones that didn't exist on the Atari.
I suppose it might be possible to remap the keys with using some of
the /dev/input tools. Perhaps I'll hook up a real USB keyboard and see
if I can get the remapping to work.
