I have a question and not sure where to even ask this.

So..i will start off saying im no tech wiz, i can pick stuff up quickly put i dont know what im really doing. im going to jump to the point. so i have a game controller that comes with a paddle pack. unfortunately through the controller you can only program the paddles to do a choice from the other standard buttons. I am wondering if there is a way to write in a code to bind, say the "A" button to one of the the directions on the direction pad and keep the paddle programed as as "A".
