A certain PC-98 requires Joystick, but I don't have any. What should I do?

Question

I can run a PC-98 game and it runs well. For example, Quarth (Konami) works well.

However, it looks like the game requires using Joystick, but I don't have any.

In the Neko II project, I was simulating Joystick with Keyboard to play the game on the Neko II.

Is there a similar way to mimic Joystick with Keyboard in dosbox-x?

I quickly read about the mapper (https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/), but all examples showed when I attached a Joystick and used the Keyboard event. Without attaching Joystick, how can I get the Joystick event to a specific Keyboard's key?

Have you checked that no similar question(s) exist?

It turns out the Game uses the number key. I mapped the number key to the cursor key, and the issue is gone.

Closing.
