editing controls for 2 players with 1 keyboard (to use X-Arcade Tankstick)

[Cromulent]

Hello! It appears you can do local multiplayer with this game, but I can't seem to figure out how to edit the controls for player 2. I want to set this up with my x-arcade Tankstick which presents itself to the OS as a keyboard and mouse, so I'd need both players to be controlled with different keys on the same keyboard. Does anyone know how to do this?

Here is the stick in question: http://www.xgaming.com/store/arcade-joysticks-and-game-controllers/product/x-arcade-tankstick-includes-usb-cables/

Here are the default controls: http://www.xgaming.com/service/images/Layouts/PC-MAC.htm

In case it is easier to just see the controls in text, I have transcribed them here. Note: the side buttons are not easy to use while playing with regular controls. Also, since the trackball does the mouse pointer, it would be cool to control the camera with the mouse.

Player 1
Start: D1
UP: NumPad8
Down: NumPad2
Left: NumPad4
Right: NumPad6
Button 1: LeftControl
Button 2: LeftAlt
Button 3: Space
Button 4: LeftShift
Button 5: z
Button 6: x
Button 7: c
Button 8: D5
SideButton 1: D3
SideButton 2: Left Mouse Click
(Side Buttons are on the side of the base, like pinball machine buttons)

Player 2
Start: D2
UP: r
Down: f
Left: d
Right: g
Button 1: a
Button 2: s
Button 3: q
Button 4: w
Button 5: e
Button 6: [
Button 7: ]
Button 8: 6
SideButton 1: D4
SideButton 2: Right Mouse Click
(Side Buttons are on the side of the base, like pinball machine buttons)

Trackball in middle: Controls mouse pointer position

You'll have to make your stick work as a game controller.
You can try to configure it in Steam's Big Picture and the settings will port over to the game.

It works fine for one player, but I don't see how to map the controls for the second player. What I need to do is to find some way to fool Windows into taking keyboard input and emulating two separate controllers from the keyboard presses. Either that, or I need a way to map keyboard presses from one keyboard into the controls for two different players.

Then, I can have 2 players playing co-op on the game in my MAME cabinet setup. It would be amazing.

ooh, I found something called VJoy Virtual Joystick. I'm giving it a try.
