here's what my dilemma [if you can really call it that!]:
I'm looking for a program that will
-display my gamepad button presses
-that can run in the background while I running emulators over top of it
-is skinnable for various systems emulated [SNES pad for SNES, GB buttons for GB, etc.]
I'm mainly wanting to use it for "Let's play.." videos for YouTube so I can show viewers what I'm pressing to achieve my results [Kind of like the "Windows Game Controller" Diag tool.
I have no idea what keywords to look for on Google, or if such a program exists! Any help is appreciated!
Only way I can think of is maybe duel monitors and capturing either windows diag or possibly a custom rom of some sort on another screen then do a bit of video editing

You can activate "input display" in SNES9x. Maybe other emulators can, too.
Another way:
- record your button presses as an "emulator movie" file
- open it in TAS Movie Editor
- select "export to subtitles"
- optional: edit subtitles in Aegisub
- use AviSynth to render the subtitles onto the video file (via VSFilter_TextSub)

and I'll DEF check out the "Input display" on 9X for sure!
