Here is an example of a navjoy.xml file configured to use MPlayer for video playback, Mednafen for emulation and launch the games "Secret Maryo Chronicles", "rRootage" and "Noiz2sa". All these external programs have been configured to be controllable with only the joystick.

&lt;navjoy&gt;

  &lt;bookmark path="/home/joe" label="HOME"/&gt;
  &lt;bookmark path="/home/joe/videos" label="Videos"/&gt;
  &lt;bookmark path="/home/joe/roms" label="ROMs"/&gt;
  &lt;bookmark path="/mnt/cdrom" label="DVD-ROM"/&gt;

  &lt;group label="Games"&gt;

    &lt;application cmd="smc" label="Secret Maryo Chronicles"/&gt;
    &lt;application cmd="rrootage -fullscreen" label="rRootage"/&gt;
    &lt;application cmd="noiz2sa" label="Noiz2sa"/&gt;

  &lt;/group&gt;

  &lt;group label="Applications"&gt;

    &lt;application cmd="mplayer -fs" label="MPlayer" browse="true"&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;avi&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;mpg&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;mpeg&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;ogm&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;mov&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;wmv&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;rm&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;mp4&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;asf&lt;/ext&gt;
    &lt;/application&gt;

    &lt;application cmd="mednafen" label="Mednafen" browse="true"&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;pce&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;nes&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;gb&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;gbc&lt;/ext&gt;
      &lt;ext&gt;zip&lt;/ext&gt;
    &lt;/application&gt;

  &lt;/group&gt;

  &lt;mapping cmd="ACTION" button="0" /&gt;
  &lt;mapping cmd="CANCEL" button="1" /&gt;
  &lt;mapping cmd="PAGE_UP" button="6" /&gt;
  &lt;mapping cmd="PAGE_DOWN" button="7" /&gt;
