Ok, so here's what you do to make Vectoroids lots of (loud) retro-gaming fun:

Start up your Debian chroot, and enter the following (you could make a script if you find it to be as much fun as I do)

Code:
xmodmap -e "keysym F4 = space"
hilda /usr/games/vectoroids -f
xmodmap -e "keycode 70 = F4"
The important keys (after this mapping) are:
DPad up: thrusters
DPad left & right: rotate counter & clockwise
Menu key: fire gun

(note that this game seems to have been ported already, oh well. I'm going to chalk this one up as "I've figured out how to remap the keys on an application-specific basis...)
