Using a keyboard with Retropie
-
Hi,
I need to use some games or other MSDOS programs with a real keyboard, not a gamepad emulation, and I've not found how to do that with retropie.Is it possible?
PI 3B+

@Martial83 Should be feasible by connecting a USB keyboard directly in the PI... now, libretro based emulators I know that you need to do some special selection in the 'controls' menu so some keys are not mapped as joystick. Here's one of some of the posts that explain this:
This is for a cpc emulator but it is valid for most of those needing keyboards (such as msdos, msx, spectrum and many more..)
Just in case, make sure the keyboard runs properly on your PI by trying to type in a terminal!

Thanks a lot.
I'll try that as soon as possible -

On a quick test, it looks good.
Now I have to go into the details.
A big thank-you
