      Hi there. Hopefully this is an easy question. I have my Atari 5200 running quite nicely (lr-atari800), but when I need to change a game setting using the * button on my keyboard, it works just fine with a regular big USB keyboard. But, when I use my handy little Rii bluetooth keyboard, there is no dedicated * button. Shift+8 does not work. Any way of using/remapping another key on my Rii keyboard to emulate the * button, or am I stuck with having to use my big keyboard?

        Hi. It’s been about a week I thought I would bump this once for an answer.

          @jthomas5150 If you press F4 in emulationstation then you can quickly find out how your keyboard is configured (by trial and error). For example on my big keyboard almost none of the symbols on my keyboard coincide with the symbols that appear on my tv screen when I press them.
