    Hey all just a quesstion, would it be possible to create a patcher disk for the dreamcast to, say, map any keypress in the game you put in after the patcher to a controller button? Personally for me, I use OTOIRE with my MIDI adapter to make music and navigating through the menus / quick play-pausing would be less tedious on a keyboard. If it's possible, I might ask one of my friends fluent in C take a whack at it for me. Thanks!

    unless you can make a keypress equivalent to a button press on a controller i'd imagine it'd be a little more complicated because you'd have to know the memory addresses for the thing you're trying to map. but i'd really like to play pso or other online stuff with keyboard. WASD = up\down\left\right analog movement, directional keys = ABXY, etc

    you could play alien front online on a monitor with keyboard + mic\headset, i'd find that pretty awesome
