Am needing advice. I googled PSP keyboard and found some YouTube videos of the Targus Universal Wireless Keyboard:

The users say they are using Pikey (noobz.eu). What am wondering if, whether I can use DOSBox or Bochs emulator with Targus keyboard? Is it possible? Has anyone tried using the Targus keyboard with DOSBox?

Luckily amazon Targus seller sold out and I never got my keyboard.

I like an update on the Targus keyboard support for DOSBox &/or Bochs.

Does it work better now for DOSBox?

And how easy was it to put in Targus support for DOSBox... can it be done for bochs too?

It's a murky & messy area, & I'm not certain about this,
but..

I believe that DosBox 'stdin' is 'hardwired' to the
p-sprint system and this is driven by the PSP buttons.

Input from the PSP buttons can be mapped to specific characters.

Pikey definitley supports the Targus,so it can be used,by mapping
each of the PSP controls to a Targus key.

What this means is that the Targus works,but effectively
has only has 10 working character keys,enough to control games but
impactical for text editors etc.
