Hi,
I have a prooblem with RetorArch. When I am playing Dosbox or ScummWM which requires keyboard input Iget no input from keyboard. It is only the mapped keys which are working p for pause for example. I can not write in the dosprompt in dosbox for example. I have mapped the hotkey in retroarch.
I am running retroarch on archlinux with the retroarch-git package. Keyboard input is working in menu and in searchbox in retroarch.
I think for dosbox you can use an autoexec or something to make it automount things at launch just like with standalone, but you can also use the onscreen keyboard overlay. It’s less-than-perfect, IIRC, but if you can help pin down any issues with it (e.g., keys’ hitboxes out of place from their picture, etc.), I’ll try to fix them. I was able to enter commands using a combination of that overlay and my physical keyboard (no hotkey mapped), but dosbox is pretty broken on win64 where i was testing it (it apparently works better in linux, so YMMV), so I didn’t get any farther than that.
