I have a USB wireless keyboard and mouse as well as two xbox 360 controllers connected to the cubox. The mouse works fine in both dosbox and scummvm but the keyboard doesn’t work at all in scummvm for text input and in dosbox the shortcuts make it impractical to use. Is there any way to use it as a normal keyboard in these cores?
In dosbox, at least, if you go to settings > input > hotkey binds, there’s a “hotkey enable” button that you can map and, once mapped, RetroArch will only listen for its own hotkey shortcuts when that key/button is pressed first. That is, if you bind it to tilde and normally go into the menu with F1, now you have to hold tilde and then press F1 to go into the menu.
Dunno about ScummVM.
