Homebrew Retroarch Wii and Keyboard

[fbbraganca]

Hello there

I'm trying to use my usb keyboard with Retroarch Wii latest build so I can play MSX and other keyboard based games.
It does work with other emulators and applications, but with retroarch it doesn't even light up.

Is there a way to make it work?

No way.
A lot of cores have a virtual keyboard or some kind of keyboard to buttons remapping.
Never tried this one so I don't know if it's possible fo the Wii.

Would be nice to have but I don't see many people involved in Wii coding for retroarch.

Irrelevant but does a usb gamepad works?

Some of them. I've fixed this stuff last year, don't know if it's still working. Apparently, someone added "HORI mini wired ps4" recently : https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/11280
