Dreamcast Keyboard & Mouse Support

Post by **racketboy** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 10:50 pm

I just did a little writeup about the Dreamcast Keyboard and Mouse, but I'm still a bit uneducated on some of the game support (see bottom part of the article)

Does anybody have any further experience with this?

Starlancer supports the keyboard eh? I'll have to try it sometime, I have a Dreamcast keyboard that sits around and just collects dust (literally...it really is a pain to clean off every week...).

i played the evangelion typing game years ago. it's good if you're learning japanese, but i think you have to at least be able to read hiragana/katakana (phonetic characters) to not fumble aimlessly

Sounds like great practice for learning your kana. Kanji, on the other hand...simple RPGs are great for practice (provided you have a fairly comprehensive kanji dictionary handy while you play).

What game is that? I might be interested in trying it out. I don't suppose your selling it?
