New to the forums and was wondering if I could get some help on a question that's been nagging at me for some time. This isn't an emulation question per se but I figured this might be a good place to ask!
I've wanted to hook my Sega Dreamcast keyboard up to my PC for awhile now. I think it would look really cool and make a nice conversation piece, as long as it's functional as a PC keyboard.
From what I gather building a Mable Bus (the format used in the DC keyboard plug) to USB converter isn't easy, nor can I find one available to buy. Then I came across a mention of using a Magic Box. These are normally used to connect console controllers to PC for emulation play. I wonder if anyone knows if a DC keyboard would become a functional USB keyboard when used with a Magic Box. Or if anybody had any other ideas on how to make this work?
