DC Keyboard? I got one as a present, but i don't have a game or some
software for it...Slash

Doom or Linux for DC is a good try...

Another thing that requires a keyboard is SarienDC (it can play old computer games on your Dc, like police quest and kings quest)

Quake for DC also uses the keyboard, but I think only for typing in console commands.

Also Quake III Arena, but you would probably need a mouse for it as well.

I also highly recommend The Typing Of The Dead, if you don't know it is exactly the same game as house Of The Dead 2, but each zombie has a slogan written in front of it which you have to type in before it attacks you. I only have the demo of it that was on the Planet Web browser disc as Sega Europe decided not to release it over here

I still cannot belive that it came out in the arcades though.

I just use my keyboard for PSO and the PlanetWeb browser mostly... that reminds me does anyone know where I can buy the small (compact laptop like) dreamcast keyboard? i've seen them around but i can't find them anywhere.

TheAxeMan, are you talking about the Asian dreamcast keyboards? I have seen Japanese DC keyboards and they have all been laptop-sized, which is very cool but I haven't seen a British or a US dreamcast keyboard which is the smaller size.
If anyone knows where to get these little keyboards, I would appreciate it as well

would typing of the dead be okay even if you can't type? <lower head in shame>

i shouldn't even be bothering, i've never seen it in the store for sale.

typeing of the dead is meant to be a gory typeing tutor

you can download the pc demo at fileplanet (yeah, fileplanet...ugh it's where i got it) it even tells you what keys your bad at (the pc version at least)

bah, i don't play computer games. :P shitty computer, i prefer consoles anyway. since it is indeed hard to find an original dreamcast keyboard, where can i buy this adapter?

thanks.

I have a "dreamconnector 3-in-1" adapter which allows PC keyboards, saturn pads, Dualshocks (any type), steering wheels and dance mats to be connected to the DC.
The totalcontrol adapter does the same, but appears to be of a better quality (take a look at lik-sang.com if you need an adaptor).

Right, if anyone knows where I can buy a small-sized keyboard I would appreciate it very much (I don't care if it's a japanese keyboard-- as long as it will work).

If you go to http://www.maplin.co.uk and search for product# VL76H you should find one, but it is very expensive though (?50), you should surely be able to get a cheaper one

By the way, I like your new avatar

Thank you I@N, that's the exact type of keyboard I am after though I think ?50 is too much for what it is really. I could take the ?50, go out and buy a full-size RF wireless keyboard... hmm..

I shall have to go annoy some computer shops to see if they have any mini keyboards in stock because I do really want one
