DC adaptor help
« on: April 26, 2004, 04:11:55 pm »
I saw this pick of an adaptor for the dreamcast. It allows a keyboard to be hooked up to the Dreamcast. Does anybody know where I could find one and could I use it with my HotRodSE on my dreamcast? ???

Where to find them?  Check ebay.  Will it work with your hotrodSE, nope, sorry.  You cannot control dreamcast games with the keyboard, you need a controller/pad.

Most GameStops or EBGames near me tend to have these as well.  But unfortunately they're only good for playing 'The Typing of the Dead' or your DC, not for connecting Keyboard encoders.
