Old xyz2key apps are not RawInput compatible, just like old apps weren't good for directInput when directInput for keyboard was started to be used. FWIW, RawInput is doing most of what directInput was supported to (aka "marketed as") do with
Just wait a little while and (hopefullly) the xyz2key apps will be updated. (The problem with this is AFAIK, mame is the only game or game related app that uses RawInput.)

I have written a program that can inject keys into Mame's RawInput system but it's quite a hack to achieve it. If there wasn't so much controversy about sending keys to Mame I would have released it already. But if anyone remembers the response to my CoinDrop app I don't think it's worth it. If I find a practical use for it and I can hard code it so it can't be used for coin counting then I might consider releasing it.

Headkaze, be sure to announce in the forum if you do release the program cause I'll definitely get some good use out of it.
