Oh, big thanks for chiming in! Sad to hear about the constant keyboard layout changes but this makes me even more confident that the jumpers I found could be responsible for changing the layout. If in fact the layout changes for you based on games, etc. It would indicate to me that the keys are _not_ physically remapped in any way and instead the keyboard is only reporting to the Dreamcast: "hey, I'm French yo, thanks!".247 wrote:I have bought a french keyboard too, seller didn't know it was french or so he said back then...
The keyboard is a really hit and miss, on european games i have the azerty layout, on usa ones i have the qwerty one, and this is very tedious, more than that, the azerty layout is a real pain (guess french can say the same about qwerty xD ). Lots of times is even a pain to look for symbols because they change from eu to jap to usa and i can never remember where are they (and they are often needed in italian)
Other than that i can say at last it still works better than a pad to write and at least it do the job online...
I'll post some pictures soon. And perhaps even try it out in the evening, if it works it's a really simple fix (but requires soldering) and you could basically swap your keyboard layout between US/German/Italian/Spanish/French, even install a switch if you're fancy .
