Can you use a USB keyboard whith Commodore 64 games or do you have to relie on an on screen keyboard .

Actually I haven't tried but I haven't heard of anyone that uses that function if it exists so I would guess it doesn't work. Although for the three games that I have there's none that uses the keyboard that much (IK doesn't even support it for high-score naming).

None of the C64 games currently on the Wii allow you to use a USB keyboard for typing; only the on-screen keyboard. Many C64 games have actually been modified from their original version to only work with the joystick - you can no longer redefine keys, choose joysticks, or exit to C64 BASIC.

While I'd like to see USB keyboard support for C64 games in the future, the games that are currently available have very limited keyboard use. You might also be able to 'break out' of programs using C64 key combinations if the USB keyboard was available ;)

Well thanks for the answer anyway but im guessing that the term “Break Out” is involved with hacking the games code or something as i have heard of thinks like .
