Unless I am missing something, I don't think this is an issue. Vas Crabb added a feature in emu/natkeyboard.cpp to allow keyboard devices to be enabled/disabled in MAME 0.226. To enable the keyboard for this machine, do the following: 1. Start acrnsys5 machine in MAME 2. Enable MAME UI by pressing Scroll/Lock key 3. Press TAB to bring up UI 4. Select 'Keyboard Mode' from menu 5. Change 'Generic Keyboard' from Disabled to Enabled When you exit MAME and then relaunch acrnsys5, the keyboard should then always default to Enabled |

It does seem odd that it should default to OFF, however. I'll ask for direction here and see if perhaps the default state needs changing or explain why it is disabled by default. |

The issue is that the root system has a 1-key “keyboard” for the Break key, so MAME disables the second keyboard (the real keyboard) by default. You can fix it – in src/mame/drivers/arcrsys.cpp, change line 316 to: PORT_BIT(0x01, IP_ACTIVE_LOW, IPT_OTHER) PORT_NAME("BREAK") PORT_CODE(KEYCODE_F12) PORT_CHANGED_MEMBER(DEVICE_SELF, acrnsys_state, trigger_reset, 0)
(i.e. change it from IPT_KEYBOARD to IPT_OTHER, and remove the PORT_CHAR)When the HLE keyboard is replaced, it will all have to change anyway. |
