Hi Dave,

I have an infrared controlpanel (made of an old tv-remote control) I want to play mame from. The receiver of this remote control hooks up to the serial port.
From the serial port windows receives keycodes.
Now how do I make mame react to those keycodes (i.e. pushing the "volume louder" button on my remote control -> make a jump in Crazy Kong).
I assume the only way is to redirect the received keycode to the keyboard queue so mame32 thinks I pushed a button on my ps2 keyboard.

So the question is how do I access mame32's input queue (mame32 expects directx keyboard commands).

Tom
