Hi,

@Addison:
I tested with the keyboard you showed in your post and the Insert and Delete keys have the same non-effect, so I have to look into the code a bit more on that. I also want to avoid stopping MCE, so I am not using any hardware keys that are used by Telescope (I guess some people may have other hardware keys stole for system functions?)

I'm attaching the version I compiled for anyone who wants to try it out. Install the atari800 package that already available for Diablo (in another thread by tobiasj) first. Copy the atari.bin to the /usr/games/ directory overwriting the original (I made a backup of it first myself).

In that zip file is also the keyboard I'm using. You can see there is very few keys on it, just what you can't produce with the N810 keyboard easily (sorry those with N800s will have to use a more full-featured xkbd!) I also edited the atari800 launch script in /usr/games a bit too...

I added a line to launch my keyboard, and to run the emulator with a larger window by default (you can always go to full screen by pressing the full screen hardware key.)

exec xkbd -k /usr/share/xkbd/atari800.text.xkbd &
exec ${0}.bin -windowed -stretch 1.9 -bpp 16 "$@"


Here's some screenshots as well (taking a screenshot kills the emulator speed!)
