Mythgame Feature suggestion

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Firstly I don't know how to make this issue an enhancement. Sorry
Just an idea and if this never got implemented it would detract from this great 
remote.

I was thinking that a setting could be enabled to browse mythgame. A new remote 
like screen could come up with a gameboy layout and through conversion to a 
keyboard output you could play the game with your phone like a wireless 
controller.
Different layouts for different consoles.

I know any console using a joystick probably couldn't be implemented but 
consoles like sega and game boy could be contoled easily via keyboard output.

I know this this would take a lot of time to implement and I know this is very 
low priority but was an idea I thought would be cool.

I was looking into this a bit more, using 
http://semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ as a simulated keyboard you could get 
a controller buttons on the phone sending mdd commands to run the keys. All 
anyone would have to do is set the keys in the emulator itself.

Hi David. Nice idea. Afraid that I won't have time to look into this but I'm 
willing, as always, to help out anyone that does. You should be able to have 
mdd send keypresses directly to the X server using something like 
X11::Protocol, so probably no need for xdotool or similar..
