How is the mapping of PC keyboard to the emulator?

  K-rnivoro

   Due to a non-functional keyboard, my question is: How I know how PC keys
   are mapped to C64 keys? I'm use to VICE emulator with Symbolic and
   Positional layouts, but I do not know about the emulator the "THE C64"
   uses.

   This is likely based on what emulator they are using. If it is a version
   of VICE then the keyboard layout would be according to how VICE is set up.

   There is no official statement about which emulator is being used but I
   would lean on VICE being on the short-list due to certain features that
   has been indicated is in VICE but some of the other C64 emulators do not
   have. It is possible that it is VICE with a custom front-end. Of course
   the front end can set things up in a manner that makes access to certain
   features more cumbersome. There is a little difference in the emulator's
   internal menu system between versions on different platforms but they all
   should all have access to such configurations.

   In my opinion, I lean on VICE being one of the likely possible emulators.
   I am not so sure about other C64 emulators.

   Please see the official announcement for details on using USB keyboards
   and how they are mapped. :-)
