* the remote control presents itself as ID_INPUT_KEY, not
ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD. However, ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD is a subset of
ID_INPUT_KEY.
* the remote control lacks the backspace and enter keys, which are hard
coded in RetroArch. It has "back" and "ok" instead, so map those to
RETROK_BACKSPACE and RETROK_ENTER as well.
Remote controls also have no ESC key, but that one is customizable
and I used the Power key of the remote (which already has a mapping
to RETROK_POWER).
The functionality provided is really the bare minimum, but it is enough
to teach a kid "press the power button here to watch TV"; compared to
pressing L1+R1+START+SELECT and navigating to the RetroArch's "quit"
menu item, that hopefully has more chances of success.
