This DP article says X-Arcade sells adapters for the unit.

On their webpage they have pictures of the console adapters, which they sell.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking because this seems really easy to find.

I dont' it's possible because the keyboard assignments for the Hotrod are hard wired. Like button one is 'left control', up is 'W', etc. you would need the software program to be able to recognize and reprogram itself to accept the Hotrod's buttons. Mame does a good job of that but other emulators don't.

The Hotrod is also has a ps2 (keyboard) connector so you would have to get a console to PC ps2 adapter. I know they make them for the Dreamcast to use PC keyboards but I'm not sure about the newer systems. But again I don't think it would work unless the game knew there was a Hotrod attached and set itself up to accept the inputs.
