Is there a master list for all dreamcast games that include keyboard support? Also are there any emulators that support them yet?
I bought the Madcatz PC keyboard adapter today hoping to use it to play the original Castle Wolfenstein on the Atari 800 emulator, only the keyboard doesn't appear to be supported. It also looks like none of the other games in my collection support the keyboard either.

The Atari 800 does support the keyboard. Maybe you're using an older version?
Other than that the only other ones I can think of are Typing of the Dead and Phantasy Star Online. There may be more but I really don't know...

Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Outtrigger (?) let you use it for controls.

I wouldn't recommend using a mouse, and keyboard on Unreal Tournament on DC though, it disables the auto-aim, and you will get your azz stomped.
Mouse, and keyboard works like a charm on Quake 3 DC though.

That would be Typing of the Dead. Funniest game ever.

Also PSO can use keyboard mainly for convience. I'm surprised no one else mentioned this as many people here have used PSO for DC.

No, NE146 mentioned it in the very first reply to the thread! :)
Or else I would have.
But, it's really the only DC game, besides typing of the dead which was also already mentioned, that I've personally used a keyboard for.

Ok. Second question: Is there any compatibility problems between the PC keyboard adapter, and the actual DC keyboard? I bought the adapter because I didn't feel like storing an a keyboard, however I still can't get it working on the atari emulator. Any thoughts?

I, too, have the DC controller adapters (man, do I love 'em!). Don't know about the emulators, but keyboards plugged into the controller adapters work like a charm for Typing of the Dead.
