I am not 100% sure, but it might be (almost) impossible with some games. Many
games will not use DOS or BIOS services, to read the keyboard, but rather talk
directly to the keyboard processor. DOS/BIOS functions don't give as much
functionality, as some games need (for example knowing exactly when a key was
hit, released, perhaps some "accords", that are not available during BIOS
functions, etc.).
