Cute little laptop..
Yeah, I really like my Japanese laptop "Panasonic Let'snote J10" especially its keyboard
The key pitch of my laptop is 17-18mm which is smaller than the the industry standard (19mm).
As you see the picture above there are three extra keys beside the space bar:
US keyboard (us): [pointlessly long space bar (wtf?)]
Japanese (jp106): [Muhenkan] [space bar] [Henkan] [Kana]
And here's my xmodmap
Code:
!Swap CapsLock & Control_L
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L
!Muhenkan as Alt_L Meta_L
keycode 102 = Alt_L Meta_L
!Henkan as Escape
keycode 100 = Escape
!Ctrl_R as Composition Key
keycode 105 = Multi_key
that makes the key map
[Muhenkan -> Alt] [space bar] [Henkan -> Esc][Kana]
and allows me to press [Alt] and [Esc] with my thumbs
effortlessly. I can't believe that most Vim users press [Esc] with a little finger... I am so lazy that I chose Peppermint

Well, the straightforward answer is that
you can't run Peppermint on Dramcast whose CPU is called SuperH SH3el. Peppermint only supports x86 and AMD64 CPUs.[1] But perhaps
NetBSD can help.
Windows CEWhen I was in Japan I saw Japanese geeks installing Windows CE on their Dreamcast (and I found it hilarious) but it's not realistic to have Windows CE in 2014 for the very reason...
LinuxGentoo team has mentioned their Dramcast support in 2006[2] but I'm not positive if they still work on it.
NetBSDThe latest version of NetBSD (v6.1.2) still supports Dreamcast.[3][4]

If so, you should send this to Sega

Thanks for your comment and sorry for delay responding. I'm still investigating my speaker issue and will keep you updated.
