I'm wondering if a wireless keyboard can be used with iMame. When it detects 
the keyboard, it pops up with either iCade or iControlPad support, but not 
keyboard as far as I can tell. Some of the buttons on the keyboard do register, 
but it doesn't seemed to be fully mapped.

No. 

Apple dont provide an api to read key down,up keystrokes... Icade have encoded 
movements as keypreses at firmware level. 

That means... No... You cant use bluetooth keyboard with imame, since to make 
roms payable it is mandatory to know when key is down or up...
