Joystick or IR control?

Hi guys - Apologies if this has been asked before... But i LOVE BURG and it's just the ticket for my HTPC Intel i5 NUC however not being able to select between the boot options with anything other than a keyboard is a real limitation to what im trying to use it for :( Is there any way in HELL that i can get at a push IR control (NUC has a built in commerical IR reciever) or my USB joystick that i have attached working to simply cycle left\right and enter a selection... If anyones got ANY suggestions im all ears... I'm not expecting much from this question as im sure the answers would be more readily available if it was going to be easy! But if anyone can help... That would be grand! PS. Kudos on the awesome Bootloader! Cheers. Oliver.
