used to check keycodes

Keyboard letter keys has another codes rather described in SDL_keysym.h
for example
        SDLK_a                  = 97,
        SDLK_b                  = 98,
        SDLK_c                  = 99,
        SDLK_d                  = 100,
        SDLK_e                  = 101,
        SDLK_f                  = 102,

real codes:
a 160
b 170
c 168
d 162
e 173
f 163

as result SDL applications didn't react when i'm press any letter key.

application i'm tried: mupen64plus, exult

Your keyboard is generating the SDL "world" keys, which are used on certain international keyboards.  Programs which are written to use specific keys should either check the unicode input for specific characters (for text input), or allow controls to be rebound.

SDL 1.3 has an improved mechanism for specifying positional scancodes separately from layout keycodes to address exactly this problem.
