Well he was saying that "It can't be a shortcut for sure." Anyway I still can't figure out how to type exit when I quit Arena.

Ok so everything works now except jump. To jump forward you have to press Shift+J. How do I bind two keys to one?

Well it is a shortcut but I added this where it says Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.73\dosbox.exe" -conf arena.conf So I double click on the shortcut and it uses my arena conf file automatically.

Yes that was it, I was doing it backwards. It just seems like it would be the other way around. Thanks Guys!

Ok so here is the bottom of my conf file: [autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup. @echo off mount c "C:\Documents\DOS\Arena" -freesize 1000 mount d D:\ -t cdrom -ioctl c: arena exit It doesn't exit dosbox when I exit out of arena though.

Yeah in Arena you can't change any of the controls in game. I have the readme file printed in front of me so I have read it. So when I look at the mapper and I click on W it says "key up" so I just don't get what the problem is.

Ok so I start the mapper, I click W using the mouse then click bind and then press the arrow up key on my keyboard. Then I click next and del the w key command so it is just key up when I press W.

Will it do it automatically then? I put arena in the conf file so my shortcut boots it automatically, it seems like if I put exit in there it will start arena then exit.

Ok so I have dosbox 0.73 and I'm trying to change the controls of arena so I can use WASD instead of the arrow keys. I use the mapper and set it up how I want it but when I start arena W won't go forward and nothing works like it should. I did remember to delete W from the Bind list so there …

Ok so I used the mapper but now when I want to type arena to start the game or exit to exit dosbox all my keys are different because I mapped them to something else. Is there a way to map the text "exit" or "arena" to one key? I tried but nothing happened.

Is that were it shows a picture of a keyboard in the dosbox program? I tried messing around with that but I wanted something specific for each different game that I could maybe save in the .conf file.

I wouldn't have to do this batch file crap if what ripa said made sense to me. It seems like i could just add the -conf arena.conf line to the shortcut when I edit it under Target: But that doesn't work at all.

How can I make specific keyboard configurations for games and have that load from my .conf file? I just want to change the controls for each game and then have that load automatically from my .conf file.

Well I don't know I thought that's what he said to do, wd wrote: batch file: Code: dosbox.exe pause I have never made a batch file before so this is all new to me, I don't know all the parameters you need to include or how to make it work, sorry.
Re: Switching .conf files

Ok after the pause I added my line: C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.73\dosbox.exe -conf arena.conf It says: C:\User\Paul\Desktop>Dosbox.exe 'dosbox.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I just used notepad to write that text and then changed the extension from . …
