Hi,
Has anyone noticed that? only one shift key works at a time. Both working at the same time is however, essential for playing most Pinball games. Is there a workaround for this? Forcing windib did not work for me. And yes, it's working outside DOSBox (tested on VirtualPC running Win98SE with the same game - Extreme Pinball).

BTW, I'm running the latest ykhwong's build. Are there any other settings that I should change? usescancodes did not work either. Ditto for turning NumLock on and changing keyboard layout.

Thank you so much! That worked perfectly! Is there any way that I can set this permanently?

You can find "Run DOSBox with DirectX driver.bat" in TOOLS directory.

IIRC official dosbox uses directx by default.

If using Windows then:

sysdm.cpl,3

Click on Environment Variables

Just run Ykhwong's dosbox with "Run dosbox with directX driver". By the way, windib isn't working with ddraw renderer, so I am using this .bat by default.
