I've set up Megarace with Dosbox, it works pretty well, however, the 2 places which require text entry just don't respond to the keyboard, which is the highscore table, and more importantly, saving the game!

Eg. at the car selection screen I choose the orange button in the middle with the arrow keys on it, and that brings up the options menu where you can Save and Load. I choose "Save" and a text box appears with a flashing cursor, and no key presses have any effect!

Same for the High Score screen when entering your name. The only option I have to progress is just press Escape to skip entering my name.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Dosbox version is 0.74
Operating system: Windows XP
I wouldn't have though any other aspects of my setup are relevant here but let me know otherwise.

I did not try vanilla DOSBox, but it seems to work fine in DOSBox-X SDL2. The only thing I had to do was increase the cycles a bit and it ran fine and keyboard input into the Hall of Fame worked.
