Dosbox allows me to play some of the older koei games such as RTK2, RTK1, Bandit kings of ancient china and so on, however, the keyboard doesn't function when I'm in combat mode. Can someone help me on this? I"m using the standard US keyboard with 103 keys, Running on windows xp and a p4 1.8ghz cpu.

Thanks,
Mike

default answer.

Hope for next version.
We don't know/have the games.

Little you can do about it.

The problem you have is caused by Dosbox not supporting numeric keyboard (when numlock is on).

Something was explained here but it is a bit too advanced for me 😉

I looked into this a while ago........

"Also, it looks like DOSbox. However, even though the game will tell you to use the numeric keypad to move during battle, I had to use the top row number keys."

-I don't remember which keys did what though, so try them all....

Good Luck!

You're quite right, the numeric keys at the top of the keyboard do work properly. However, they ceased to function whenever I hit the caps or num lock. Anyhow, this is a lot better than nothing at all. Thank you developers of dosbox 😀

I have just tried Nobunaga's Ambition 2 in the current CVS and it seems ok (numeric keyboard works as it should). So wait for the next version.
