I forgot to say that DosBox shows this message: "DOS keyboard layout loaded with main language code SP for layout sp", so it seems DosBox doesn't detect an error.

Perhaps try as in the screenshot?

Hello, Bloodbat,

I wanted to ask you if you used the ASCII combinations or whether you typed the characters normally. Also, did you change anything in dosbox.conf?

Thanks!

I had already tried using the "keyb" command, but I've tried again and nothing. I can see you get 858 in both cases (in "keyb sp", I think you should get 437). In any case, I still don't understand why the Spanish keyboard doesn't work for me.

I typed the characters normally, the only ASCII code I remember these days is for "ñ".

The relevant .conf parts:

1[sdl]
2fullscreen=false
3fulldouble=true
4fullresolution=1280x1024
5windowresolution=original
6output=ddraw
7autolock=true
8sensitivity=100
9waitonerror=true
10priority=normal,normal
11mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map
12usescancodes=true
13
14[dosbox]
15language=
16machine=svga_s3
17captures=capture
18memsize=16
19
20[dos]
21xms=true
22ems=true
23umb=true
24keyboardlayout=auto

As you can see, except for the resolution, fulldouble and output, it's pretty much the default.

It works fine for me too.

As you can see I have a keyb sp 437 command executed in the [Autoexec] section of DOSBox.

Well, it doesn't work for me and I don't understand why! I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium Edition: does this have anything to do with it? I have a Spanish keyboard configured as Spanish and I never have problems with it. Is there anything I could try ? Thanks!

got a HP keyboard ?

Yes.
