Hello there!

I am trying to play Lands Of Lore on my Dosbox. Since the default keys are arrow keys and numpad keys its really akward for me to getting used to these. What i want to do is remap arrow keys to wasd. I tried to do it with Dosbox mapper (Ctrl+F1) but it doesnt seem to work! I delete the arrow up bind, then delete w bind and replace it with arrow up but it just doesnt work! Why?

Thanks!

I used the guide from wiki

Q1. You want to have the X on your keyboard to type a Z in DOSBox.
A. Click on the Z on the keyboard mapper. Click "Add". Now press the X key on your keyboard.
Q2. If you click "Next" a couple of times, you will notice that the Z on your keyboard also produces an Z in DOSBox.
A. Therefore select the Z again, and click "Next" until you have the Z on your keyboard. Now click "Del".
Q3. If you try it out in DOSBox, you will notice that pressing X makes ZX appear.
A. The X on your keyboard is still mapped to the X as well! Click on the X in the keyboard mapper and search with "Next" until you find the mapped key X. Click "Del".

No dice...
