Just bought Terminal Velocity, and I'm running into some keyboard problems in DOSBox. It seems that, for some odd reason or another, DOSBox sometimes starts repeating a key press like crazy and doesn't stop when the key is released. Any idea what it might be causing this?

you might want to try to lower the priority of dosbox.
in the configfile there is a setting for that.

"priority=normal,normal" fixes that kind of behaviour on my system.

Thanks! That seems to help. Odd that priority would do this 🙁.
