Hi All!

I'm using DosBox ver 0.72 , and only one arrow key can be use used at the same time. (like when I press forward I can't go left at the same time, but the all other keys are still working)
Anybody here who faced similar issues?

P.S. It is the same in all games I start under DosBox, I tried the priority change but no luck.

And I'm using XP64bit

I did. When I set it to false it gets even worse, then nothing seems to work

What kind of keyboard do you have, USB or PS/2? What OS are you using? If Windows, what keyboard layout are you using? Do other SDL programs work correctly?

Thanks for the reply, but I found out what the problem was.
I hat to turn off the NUM LOCK, so the keys can work simultaniously, but this only happens in DOSBox

dosbox uses the cross-platform SDL library for handling, so that's probably the one to blame. It's not the first time SDL has weird behaviour. I'm glad you found the problem.
