I'm running Robot Odyssey and Rocky's Boots (similar game engine) on dosbox 0.73, running on OSX. In the game, you press the arrow keys to move by large increments, and shift-arrow to move by small increments. However, it doesn't seem to register the shift key, and shift-arrow moves the avatar by large increments. This is maddening because the game seems to work perfectly otherwise, but this little thing renders it unplayable!
I've tried playing around with keyboard setup, even remapping the keys, but all the keys work normally as far as I can tell. At the commandline, I can use shift and all other keys normally.
When I played these games on the original machines, years ago, it worked fine, so I presume the problem must be in emulation; but if dosbox is picking up the keyboard signals accurately, what can the problem be? Does anyone have any ideas?
