Hello everybody !

I work on a problem since several days and I post here to find anyone who could help me.

I have a application running on DOS. This application was developed specifically for one machine, for one person, for one keyboard. I don't know this machine but I know that it works on a Windows 98 machine.

Now we have to change the PC.
The new PC have Windows 7 Pro SP1 32 bits.
I tested the application with the last version of Dosbox (0.74) but with the oldest available too.

After a certain time for configure Dosbox (
- fullscreen does'nt work with SDL, I have to switch to OpenGL in the configuration file
- I downloaded the good language package and keymap (for me, the French pack)
), the application works fine, except one important thing for its, the arrow keys.

I tested a abandonware game, and the arrows work fine.

I use the mapper menu CTRL+F1 and mapper config file to change key which send a key_up event.

I pressed all keyboard keys, but I can't find a key which send a equivalent of an arrow to the program.

So, I need ideas and/or programs which can help me to find the good event to link with the arrow keys for this program.

I hope that I was clear.
Thanks you for all who read me, and more thanks for all who reply 😀

Good bye !
