When I'm in DOSBox whenever I press Spacebar it'll cause a space to appear but also put an X in front of what I was just typing. For example if I want to mount a drive I'll type in "Mount" but then when I press space it'll appear as this "Mountx ." It's a very weird issue and I'm not sure what's going on. Anybody have a solution? Thanks.

That's strange. This problem is on a laptop? Try plugging in an external keyboard. Maybe that will do it.

Just another user that likes old OSes and videogames, nothing interesting to see here...

Have you tried resetting the keymapper settings?

That was the exact problem. I remapped the controls on Star Wars: Dark Forces so jump would be space bar instead of "X." I played for a couple hours and somehow completely had forgotten that I'd done that. I feel like a dunce... 😀 Thanks for the help.
