I'm playing Indiana Jones - Fate of Atlantis using DOSBox. The only problem is that the F1 key is necessary to save the game. I'm playing on a Macbook so the F1 key doesn't work. I tried also to click fn + F1 and nothing happened. I'd like to know if there's any keyboard combination to substitute the F1 key.

Thanks.

P.S.: I'm brazilian so sorry about my bad English writing...

I can't help with the original problem because i'm no Mac user, but why don't you try ScummVM? It should be much easier to use for playing LucasArts (and other) adventures.

Don't know how the default mapping of the F1-F12 keys is on MAC, but you
can use the mapper to remap any physical key of your keyboard as the
F1 key (see "mapper" and "startmapper" in the readme).

Errrr... using Fn + Fx works on my macbook pro. In the same game no less. Perhaps you need to remember that the game doesn't bring up the save dialog if you are in the middle of a sequence or action.

Last time played OXYD inside DOSBox, I detected that I have to play this game in fullscreen mode to get the function keys (fn + F1) recognized.

Maybe yours is the same...
