Hi DOSBox is great! Anyone know how to input your initials in the highscore in Pinball Dreams using DOSBox 0.74? Tried pressing the letters on my keyboard, but nothing happens, only spacebar seems to work when entering your highscore initials.

I use DOSBox in Ubuntu 10.10 (64-bit) and every game I've tried in DOSBox works fine. Maybe the highscore thing is the only glitch I've encountered so far?

Cheers.

Often in such games initial entry is done arcade-style, by selecting a letter with the up-and-down keys.

I suspect it would act much the same on genuine hardware and is thus by no means a DOSBox glitch.

Pinball Dreams needs the scores to be entered with the flippers, arcade style indeed and it worked like that on real hardware too.

Hi, I've solved it. Just a weird way of using the keyboard to enter the high score - not very intuitive in this game.

Thanks for your replies. 😎
