Hi, I'm trying to use the cheat in Windows 3.1 Hearts that allows you to see all the CPU hands. The shortcut for this (after putting ZB=42 in the ini file) is Ctrl-Shift-Alt-F12. Unfortunately in Dosbox this just turns on Fast Forward for as long as you hold the keys down, and I don't see a place in the mapper to change this. Is there a way around this, like a line you can put in the config file to remap this, or another Dosbox build that enables this, or some other way I can send the key combination without invoking Fast Forward? Thanks.

Click on the "Speedlock" event in the mapper then click on "Del". After deleting the existing binding, you can bind to some other key if you still need the feature. You may also need to do it for the "Inc Cycles" event because it has a binding to Ctrl-F12 by default.

Thanks, that worked like a charm and I beat the CPU handily 😀 Mercifully I don't use incr/decr cycles anymore. I just follow the performance guide and keep the cycles at 26800 to simulate 486/66 speed, and create batch files to run older programs at 8088/286/386 speeds.
