DOSBOX - Anyway to use keys?
« on: February 07, 2010, 11:31:48 pm »
My control panel uses the space key, along with alt and ctrl. I just tried to config a dos game in dosbox to use these buttons, but it won't let me. Is there anyway to make those keys usable?

I don't know if you can, however try pressing Ctrl-F1 when in DosBox and see if you can map the keys that way.

The game won't let you?  Sounds like a limit of the game.  So remap DOSBOX so it sends different keys to the game, as Havok says.
