Hey guys,

I have installed the latest version of DOSBox but I have an issue. The shift key does not work with DOSBox. I cannot put : or ! or # or any of the characters that can only appear using the shift key. Can anyone help me in this?

The keyboard is brand new..bought from the store and the shift key works in everything else except DOSBox.

Did you try the virtual keyboard screenbar?
Which version of DOSBox did you use?

I am using .79 version.

How do I use the virtual keyboard screen grabber?

Ctrl-F1. Read initial screen of DOSBOX.

Nope. That does not work for me at all. I am still unable to use shift key and I have to keep hitting ctrl-f1 to disable and enable shift key that is insane and sometimes it works, sometimes it does not work.

There is a bug in MorphOS edition and it needs attention.

Another problem when I play the game it shrinks the resolution of DOSBox into like 64 x 64 size....instead of going full screen in the game. Nu uh...not doing it for me here.

No, DOSBOX works perfect under MOS - I'm running it here, even with Windows3.11....

Look for config-file:

...............
# xms: Enable XMS support.
# ems: Enable EMS support.
# umb: Enable UMB support.
# keyboardlayout: Language code of the keyboard layout (or none).

xms=true
ems=true
umb=true
keyboardlayout=gr
..........................

One last question to ask, I promise. By the way thanks polluks. Here is the question. Can I install Windows XP and have internet connection in DOSBox? I am just curious. Because if I could then DOSBox is as close as VirtualBox for MorphOS PPC as I can get heheh! That means I can play MMORPG games on MorphOS under DOSBox Windows XP.

I was able to run XP on BOCHS emulator - but the speed was underwhelming, even on a G5 2,7 GHz. The Virtual PC on OSX PPC is a much better option for this task. As for the net connection - I'm not quite sure of the BOCHS, need to test that... someday :). Works on Virtual PC though.

As for the speed - I've found few of my old videos showing how it performs. Now:

Booting (and basic usage of) Windows XP on Bochs:

Are you sure your MMORPG is less demanding than that?

There is only one gme I want to play in BOCHS emulator hehe...

Anarchy Online.
