Question for anyone here familiar with DosBox:
I just upgraded to new specs below:
ASUS P5Q-Pro LGA 775 Intel P45
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz - Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro 92mm
OCZ Platinum (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel
Visontek Radeon 4850 PCI-e
2x Western Digital Raptor WD360GD 36.7GB SATA in RAID 0
Western Digital 250GB SATA
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty
Memorex DVD-RW Duel Layer
I installed all my programs including DosBox. However, I love retro gaming but can't get DosBox to recognize my keyboard. It loads up just fine but at the Dos prompt I can't type in anything. I can change the ini file to mount C: and the CD-Rom drive but again when I start DosBox it just doesn't recognize ANY keystrokes! The Dos prompt just keeps blinking. I can use the mouse to close the program so it's not freezing on me. I've unistalled, cleaned the registry, and re-installed several times to no avail. I even tried a few frontends but none let me use my keyboard.
The DosBox version is 0.72 and my keyboard is a PS/2 Logitech Media.
I've used DosBox for many years and never had this problem. I've used the same keyboard with DosBox before. I've checked the DosBox forums (Vorgons) but the only keyboard issues talked about are using different language layouts that cause different character keystrokes.
Anyone care to guess what my issue is?
